I'm finding it harder and harder to get as motivated as I used to when working on my bots. There are all sorts of reasons I'm not as productive (kids, day job, family, etc.), but I realize they are all just excuses. So, how do you stay motivated and productive? What's your day look like? Do you exercise in the mornings? Only check emails once per day? (I started checking emails only once per day and it was a huge bump in my productivity, this one is a tip from the master Tim Ferris himself). What other things help you to be productive?

I'm a rapper.

Haha! Why would anyone do this when they can just build their own bots and make much more?

Yeah, I was gonna say it sounds like the serialize/deserialize cookies function you already have. No worries, if you're going to code it, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Would be awesome if you're able to code a solution for this. We are still waiting on Seth's "big update" to ubot that was announced like over six months ago, so I'm not gonna hold my breath for them to make updates to their API.

Aymen, do any of the updates address the cookie issue on certain sites like twitter? I don't think they do, just wanted to double check.

Cool, thanks. I'm not familiar with soap requests. How does this work with your plugin? What do I need to enter under "Action"? Do I also need to use $API or can I use this instead of soap request? Here is what I tried and it resulted in nothing (no error, just nothing on the output): <mailbox-item> <recipients> <recipient> <person path=\"/people/email=email@domain.com\"> <first-name>John</first-name> <last-name>Doe</last-name> </person> </recipient> </recipients> <subject>In

Wow, that sounds awesome! Another thing I wasn't sure about, but haven't even attempted yet, is on some of the linkedin POST stuff it tells you to send in xml format??? How do we do this? Is it possible with the http post plugin? This is what I'm talking about: http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/messaging-between-connections-api Example Messaging XML POST BodyIn this example, we are sending a message to the sender as well as a single connection. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><mailbox-item> <recipients> <recipient> <person path='/people/~'/>

Okay, I'm trying to get familiar with the Linkedin API and I can't seem to get anything working. It's frustrating because I had a few api functions working, but now nothing is working. I'm able to authenticate and get my access token no problem: http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/authentication After that, my access token doesn't seem to work with anything. Here is a sample access token I generated: AQXPpSvnNU7Q7CsTWBoBznvIvho2ElkohT7KObnOB3LDC63J8TKWWBFnslX96Rl6kFSxDrhTntIxCq-fCnAmW6puUmWp84gZE7ycoG0o_m3FyNBD3qB95oKHqpqWMbz0corcoVfv1-HGmCfKN9-5KsKYwMTkZC3oVXNNYtdFAT6moH-ZYpA Whene

NINJA EDIT PART 2: nevermind again......

EDIT: Nevermind, got it now...

The download link is emailed to you whenever there's an update.

This doesn't exist (unless there's something I'm not aware of). This is what I do: I insert a comment node and make the comment something like "====UI COMMANDS HERE====" (all caps with some symbol like +, = or - repeated several times) so it stands out and then I put all the ui elements under that.

or use $date and use regex to extract the time

Or just add "regex" as one of the drop down options so we can use our own regex if we want. I like that you already have some regex programmed in for emails, phone numbers, etc., but it would be nice to have the flexibility to do our own regex in addition to this. EDIT: Quick question and rather than make a new post, thought I would just add it here: how do I set the proxy credentials for the http post command? It keeps giving me an error that proxy authentication is required. Here's what I have: EDIT2: Nevermind on the proxy user and pw issue. I decided to read through all the pages o

Awesome update, man. Just a quick question since I'm having trouble hearing the audio on the new videos regarding the new cookies containers. I understand that we drag the http requests all into the http container and that's how it stores the cookies for that specific thread, but what number should we use for the new cookies containers if we are running multithreading with TJ's multithreading tutorial technique? Would it just be the number of open threads, or would we include that on the loop and just enter "1" so it opens a new cookie container every time it opens a new thread? Or what???

Did you try that through UBS or just a regular browser? It looks like the same as http://www.linkedin.com/people/export-settings You first click export, THEN enter captcha, then it downloads.

Good idea. I didn't even think of going through their api, but my bot violates their terms of service and I have to submit it for approval so won't this raise a red flag?

Good. Yeah, you won't find anyone to do this for you (and do a good job) for less than $250, so it's better to just buy it and do it yourself. But be warned: twitter is a beast. They constantly change things and if you start out trying to automate twitter as your first bot, then you will get frustrated and might end up just giving up. ubot is lots of fun, tho, enjoy....

Really? No one has tried to do this in linkedin? I guess it really is an untapped market then. I better get busy

How can I export my contacts on linkedin through UBS. I used to have this working, but it looks like Linkedin changed something. http://www.linkedin.com/people/export-settings (you need to be logged in to your linkedin account) Change file doesn't work. You have to click the button, then break the captcha, then only your download starts, but I'm not sure how to tell it where to save the file. Thanks.

Okay, so my bot I'm working on just hit 2400 lines of code and all of a sudden none of my custom commands show when I search. They still show in my toolbox, but they're useless because they won't run when I click my button that's supposed to run them. I even copied and pasted each node into a brand new bot and they all work until I start to get to the 2400 line mark. I thought maybe it was something with my code in one of my define commands, but I tried deleting different define commands form the bot and they all started working again (even removing a simple command that logs into email ser

Does X4 work with recaptchas? I have CS, but haven't downloaded x4 yet.

Thanks, I will try this.

and I'm stuck.... I guess I don't really understand how the 'query with results' works. If it's putting data into a table, then what's the query I would use to return two values into one row on the table? Here's what I need to do: I have a table with over 16k rows. I need to loop through each row and if a row DOES NOT have certain values, then it does the action I want. I'm not really sure how to word this, so here's an example: Name | State | Email Eric | California | eric@gmail.com Johnny Depp | Oregon | dsflkjl@yahoo.com Marry | New York | marry@hotmail.com If a
