Twitter (X) Space automation

[taurin]

Hey guys! I've got a catchy Twitter handle and I'm pulling in some traffic just by being on Twitter Spaces. I'm planning to script my main account to roam Twitter Spaces 24/7. I've seen on forums that many people face challenges when trying to automate interactions with Twitter.

So, I started this thread to explore the nitty-gritty, the risks, and whatever else I should be aware of. Specifically, I have questions about:

1. Which version of Selenium is optimal for automating Twitter Spaces?
2. Should I use Google Chrome or Firefox for best performance?
3. Is logging in via a session file more effective than password entry?
4. What should I know about handling HTTP headers?
5. What's the better user agent for this task (1 stable session)?

I'd be grateful for any advice and for links to threads where this has already been discussed.

latest, you will need to modify it so it's not detected, or use an undetectable version of (search githu)

1. Should I use Google Chrome or Firefox for best performance?

unfortunately, the answer is chrome

1. Is logging in via a session file more effective than password entry?

login is login, doesn't matter for effectiveness

1. What should I know about handling HTTP headers?

you are using selenium, you don't need to know anything

1. What's the better user agent for this task (1 stable session)?

default browser useragent, don't change it, it can be detected you are using the wrong UA for your browser

it's selenium, so open the browser, automate the clicks how you need, that's it

Thank you! Very helpful, but I'm scared to start developing, because if product account flies off, it's going to be sad

If it's an established account, a real account that you've used manually for a while, you'll be fine. They are not going to ban you for using selenium

And to be clear, "established" doesn't mean "signed up 5 years ago and never used".
"Real" account, means real / everyday / genuine account (not an account used purely for botting).
"Quality account" means quality account, I don't care if you think your spam is quality, it's not.

I'm always surprised by users who insist to tell me they are using established, real, quality accounts, then I check the profile and..... surprise surprise another spammy crappy fake account


Anyway, if you are using a real product account, you will be fine. At worst you may get a temp block, if so, at the point it's time to stop.

That all said, it's not non-zero risk, always have a backup plan in case the worst scenerio occurs.

Yes, the account is from 2022, but I've been actively posting for 2-3 months. I engaged in manual interactions and did some light community spamming with a Custom ChatGPT Google Sheet giveaway, which resulted in a shadow reply-ban. Perhaps it's worth gradually building up the account further...

I'm planning to develop private software for personal use, not for sale =D
