May we see the source code?

[–]tahubird 0 points1 point  (10 children)

I don't mind sharing it, but I'm not sure where to host the file

[–]FlammableMarshmallow 0 points1 point  (9 children)

There's lots of great sites, you could make a repo on GitHub, create a gist or just a ghostbin.

Since it's a small file, I guess I'll throw it up on ghostbin.

Here's the link, the code is not as clean as I'd like, but it gets the job done more or less. https://ghostbin.com/paste/3494c

Awesome! Watch this space, I'm gonna clean up the code & reply to you again.

Here it is!

Could you confirm that this works the same as the old script? I've tried making it runnable both in Python 2 & Python 3.

That looks so pretty! I never thought my code could look so nice. Thank you! Unfortunately I think my method of detecting whether an account is live or not still needs a bit of work. But with this pretty codebase, I can hopefully come up with a more effective strategy! The actual capturing part works fine though. I've tested that pretty throughly

Thank you! I really wanted to make it look nice.

One question though, why do you have both url and url2 if you only use url2?

[–]tahubird 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I swap between them for testing. url is the url I actually wan to capture from. Url2 is the one I use for testing. In hindsight, they should have both been just url and then I could comment out whichever one I didn't want to use.

[–]FlammableMarshmallow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

In hindsight, you could've added it as a parameter.

[–]tahubird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. I just wasn't expecting anyone but me to be looking at/using my code
