Example

Strawpoll-Bot.exe -poll 17338883 -options 139529712 -threads 100 -entrance 0 -timeout 30 -clean false

How to obtain poll and options

Poll

The poll ID is simply obtained from the end of the URL of the poll you want to bot.

From https://www.strawpoll.me/17338883 the poll ID would be 17338883.

Options

The options are slightly harder to get: you need to use inspect element. Find the vote you would like to bot, right click on it, then inspect element. From here find the <input> tag associated with the vote you want. Then find the value="139529712" inside the <input> tag. Copy that value and that is the option.

I haven't yet coded in multiple options; I may do it in the future. If you really want it now feel free to add it in yourself then make sure to do a pull request and I will approve it (after checking it of course).

How to install

Binary (easiest)

1. Download the binary obtained from the releases page.
2. Unzip the binary.
3. Open command prompt or terminal and cd to the location you downloaded the binary to.
4. Run a command built from the example and usage above. If you're on Linux, replace Strawpoll-Bot.exe with ./Strawpoll-Bot.

Source (if you have Go installed)

1. Download the source from the latest release from the releases page or download the project.
2. Unzip the file (if zipped).
3. Open command prompt or terminal and cd to the location you downloaded the source to.
4. Run a command built from the example and usage above; replace Strawpoll-Bot.exe with go run main.go.

Proxy list

Clean

If you would like to remove all dead proxies from the file use the -clean true flag. This will output a clean-proxies.json file once completed which you should use to replace the original proxies.json file. Keep in mind this will decrease the speed of running the bot (quite significantly) but will increase the speed by not wasting time on dead links in the future.

Update

If you would like to update the proxy list with your own simply replace the proxies replace the proxies.json file with your own JSON array of strings. These strings must be the proxy in this format: IP:Port, for example: 127.0.0.1:1234.
