Youtube Auto Comment

Snurry · Nov 1, 2009

I looking to find if youtube comments can be left in the actual URL.

With wp blogs the comment field is a post form so comments can be left directly through url like:

http://blog.test/wp-comments-post.php?=comment=blahblahblah&comment_post_ID=10 or something similar.

I'd like to know if this can be done with youtube comments as well.

Code:

<input type=\"button\" name=\"add_comment_button\" value=\"Post Comment\" onclick=\"yt.www.comments.writing.postThreadedComment(\'comment_form${form_id}\');\">

That's the code for the post button.
As far as I can tell this is the information submitted when clicked.

Code:

onclick=\"yt.www.comments.writing.postThreadedComment(\'comment_form${form_id}\');\"

Maybe there is some way of using javascript to post comments.

Anyone know if it's possible, and a push in the right direction would be appriciated.

Hmm i dont believe its possible as youtube passes its comments through a much stricter system that checks further for spam and whatnot. At least thats my take on it but i wouldnt take my info as 100% tho

Anyone else?

Looking at it a bit further it turns out it's a normal html post form in essence.

The form is post to /comment_servlet?add_comment=1&comment_type=V

The value of add_comment_button is "Post Comment".
But what has me confused is the onclick part:

Code:

onclick="yt.www.comments.writing.postThreadedComment('comment_formmain_comment');"

I'm looking for a way a comment can be sent through the browser url, or HTTP headers.

Your message goes through a spam-filter, as soon as you hit submit. They obviously blocked any sort of "http://" "www". What you are trying to do is highly off-stretched, and not the worth the time to bypass it to be honest. - they would catch to it quickly ether way.

I think you're misunderstanding.

I'm not trying to put a url in the comment.
I'm trying to submit the comment form through HTTP protocol.

A normal wordpress comment form looks like:

Code:

<form action="http://wordconstructions.com.au/blog/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
<p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" aria-required='true' />
<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" aria-required='true' />
<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" />
<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
<input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='866' id='comment_post_ID' />
<input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' />
</form>

From that I can directly submit the from through HTTP in a number of different ways.

Using sockets in mIRC I can retreive the names and values of the various form inputs, and use them to simulate posting a comment through a browser.

With WP blogs it's easy to simulate clicking the submit button with

Code:

&submit=Submit%20Content

But it's not so easy for youtube because it has a onclick event:

Code:

onclick=\"yt.www.comments.writing.postThreadedComment(\'comment_form${form_id}\')

I hope you can see where I'm trying to go with this. Basically I'm writing a mIRC bot to retreive urls from a text file and automatically comment on their pages.

why not use a script language and automate through the brower. i think the problem is not posting fast enough but getting new ips and logins. else youtube flag the posts as spam.

BunThings · Nov 3, 2009

Sorry about that; your first sentence mis-lead me.

I see what you are trying to do and it is a bit astonishing since i haven't went the 'irc' way in making a bot just yet. I wouldnt know how to help you with this method, i bet you would be better off posting in an actual scripting/coding forum since this seems a little advanced for the kiddies here.

I was thinking about another script language like php or iMacros which seems to be pretty popular. But I have some experience with the mIRC scripting language and I like the syntax.

There's not much problem with logging in through IRC. And I'd use some simple macro software to renew my ip through the command line.

Yea there's not too much support for mIRC scripting on the net these days. I might pop over to mircscripts.org and see if I can get some help there.

My main problem isn't with the actual mIRC scripting though, it's understanding the HTTP POST request to post a <form>.

A POST request looks like this:

Code:

POST /comments.php HTTP/1.1
Host: youtube.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009101601 Firefox/3.0.15 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 25
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
$crlf
name1=value1&name2=value2

There's a few things I need clearing up.
Which controls are required to post a form (Content-Type, Content-Length) and which are optional?
And will the Content-Type of a form always be application/x-www-form-urlencoded or will it be an attribute in the form (<form Content-Type="othertype")?

Cheers
