Quickstart

​

Introduction

Let’s get you started with some automated integration magic. 🔌🌐

In this example, you’ll use Anon to connect your LinkedIn account and create a post. All in less than 10 minutes!

​

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js
• Yarn package manager
• Git

​

Setup

​

Clone the examples repo

git clone https://github.com/anon-dot-com/examples.git

​

Install dependencies

Go to the quickstart and install the dependencies:

cd examples/quickstart
yarn install

​

Run the Quickstart

​

Start the application

Execute the following command, replacing <API_KEY> with your actual Anon API key:

yarn run quickstart <API_KEY>

This command performs three actions:

1. Starts the backend server on BACKEND_PORT (default 4001)
2. Launches the frontend server on FRONTEND_PORT (default 4002)
3. Opens your default web browser to initiate the Anon Link process

​

Connect your LinkedIn account

Follow the on-screen instructions in your browser to connect your LinkedIn account using Anon Link.

​

Run an automated action

Once your account is connected, the script will automatically create a post on LinkedIn using Anon’s actions library.

You should see the action being performed in the Playwright browser that opens automatically.

​

Customization

You can customize the automated action by modifying the RUN_ACTION constant in index.ts.

Some examples are provided, such as creating a post or sending a message on LinkedIn.
