Tester Botter sends dank memes to his friends
Inspiration
The Internet is a 'uge place. In the time that I've had with it, I have come to love dank memes. My goal was to share my love of memes with my slowly declining list of friends.
What it does
This program logs in to a Facebook account and sends a list of people dank memes
How I built it
I started by reverse engineering the Facebook messenger API in order to be able to upload files and send messages. I then wrote a scraper for Reddit to get dank memes.
The program starts by scraping subreddits and storing the url's of dank memes in a list. Memes are taken from this list and sent to Facebook in x second intervals.
Towards the end of this project I started to really feel the effect of the dank memes and lack of sleep.
To import the library this code is found in, you use from dank import memes
The subreddits scraped were: youdontsurf dankmemes youdontsurf/top dankmemes/top
Challenges I ran into
A challenge I encountered was figuring out how to use Facebook's secret messenger api to send images to chats. After 3 hours of confusion I finally managed to get really lucky and fix the problem.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm honestly surprised I managed to do this in under 10 hours having only gotten four hours of sleep the previous night.
What I learned
This project taught me to never give up on my dreams.
What's next for Facebook dank meme sender
I hope one day someone will continue my legacy of sending dank memes by hosting this and making the list of people they are sent to longer.
