Good Day to you all,
I was wondering how do apps and websites verify your twitter or facebook account ?
You may have come across blogs where when you want to coment, the blog asks you to comment with your facebook or twitter account. They give you 2 fields to fill-in where one asks for your username and the other asks for your password.
I am guessing, when you feed your username and password the blog commenting section uses your login details to login to your account and if successful then your account is verified and you're able to make the comment. Else no.
I have also seen some forums do this so you don't have to register to the forum to make posts.
My question is, doesn't facebook, twitter etc. terms & conditions forbid you to reveal your passwords to others ? When we submit our passwords to these blogs and forums are we not revealing our passwords to them for them to login with our passwords to verify our accounts? Are we not allowing third parties to use our login details for account verifications ?
Is it illegal on the blogs and forums parts to ask us for our usernames and passwords even if they don't store our account credentials onto their servers ?
I'm asking all these questions because I'm building a bot that needs it's users to veriy their id. The blogs and forums came to my mind how they do it. And so thinking of getting the bot to do the same. The bot would prompt for the users facebook/twitter usernames & passowrds and then login to their accounts. If logging in is successful then the next step the bot would take from within their accounts is it will click over to their profile page and grab the url of their profile to note as their id. That way, it would identify which user (profile holder) is using the bot. That's all it would do. Now, would this be illegal in any way ? I mean, the bot using their submitted account logging details to login to their accounts and click over to their profile pages to grab their profile url for identifying purpose.
Any suggestions and feedbacks are welcome.
PS - When you sell your bot to a customer, if you program it to work only for a certain facebook/twitter profile holder then whoever uses the bot you can get your bot to force the user to likewise login to their facebook/twitter account using their account credentials. You can program the bot to click over to the profile page and check if it's the right profile. If it is, then the bot would proceed. Else no.
If the right person shares his facebook/twitter password with his mates and they use pirate copies of your bots then I'm afraid they'd be able to use your bot. But who in their right mind would share their facebook/twitter passwords with their mates ?

It's been 3hrs now and I've had no luck starting-up my Ubot. Keep getting error that Ubot failed to connect to the license server.
Tried opening a ticket and I get message the website is offline.
Is anybody here experiencing the same problem ?
Seems like this forum is not out yet.

What is new in UbotLocker ? Where's the list of latest features ?

Hello Programmers,
How are you ? I am fine. Hope your bot ventures are going fine.
Just need a little help on extracting the keywords, with REGEX unless an easy alternative is available, from the following searchengine result pages (SERPs).
In the 3 following examples, the keyword is "ubot" (one word):
https://www.google.com/#q=ubot
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the following 3 examples, the keyword is "ubot studio" (two words):
https://www.google.com/#q=ubot+studio
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems like Ubot Forum is truncating the links. Therefore, best to click the links to view the urls.
I appreciate any response.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Is This A Good Way To Prevent Pirate Copies Of Your Bots ?

A year or two back I had come across another way to verify a user's facebook/twitter account. And that is I got the bot not to prompt for their usernames or passwords but got the bot to ask for the user to login to his twitter/facebook account and click the PLAY button on the bot from there. As soon as the PLAY button is clicked, the bot clicks over to the profile page link and checks if it's the right profile. If it is, then it proceeds. Else no. That way, the bot never prompts for the users' usernames or passwords and the users feel safe to use the bot.
What do you all think about this idea ? I haven't got anyone else to check how the bot works on their end. It works on my end.
