Instructions for installing and configuring the Twickbot program
Twickbot is a software package designed to automate work (usually using regular browsers), based on pre-written scripts.
Using scripts, various action algorithms are implemented:
- parsers,
- posters
- likes,
- cheaters of behavioral factors,
- and much more.
Twickbot can run scripts in multi-threaded mode and maximally emulates human actions.
To work with the program you need to go through several steps.

Step 3: Getting started with the program
Before the first launch of the program, you must install the program key, which is issued by the administrator.
To get the key, send a private message to the forum administrator https://www.twickbot.com/forum/members/twickbot.1/
Copy the key file to a folder c:\Program Files\TwickBot\key\
When you first start posting to a group, the user must create a list of accounts and a list of messages (posts).
Extract their downloaded archive FB_post_to_group_1.X.X_EN.zip two files:
- accounts.py - file with a list of accounts
- posts_list.py - file with a list of posts for posting.
Open these two files in any text editor.
In the accounts.py file, configuration data for one account is placed between curly braces {....}.
You can record data for many accounts.
For each account, you must fill the fields (*******): 'name', 'login' , 'password' и 'group_urls_list'.
{
'name': '************',
'login': '*************',
'password': '**********',
'group_urls_list': [
'https://www.facebook.com/groups/********/', <= url groups 1
'https://www.facebook.com/groups/********/', <= url groups 2
'https://www.facebook.com/groups/********/', <= url groups 3
],
'proxy_list': [],
'load_cookies_flag': True,
'save_cookies_flag': True,
'extentions_list': ['@canvas-shadow.xpi', ],
},
Example of recording one account:
{
'name': 'Pol Nill',
'login': This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.',
'password': 'Njle94lrpd3l7yh',
'group_urls_list': [
'https://www.facebook.com/groups/slimp.net/',
],
'proxy_list': [],
'load_cookies_flag': True,
'save_cookies_flag': True,
'extentions_list': [This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.', ],
},
Create a list of posts in the posts_list.py file
Messages can be of the following types: just text, individual pictures and pictures with text.
File format: one line - one message.
Message Record Syntax:
- Just text;

If you want a text message to appear on Facebook in a few lines,
then in the text of the message, insert the <br> symbol in the line breaks.
Text_1 <br> Text_2 <br> Text_3
- Just pictures (the path to the picture is given as an absolute path);
files_list = ['d: /000/pic1.jpg', 'd: /000/pic2.jpg' ']
files_list = ['d: /000/pic4.jpg']
- Pictures with text;
files_list = ['d: /000/pic1.jpg', 'd: /000/pic2.jpg', 'd: /000/pic3.jpg'] Text
files_list = ['d: /000/pic4.jpg'] Text_1 <br> Text_2
IMPORTANT!!! The posts_list.py and accounts.py files must be saved in the 'UTF-8 without signature (BOM)' encoding.

In the window that opens, click Run.
Running streams will be displayed in the right pane.
20-30 seconds after the script starts, the facebook page will open in the browser.
The script is considered complete when the display of the running stream disappears in the right pane.
In the process of work, it is possible to pause the flows or complete them ahead of schedule.
To do this, select the threads with a check mark and click the appropriate button.
At the moment, upon completion of the posting, the browser remains open.
In folder c:\Users\ username\TwickBot\Logs\ the script creates a log of its work, in which it logs all its actions in real time.
