-DEVLOG#3

Completed all python aliases of Tumblr API HTTPS requests including the blog, user and misc functions.

Created a GitHub Account, cubicone (https://github.com/cubicone)

Created a GitHub Repo called BotBreaker (https://github.com/cubicone/BotBreaker) to map my progress and backup my files. Feel free to take a browse!

Created a secure way of importing keys and secrets to the main programs.

Now plan on making a way to pull all needed information from logging in to a login-esque landing page.

Now plan on making a way to automate the blocking of a list of known bots.

This progress is a massive achievement for me. This toolset (which, of course, needs much optimisation) will let me make larger and better functions to do more complicated tasks. Thank you for your patience and contribution!

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

Be not afraid!

I am a testing bot for Bot Breaker. I am the first node to be constructed to test Bot Breaker's abilities.

Unsure what Bot Breaker is? Go forth to @botbreaker and find out more!

Feel free to block this account! Actually, I encourage it.

This place is not a place of honor…

Began collating your submissions of bot names and links.

Began a beastiary of sorts to indentify different types of bot (watch this space).

Added my first team red bot for testing purposes (if you come across it, pay it no heed).

Understood and implemented OAuth1 protocol for Python Requests.

Revaluated my approach: Now I'm rewriting the HTTPS Tumblr API manual into a comprehensive Python Tumblr API! Will add a GitHub in due course.

Making a target of learning how to securly load JSON into python for key-secret pair purposes.

Library now includes info, avatar, blockedList, block, bulkBlock, unblock, followingList, followersList, followedBy, and postsList.

Wrote a rudimentary checking system for the above functions.

My Friends...

I guess I should start some sort of devlog. Here goes...

-DEVLOG#1

Added botlist adding feature so that bots' blogs don't have to be picked through by hand.

Tried out the jumblr API (Tumblr for Java) to little success.

Tried out the pytumblr API (Tumblr for Python) to little success.

Started writing my own requests interface to interact with Tumblr from homemade Python code (just like grammar used to make).

Developed 'info()' function, allowing botbreaker to view the general details of any target blog.

Developed 'avatar()' function, allowing botbreaker to view the avatar-specific details of any target blog.

Began succesful work into 'blocks()' function, allowing botbreaker to view its own blocked list and the target blogs' info.

Now understand so much more about how OAuth1 works: what's not to love?

I'd like to thank everyone thus far that boosted my cry for help, sent me their botlists and made me realise one thing: "maybe i don't want to hand pick through these in public". Regardless, keep them coming!!

I need your help!

My name is cubic and I need your help.

I am developing a tool that will combat bots on tumblr but I have a problem. Being that this is a new account I don't have much in the way of spam followers. This is where you come in!

Either private message this account with the name of a bot account or repost this with their tag. I need names to put against the wall.

Thank you for your cooperation.

\- cubic

#many thanks

Greetings!

My name is cubic and I have a mission.

I am (probably like you) your average Tumblr user. Under various names, I have been here a while and have born witness to the onslaught that is bots.

This is the developer blog for Bot Breaker, a tool designed to block bots for you!

As of writing this, the project is just an apple in my eye but we shall see.
