# How to run it on a Linux or a Mac machine?

pip3 install requests

# What do I learn by developing it?
Going through the development process of this software, helped me to practice different Python libraries and GUI application development. I have implemented threading, proxy integration, a web scraping library named requests, a GUI development library named tkinter, and, regular expression to parse and extract the required data using re library to prepare this software. I hope you will like it.

# Maintenance
I am not going to maintain it anymore. I uploaded it as a part of showcasing my projects. Since this is an open-source program, you are open to tweaking it as per your needs.

# CAUTION
PLEASE DO NOT FLOOD THE YAHOO WEBSITE WITH TOO MANY USERNAMES AND REPEATEDLY. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR ACCESS BEING RESTRICTED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
