Twitch Viewer Bot - PhantomJS C#

Hello,

I was thinking about making a twitch viewer bot with C# and PhantomJS.

Can I have some imput whether you guys think that will work or not.
(PhantomJS does not support flash)

Thank you

need more details on what your bot should exactly do, maybe you dont even need phantomjs and is this still relevant as it was posted months ago?

Firstly figure out what is causing the view counter to increase. You might get lucky and just have to pull a single URL with some cookies set.

If it is a mess of JS going on, you could try and work it all out or just use a browser such as phantomjs or any other selenium driven browser (doesn't have to be selenium but makes it easier if it is imo)

If it is flash, then phantom will be no good and you will need to use ie / ff / chrome through selenium.

Yeah definitely, in this type of project go for a real browser with selenium. As of now it is very powerful and you can use Firefox or Chrome. Its the way to go.

I would suggest you to use PhantomJS; does twitch not support HTML5 video player? If not, of course you should use selenium with chrome or firefox drivers.

I also recommend Watij, easy to use and you can hide the web browser if you need it.
