## Auto Poke Back (Facebook web scraper)
A simple web scraper made using [PuppeteerJS](https://pptr.dev) and NodeJS that automates pressing the "Poke Back" button whenever a facebook friend/user pokes you.
### Setup
First, run:
```bash
npm install
```
Then, run:
```bash
npx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome-headless-shell@latest
```
After that, open and edit the .env file and replace the keys with their respective values, however, the `USER_AGENT` key's value is optional and may be left as-is.
```bash
# Your facebook email address
[email protected]
# Your facebook password
FB_PASS=yourpassword123
# Browser user agent (optional)
USER_AGENT='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/123.0.2420.81'
```
Once all are done, you may then run:
```bash
node index.js
```
**NOTE:** If you encounter a checkpoint, just open your facebook account in your another device and check your notification for a login approval request. Click it and just approve your login then wait for a few seconds and this tool will detect the approval. However, facebook's login checkpoint may also mean that your account has been marked as spam or temporarily disabled by facebook.
### Preview
### Possible Improvements
- [ ] Login cookie (to avoid relogging in and going through the login checkpoint everytime)
- [x] Incorrect email/password detection
- [x] 2-Step Verification detection
- [x] Manual logging in when .env file is not present
- [x] Better error handling (like timeouts, unhandled exceptions, etc.)
