My journey to making a TWITTER BOT with PYTHON/SELENIUM and showing you how to do it

You knw the biggest problem with twitter is ghosting. Once you start following the accounts get ghosted. How are you going to solve that.

If a real person can follow without getting goshbaned then the people that its getting shosted are doing anything bad i guess , i will have to try to find anything that can get you ghosted and help to hide it,but anyway my bot its a tool so if i give you that tool and you start to follow 1000 people a day from day 1 and you get banned its not my tools fault, but i will work on anything i can so there is no faults on my part

You don't have to follow 1000 a day to get ghosted. Just below 100 can get you ghosted.

maybe there is a problem with your proxies or how the accounts were made? or maybe its the bot dunno , its too early for me to think about that right now

Well, I was only letting you know. Let's face it, it would be really difficult to sell a follow/unfollow bot if you can't get followback.

i completely agree with you but my plan is not to make it a follow unfollow bot but something bigger,in fact my bot its ready for follow and unfollow and on my tests i have been following a few hundreds of people and i didnt got ghosted or anything and i even got followbacks even with my account having nothing relevant to the people i was following
anyway for example a lot of people get a lot of accounts banned in instagram using followliker for example and im using it for nearly a year and my accounts hasnt been banned so maybe its not the program you know?
twitter wont ghost everyone they will have some ways to detect spammy accounts like if you follow 100 people on 1 min or whatever
it may be the way that the bot interacts with twitter too so thats something i will have to check in the future

Important Notice
Something has happened guys and i may not be updating this thread so often , my uncle sells on ebay , i think around 500€/day on average and he needs a program to keep his inventary and also be able to keep it on multiple websites and be able to sell on them all, like putting and item on the program and it uploads it to every website or the ones you put etc and since i was doing this just for the purpose of learning i will give priority to the other one but i will still keep updating this thread maybe once a week or something like that
Maybe i will open a new thread with the other program? what do you guys think

personally I'd love to see more coding journeys.

once your ebay program is finished you could probably sell it. write a bot that will message 1000's of ebay vendors and offer it to them

Update for my projects in general

i had some trouble make a treeview on tkinter to be able to filter it or order it
so i had to change some things and i used a database of sqlite3 on python and when i want to search i just make a query on my sqlite databse , remove my current treeview and import the fetch of the query to the treeview
now i think a lot of the methods will be much more "easy" , it will be some work to implement it but all the filters order etc can be done really easy

hey man i'm interested with working with you, i created a bot that works similar with tweepy and some other libs. are you still working on your project bro? im looking to make a better bot in selenium

I have currently have left the twitter bot aside since im working on a project that i think its more important but my current project uses selenium and python too so we can surely talk
btw my bot didnt used tweepy or that becouse i didnt use the twitter api

hey, yes that's why i wanted to look into selenium since using API is pretty bad. Can you maybe PM me what project you are working on? i might want to look into it too

I don similar project in PHP but many people asked me to offer desktop version but I didn't had the skill to reqrite it in C# or anything related to .net environment Anyway I love your thinking way of using Python with GUI i used python on my server before with selenium and it was impressive ,
btw you can make the same bot to work on very cheap Linux VPS server (with 64~128MB) you can have onw start from 4$ year , any way Webdriver didn't work with monitor i test it you will need to use PhantomJS as your browser engine .
Last I want to ask you are Tkinter compile the final project to binary code or leaves some of .py files open , Ask you this for security (no one reuse your code ) and for performance Python and PHP-5 had the worst performance among any other programming language so keep this in mind .
Last how much multi threads you can reach with Python/selenium , i saw tutorial of GSA some guy say it can do 300 mutithreads in second (on high end server ) and about 50 threads on small laptop .
Which you lock bro .

sorry for taking so long to answer , i didnt saw your post since this project its on the side right now.
okay as far as i know my program can work on linux
i can use phantomjs but on the future i will use http requests since it will consume much less
i would compile my program but im not really sure of this 100% i have to research more since python its really made to be open
the thing about python performance is that im not doing a lot of heavy taks on python itself i use python like a road to connect everything i need
the multithread thing , more threads != more performance it depends on your cpu , this requieres more explanation
lets say you have 2 cpus , an intel duo with 2cores-2threads and a ryzen 5 with 6 cores-12 threads
if you dont use multithread and you are doing some heavy operations that use the 100% of your cpu
you will have on the first one you are using 1 core out of your 2 and you still have 1 free and on the ryzen you are using 1 of 6
so lets say you want to multithread it with 4 threads
on the first one you will be using your 2 cores , with 2 threads on each one wich will be more than the cpu can hold so
you will have better performance if you used 2 threads only instead of 4
on the other hand the ryzen has still a lot of threads free .
so the thing is more threads != more performance you have to make your program use enought threads for your cpu
also if your threads doesnt consume a lot its fine to have a lot of them.
right now i use my threads for queues of tasks

btw I do my search on python GUI I find out PyQt5 is best tools to make , but they stupidly not output eithe .py or even exe like wht VisulaStudio do , so I endup using three tools to have my exe file this video reduce it to two steps last step is convert your .py to exe using pyinstaller but the output file were too large I guess they don't use windows native library to create window , which is stupid on my POV .
Last I already use HTTP request directly in PHP but some sites (specially owned my Google/mayb amazone ebay too) donot allow you do Login-searcgh etc withou loadeing their security Javascript codes .
for multithreads I'm doing it very fast in PHP using fsocketopen I'm preparing to Have my own spider that grabe millions of pages very fast (its under devloping but if it finish will be amazing just like Xrumer-scrape)
Last if you ever think to make app for windows use VisulaStudio its best programming platform I ever tried MS doing amzing work on it specially version 2015 and later .
Good luck .

Some people are just amazing.
