# MyAnimeList FriendBot

This is a Python rewrite of [Lastmentor/MyAnimeList_FriendBot](https://github.com/Lastmentor/MyAnimeList_FriendBot).

The original code was very simple and led to some issues with usage. This version includes several improvements to enhance functionality and reliability.

## Improvements

- **Cache**: Ensures users are added only once to avoid duplicates.

- **Randomized Interval & Retry**: Increases the success rate of friend requests.

- **Automatic Chromedriver Updates**: Ensures chromedriver is always up to date.

## Contributing

Feel free to fork the repository and submit pull requests with any changes or improvements you may have.

## Variables

To run this project, you will need to add the following variables to .env

`MALusername`

`MALpassword`

## Installation

**Clone the repository**:

    

        git clone https://github.com/Beeamo/MyAnimeList-FriendBot.git

## Running the Bot

The code supports several runtime arguments:

- `--headless` to run the browser in headless mode (default is visible mode).

- `-n VALUE` to specify the number of friends to add (default is 20).

- `-a` to disable initial settings check

- `--message` to provide an optional message to post to profiles.

- `--username` to override the `.env` username.

- `--password` to override the `.env` password.

### Example

```sh

python main.py --headless -n 25  -a --message "Hello, let's be friends" --username "example" --password "password"
