DropBot

Watches Drops for you!

This Project is currently not maintained and will most likely not work!

🤔 What is this Drop Bot all about?

• Makes your drop experience as easy as possible.
• No need to watch the stream in a browser, fully uses gql.
• No need to care about who is online and when.
• Saves your session providing you autologin.
• Can watch every Drop / Campaign available.
• Automatically claims your Drops.
• Switches automatically to other games or drops if drop is claimed/claimable or offline.

Disclaimer - DropBot is not intended for:

• Mining channel points - it's about the drops only.
• Mining anything else besides Twitch drops.
• Unattended operation.
• 100% uptime application, due to the underlying nature of it, expect fatal errors to happen every so often.
• Being hosted on a remote server as a 24/7 bot.
• Being used with more than one managed account.
• Any form of automatic restart when an error happens.
• Using it with more than one managed account.
• Making it possible to mine campaigns that the managed account isn't linked to.
• Anything that increases the site processing load caused by the application.
• Mining campaigns the managed account isn't linked to.
• Being associated in any way with Twitch

📘 Adding Custom Channels

Name

• The Name can be any String like Rainbow Six, Best Ch ever etc...

Url

• The Url is very important, never use the same Url twice, it has to be a valid Channel link and has always to start with https://www..tv/. Example for a Valid Url: https://www..tv/rainbow6tw

How the Channel should be Watched

Watch until the time runs out:

• Watches the channel until the left time reaches 0 then switches to other custom channel.

Watch indefinitely:

• Watches the channel until it goes offline, then switches.

Farm Points

• Pretty simple, should the bot farm Points or not.

Editing already Added Channel's

• You can always edit Channel's which are already added in the CustomChannels.json.
