Coded a TikTok automation bot to:

• View videos
• Send Likes
• Gain Followers

I created this for my business Scorphx to take advantage of TikTok's "viral content" algorithm during the most viral time for my business (2022 World Cup): generate rapid engagement, promote the concept kits I was selling, and direct mass traffic to link-in-bio i.e. my online store.

• Selenium library- controls a web browser and navigate to TikTok, where it allows user to select from a number of different modes that perform different actions.
• Uses pyfiglet library to display banner message = visually appealing.
• strftime function- formats into user-friendly readable elapsed time.

1. Clone repo:

   git clone https://github.com/vdutts7/scorphx-tiktok-automation-bot 

   cd scorphx-tiktok-automation-bot

2. Install modules:

   pip install -r scorphx-algo-reqs.txt

3. Run the .py file:

   python the-scorphx-algo.py

*from POV of a non-coder looking for absolute convenience

Pros

• Banner message = visually appealing.
• Includes functions to clear/title text in terminal = easy to read program output and see current status.
• Checks if current ChromeDriver version exists. If it doesn't, downloads it automatically.
• Several try and except blocks to catch exception i.e. minimize program crashes.
• strftime function --> formats into user-friendly readable elapsed time.
  

Cons

• Code uses Selenium to control a web browser, which can be unreliable and prone to breaking when websites change.
  • If TikTok makes any important updates, code may break.
• Code uses chromedriver_autoinstaller library to check if the current version of ChromeDriver exists and, if it doesn't, download it automatically. Potential compatibility issues.
• Does not include error handling for invalid input i.e. if user enters a value that is not an integer when prompted to select a mode. This could result in the program crashing if the user enters invalid input.
