I have examined the sample file, created a test account on the website and inspected the website's source code.
Writing a script that will automatically send out these friends requests will be no problem and the friend requests will be sent out within 3 hours of you accepting my bid!
I will read the csv 1,000 names at a time and run the script. Each batch of 1,000 will go through within approximately one hour, which would result in approx. 20 hours for completion.
Please beware two issues that might arise due to the size of your potential friends list:
- There might be a limit for open/unaccepted friend requests per account. If this is the case we would have to create multiple email addresses. In case your plan is to A/B test the different messages with regards to the acceptance rate, this would not be an issue. If you want to use the account for other purposes, we might have to discuss tactics.
- The website might irregularly ask for confirmation that one is NO robot. If this is the case, I would literally have to sit in front of the computer and confirm those prompts. This would require additional time (and budget). I will inform you as soon as I encounter this behavior (if it didn't show up after the first 1,000, it never will).
Glad to discuss options with you!
Daniel
