About the Project

IMPORTANT: Starring the project indicates shows your appreciation and will result in new features being added!

This project started with the motivation of learning web automation further and scraping with Python.
I managed to succesfully create a bot that could:

• Open a browser and login to Tinder.com
• Setting a custom location for FREE (which is normally a paid-for-Tinder Plus-feature)
• Setting profile settings and preferences, such as distance radius, minimum and maximum age, sexuality.
• Accept all notifications and dismiss pop-ups
• Swiping x number of profiles left or right
• Scraping data of the profiles displayed, including, yet not limited to, name, age, bio, images, ...
• Sending personalized messages to your matches
• Sending you social media cards, like Instagram, Snapchat, Phonenumber and Facebook
• Sending GIFS and songs
• Unmatching

If you feel like diving right in, the quickstart.py will help you be right on track.
If you're new to coding and just want the script to automatically like, the auto_swipe.py would be what you're looking for!
Feel free to make a pull request and contribute to this project!

Enjoy! :)

Usage of Tinderbot

Features

Features of Tinderbot as demonstrated belowed can be found here: Tinderbot features

Demonstration

Setting some Profile settings

Liking 10 profiles in row + dismissing potential pop ups

Scraping your matches (new matches + messaged matches)

Sending personalized messages to your matches

Example Data Analysis

When scraping geomatches or your own matches, you can start doing some pretty cool stuff with that data. A few examples are:

Worldclouds

You can create wordclouds to visualise data such as the most popular names, or most occuring words in a bio.

The 'Average' Person

You can also start calculating what an 'average' tinderprofile would look like.
You can for example check the average number of words a bio consists of or the average number of images a user has.

How to Avoid the Ban

This small section will explain how their bot detection works and how you can avoid getting banned.

1) Go easy with newly created profiles

Newly created profiles are much more likely to get banned than long-existing ones.
So be extra cautious!

2) Avoid the usage of URLS!

This one is very lethal for your accounts. Avoid sending urls to people in messages and DO NOT place any url in your bio!

3) Avoid running the code overnight

Try to use the code when you can see it running. In case you need to handle something (like a captcha or anything) you can immediatly respond to it. I've heard some people had to prove they were not bots by doing some captcha and this could age very poorly when you run it overnight. Myself however, I haven't yet had 'the honour' to be redirected to such a captcha. So if you play it safe, there would be no need to panic.

4) Implement sleeps between swipes

This might sounds ridiculous, but most people take a look at the profile before they swipe it. Therefore instantly swiping right on every profile puts you in a 'non humanlike behaviour'-zone, which should be tried to be avoided. Adding a sleep between swipes can be done as described here. It is recommended to sleep at least 1 second between every swipe. If you have a rather new profile, then make it 2 or 3 (float numbers like 1.5 are also allowed).

5) Implement randomness in your liking and disliking

Same applies as above; most people dislike some profiles and like others. Not liking EVERY profile could help you stay under the radar. Example of how to do so can be found here.

6) Make your profile look as real as possible

Your profile cannot look in any way like those spambots. Therefore a few things can be done.

6.1) Verify your profile with the blue badge to prove it's really you

6.2) Link your Instagram/Spotify/Facebook and verify your email

6.3) Write a good bio, preferably with a minimum of 100 characters

6.4) Add at least 3-4 images, preferably more
