Tinder Scraper for the Desktop Web Version of Tinder

Disclaimer: I wrote this script just for research purposes. Tinder strictly prohibits using automated software for data harvesting, and Facebook strictly prohibits creating dummy accounts for such purposes as well. Use at your own risk.

Intructions:

1. Clone the repo.
2. Create a dummy Facebook account and log into Tinder only once.
3. Rename secret.json.example to secret.json and add your dummy facebook email and password
4. Create an images folder inside the repo directory. Photos will be stored there
5. Set the swiping direction (left/right) and iterations inside index.js (comments inside file)
6. npm install
7. npm run start
