Facebook changes the markup of it’s pages regularly, so the script might break from time to time. Please open an issue if something doesn’t work and I’ll take a look at it. Pull requests are welcome as well.
TODO:
- Make script check for followers if friend list isn’t public.
- Add more error handling.
- Add proxy rotation.
