Twitch Username Checker

dep.js and index.js are two distinct files with different functionalities.

dep.js focuses on request-based operations and relies on the powerful axios library. It excels in making HTTP requests and handling responses effectively. With dep.js, you can easily leverage its capabilities to perform a wide range of tasks. It can be rate limited easily.

On the other hand, index.js is built on the puppeteer framework. Unlike dep.js, it utilizes a headless browser to interact with web pages. This provides flexibility in scraping and automating web-related actions. Furthermore, index.js operates independently and is not subject to rate limitations.

The Twitch Username Checker is a Node.js application that allows you to check the availability of Twitch usernames. It utilises the Puppeteer library to automate the process of visiting Twitch profiles and checking for the "Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable." message.

Prerequisites

Before running the application, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/0vm/twitch-username-checker.git

3. Navigate to the project directory:

cd twitch-username-checker

4. Install the dependencies:

npm install Puppeteer

5. Request Based Version Dependencies

npm install axios

Usage

1. Open the index.js file and modify the desired range of usernames to generate. By default, it generates all combinations of four-letter usernames from 'aaaa' to 'zzzz'. You can adjust this range according to your needs.

2. Run the application:

node index.js

or

node dep.js

3. The application will start checking the availability of Twitch usernames. It will create a file named availableUsernames.txt and append any available usernames to it.

Error Handling

The application includes error handling mechanisms to prevent crashes when encountering errors during the checking process. Any errors that occur will be logged to the console, allowing the application to continue checking the remaining usernames.

Customisation

You can customise the application by modifying the following parameters:

• parallelBrowsingCount: Specifies the number of parallel browser instances to run. Adjust this value based on your machine's capabilities and performance requirements.

• User Agent: The application sets a custom User Agent string to mimic Firefox. If needed, you can modify the User Agent in the checkUsername function.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

This application utilises significant CPU and RAM resources due to the nature of the operations it performs. Please consider the following before running the application:

• Running this application may cause high CPU and RAM usage on your machine, especially when scanning multiple URLs concurrently.
• It is recommended to run this application on a device with sufficient resources or allocate dedicated resources to avoid impacting the performance of other applications running concurrently.
• We advise running this application on a remote desktop or an unused device to minimise disruptions and ensure optimal performance.
• Adjust the parallelBrowsingCount variable in the checkUsernames function to control the number of concurrent browser tabs opened by Puppeteer. Higher values may increase resource usage.

Please proceed with caution and ensure that your system can handle the resource demands of this application before running it.
