iFollowers

A followers tracking script for Twitter.

This script was made for fun in my spare time.

There are a ton of spammers on Twitter, many of them will follow you for a few days.
With this script you can track them down and block them forever.

Installation

Install required packages:

git clone https://github.com/i5ar/ifollowers --depth 1
find ifollowers -type f -print -exec chmod 775 {} \;
cd ifollowers
pip install -r requirements.txt

Use

Simply run python main.py. It will list and save all your Current followers so next time you are going to run the script it will be able to list:

  • Previous followers;
  • New followers;
  • Unfollowers.

Before to run the script you need to Create New App at Twitter Application Management to get your Keys and Access Tokens:

  • Owner;
  • Consumer Key;
  • Consumer Secret;
  • Access Token;
  • Access Token Secret;

Note

Since Release v0.0.3 iFollowers uses Tweepy package so it does not allow to run the script twice in less than 15 minutes. If you get an error, please try again after 15 minutes.

This script is meant to be used in respect of Twitter Following rules and best practices. I take no responsibility or liability for any damages including damages arising from use or loss of use, data, or profits.

Please, come back to check new and awesome releases! Any contribution or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
