Description
This PR introduces improvements to our Twitter scraping authentication process to make it more robust and less detectable as automated behavior.
Changes
In
config.go
:RandomSleep()
function to add variability in request timingIn
auth.go
:NewScraper()
to useRandomSleep()
before and after login attemptsRationale
These changes aim to make our scraping behavior more human-like and reduce the risk of being detected as a bot or having our accounts suspended. By introducing random delays between actions, we mimic natural user behavior more closely.
