The Ultimate Guide to Selenium Bots - Automating Twitter
In this video we will explore the art of bot making for the purpose of understanding how it's being used against us 🤖🤖🤖
We will create a simple retweeting bot that searches for posts that contain a certain keyword like: "cat" or "dog" and then retweets selected posts with a quoted message.
The code and the lesson-flow I will demonstrate does not contain any unethical practices: we use a single account and we automate it for harmless purposes. However the techniques you will learn can be applied on different use cases ☢️☢️ so PLEASE use this information responsibly!!! ☢️☢️
