Need a tool that auto replies to a users tweets within seconds

[MrRandQm]

wrote a linux script that checks user , can reply if the new tweet is found newer than last time it checked , can check every second/min/etc and can reply
is that what you wanted ?

A linux script? Lol what

 

[rootjazz]

My only concern with just using a regular script without using the API is that Twitter might ban your IP? I am not a coder at all.

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-automation

Don’t! Use non-API-based forms of automation, such as scripting the Twitter website. The use of these techniques may result in the permanent suspension of your account.

Maybe if they don't ban the IP, you would just need something to check Twitter under 1 IP, but log-in and post under a different IP (proxy).

Here are the rate limits for the API. Not sure what all of this means to be honest:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limits

lol. And you think if you spam twitter within their declared limits with the API you don't get banned? I can assure you that will happen.

Equally there is no guarantee you get your account suspended for automating nonAPI sources (Website). To twitter it looks like you are just using the website. It isn't HOW you do it. It is all about WHAT you do.


Which is why, scraping the user feed every 2 seconds is NOT the way to achieve this [1], as I posted above. I can assure you it isn't. As above, if you follow the user, you can make regularly (every n seconds) requests AS THAT IS WHAT THE BROWSER does to get an updated userfeed. Pull that response and extract the user you watching then spam tweet you reply. That will work (assuming your spam tweet doesn't get flagged).

The other way (best) is API STREAMING functions with the IPN of new tweets

[1]
Caveat, If you have proxies you can use to paginate your userfeed scrape, that would work. as a way around over scraping the user. So with 100 proxies, each taking in turns to scrape the userfeed for new tweets with a 2 second pause, each proxy would be used every 200 (about 3minutes) Which is still a lot through the day, 24x7, but better than just using your main account

 

[rootjazz]

could you not just scrape the twitter page on one ip(and diff instance) and keep doing it until there's an update. When there's an update, use tweepy(or whatever you'd like) to tweet?

try scraping the userfeed every 2 seconds for a week and see what happens

 

[rootjazz]

This is so wrong.
If you know how to build houses you gotta ask people how they want them.

I am asking about mechanics, specials, etc. as developer you gotta know where to start and where you wanna end. Doesn't help me if you tell me you wanna go to paris if you don't know the way there.

Being a developer is about looking at the problem and figuring it out. I've posted above the 2 main ways to do this. But you could just go look at the website and figure out that out. View the pages, monitor the HTTP traffic, you would see what options are available for "watching" a page without overscraping and getting blocked banned. That is the easy part, the analysis, which you should know.

One you know what has to be done (your algorithm):
* Now automate perform the scrape to get the new tweet
* Now automate the login with the account
* Now automate posting the reply.

If you are asking for advice on how to know what to do, actually doing it, is going to be much harder. But maybe I am wrong and you were just too lazy to look to do your analysis, but then if so, you will be too lazy to do the work

As I said originally, respecfully, if you say

"I will do this, how do I do this"

then you are not aware of the complications in actually doing so and the maintenence it requires to keep a bot up to date with a site like twitter

 

[MrRandQm]

Put some proxies on it and literally nothing will happen indeed

 

[rootjazz]

yes that would be a way around it.

So a userfeed scraper solution would need scraping_proxies and main account for the tweeting.

But still, divide your scraping over 100 proxies and that is still a page scrape every 3 minutes, every hour, every week. Better still if you have a proxy service with a backend pool of 50k proxies, but now you need to handle getting a down endpoint and the complications begin to add up

Rotating proxies, they're meant for such things

Would you still be interested if the tool make it in 5 minutes or 1 minutes?

Have you ever scraped Twitter and figured out their limits? I doubt they have a limit on GET requests for user feeds considering there are services that do nothing but scrape user feeds to archive them.

I'd definitely pay for something like this lol

Post a Hire A Freelancer and only deal with upgraded members. Saves both of you losing your accounts.

Good to know, just need to find someone capable of making one I suppose.

Same applies; Post a Hire A Freelancer and only deal with upgraded members. Saves both of you losing your accounts.

I'll invest 3 hours today, and see how it goes

Following

Excellent if this is going to be totally free.

I could probably develope something like this, web based through an dashboard/admin panel. Just need to know how it should work like as I am not into twitter that much.

So lets say you have a specific person you follow and as soon as they tweet something, you retweet it? What text will it be? Is or should the text be static or dynamic? How many persons you want to be? Is it only about one single person or a few specific persons? And isn't there already tools for that?

Excellent if this is going to be totally free.

Following. I might make this if there is enough interest. I have considered making this for myself before but didnt really need it.

Again, generous share provided this is going to be totally free.

Will do, thanks buddy.

 

[daewoo45]

Would you still be interested if the tool make it in 5 minutes or 1 minutes?

I have a tool that can do it in relative good speed but it's super limited and can only focus on one account. Was just wondering if there was a better option the market but it looks like I will have to hire someone to build it.

Why lol? What's funny about it? Nobody is talking about spamming Twitter. Being the first to post a message doesn't make it spam. Why would Twitter ban us for being the first to post a message? There are clearly thousands of people already doing this on political posts like Donald Trump. How can you say it isn't how you do it? What does that even mean?

 

[rootjazz]

Why lol? What's funny about it? Nobody is talking about spamming Twitter. Being the first to post a message doesn't make it spam.

OP (or another user in the thread) was talking about posting a message with a link. I imagine nothing at all to do with the tweet made. That is spammy. Posting with the API is more likely to get your banned / blocked (content depending) than the same posting in the browser. That is just a fact.

Why would Twitter ban us for being the first to post a message?

Because it is spam Of course there are varying levels, but if you want to just post your link / offer whatever to a popular profiles tweets, it is spam.

There are clearly thousands of people already doing this on political posts like Donald Trump

Sure, go ahead. Post your tweet reply as the first reply over many profiles. In my experience, it will end in at least your API being made read only or disabled. I've seem it happen time and time again

 

[rootjazz]

Have you ever scraped Twitter and figured out their limits?

Yes, extensively

I doubt they have a limit on GET requests for user feeds considering there are services that do nothing but scrape user feeds to archive them.

Repeating the same search over and over again, every 2 seconds is not advised. Which an archive service is not doing. Just a daily scrape and page through to the previous result. the issue at hand here, is scraping every 2 seconds 24x7

 

[Frenzied]

When you click the notifications bell, and select all tweets, your iphone notifies you the INSTANT the person you put notifications on for tweets out something. Surely the iPhone here is sending constant requests to get new tweets, although I really don't know how the iphone notifications work.

 

[bluecoder]

Hey there, been looking around but couldn't quite find what I am looking for.

I need a tool that can auto reply to a specific persons tweets within seconds of them posting it.

Api based or browser based ?... As both has its own Pros and cons....

You are making some crazy assumptions. Posting related messages is of course going to convert much better than unrelated links.

 

[SEOMadHatter]

Interesting idea.

From a technical standpoint it'd be easy to offer. I can't imagine Twitter would allow the same account to constantly drop links though so you'd probably need to rotate accounts.

 

[demoownz]

Yes, extensively

Well, I disagree with you. I made a quick script to grab a users feed every second. As you can see from the screenshot below, I knew the second the account had a new post.
