 Interacting with the web works well and I see people doing it SOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly shittily.  I wanted the community to come together to build a reference script to show how one would optimize web efforts, as eventhough mine is complete it certainly is not UDF quality.

This example is called "Timebomb" - It deletes your tweets (or any social media post) based on a timer value that you set, it may or may not do anything else at all.

This will be considered complete on 9/30.  I will start stepping through the pieces in about a week, even if its just me playing with myself.

The best submission will always be available here:

Week of 9/5

FIRST OBJECTIVE:  Connect and Authenticate

Week of 9/5

FIRST OBJECTIVE:  Connect and Authenticate

I dont care which service we use, if enough people have it / or no one is opposed i would vote Twitter.  I also, dont care if it becomes multiple examples for multiple services, the objective will be connection routines that are effective and optimal.

@iamtheky as it seems (unless I am reading this incorrectly) that you are working toward a goal rather than posting a completed example, and it further appears you're looking for community input, would this thread not be better suited to the AutoIt Technical Discussion>>AutoIt Projects and Collaboration forum?

I have an example, I am just sitting on it and slow leaking it starting with my connection string tonight :)   Since the new IPB  layout everybody browses by activity stream anyway so I will have no ill will for whichever location you wish to stick this.

My thought was merely that you will get more eyes on it from people looking to jump in on a collaboration project, than in Examples.

I, personally don't browse Projects and Collaboration much, so it was good for me to find it in Example Scripts. I'll adjust my daily routine here on forward.
Are we gonna have/develop/create a server side too ? OAuth type of thing ? I need to get something along those lines for me.
Twitter , facebook , etc. uses TLS as part of its API.
On OAuth1.0a SSL is not required* but in OAuth2, SSL is relied on for its implementation. 
*https://oauth.net/core/1.0a/ 

I don't know, bah, just sharing.

I hadnt thought.  I was going rudimentary.  As soon as I thought I had something with tweetdeck they effed around again.  I just downloaded HootSuite and it seems to be playing nicely.  I dont think I ever had any luck with TwitterAPI i would like to see a native one.

Quick question: Whats mean: "shittily"

Long question:
As I sometimes still do not understand some of the more complex speech (sometimes guessing), I would like to ask a few questions to understand you more clear.
So, Please explain.

Do you want to create a larger bot as an example ?
Would you like to create it together with other members of this forum so that this example was "exemplary" written, using the best practices and methods, to give other users a good coding practices BIG Working Example ?

What technology would you like to choose, I would prefer to automate InternetExplorer, but it is also possible to use winhttp, REST API, or DedicatedWebSiteAPI, may also be other - as far as anyone knows - because I do not know.
