HttpWebRequest on Twitter Without API's to FOLLOW a person [HELP] - Gr0wlit - Jan 28, 2013
Hi all, i'm currently working on a twitter bot, but for some reasons, i can't figure out a working code with webrequest with which i can follow someone.
Currently i can login and store cookies from that action, but then i try to POST a request to
Code
https://twitter.com/i/user/followwith the exact token and the exact username they require, but i get the error which tells me that my account isn't enabled to do that action. Below the code:
Code
request = DirectCast(HttpWebRequest.Create("https://twitter.com/i/user/follow"), HttpWebRequest)
Dim Post2 As String = "authenticity_token=" & Token & "&user_id=707602308"
Dim PostData2 As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Post2)
With request
.Method = "POST"
.CookieContainer = cc
.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1"
.Accept = "application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01"""
.Referer = "https://twitter.com/Gr0wlit"
.ContentType = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8"
.KeepAlive = True
.ContentLength = PostData2.Length
Dim str As Stream = .GetRequestStream
str.Write(PostData2, 0, PostData2.Length)
str.Close()
End With
res = DirectCast(request.GetResponse, HttpWebResponse)
cc.Add(res.Cookies)
source = New StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream).ReadToEnd
res.Close()where req is the httpwebrequest and cc is cookiecontainer. Where is the error?

Is the account you are following with email confirmed?

I've done all correctly, since the token is the same of the token i use to login, and all is stored on the same cookiecontainer.

Use the html request would take forever. Just use a php script, you could easily follow with 1000 accounts under 2 minutes. and since it uses the api + mobile version u can't get banned.

Can you explain better what you are trying to say please?

Connection keep-alive
Pragma no-cache
Cache-Control no-cachemake sure your mimicking the exact packet but with replacing the changing values you need to post. also, make sure your sending all the cookies needed.
what i learned best is to just create an html file with the response string and above everything have the request and response headers.

The token from your login is different from the tokens on every page. Every new page generates a new token.
