Hello everyone, I just tested the bot and I find them very interesting possibility. I think there is much to do but I find execution is very long! You find things to make it faster?

rhiever commented 9 years ago

Execution of the bot is slow because it's interacting with the Twitter API through the internet, so it's limited by your internet speed (minor impact) and the speed of the Twitter API. I haven't checked the Twitter API lately, but it might be possible to perform batch operations.

Either way, you generally want to avoid making too many Twitter API calls in a short amount of time - that angers the Twitter API gods.

Yes I understand, but I'm very well equipped with fiber optics, so it does not come to that. You know crowdfire? It's a sass that can do the same things (in less pushed in my opinion, that's why I'm interested in TwitterFollowBot), but it's really much faster.

I'll see if there are ways to make it more efficient, for I find cool opportunity, especially for multi account.
