Making a Solana Airdrop / Twitter raid Telegram bot in nodejs and python
In this video, we dive deep into creating a powerful Telegram bot using Node.js and Python to manage Solana airdrops and Twitter raids! Whether you're a blockchain developer, an airdrop enthusiast, or just curious about automation, this video covers the full setup, including how we designed a Twitter raid feature for user engagement and developed an airdrop system for rewarding users based on their participation.
🚀 What You'll Learn in This Video:
Setting Up the Bot in Node.js:
We build the bot using Node.js and Telegraf to handle all the Telegram functionalities.
Using MongoDB for user and task data persistence.
Creating a structured, dynamic menu system with options for users to register their Solana wallet, check balances, view active airdrops, and more!
Integrating with Twitter:
Using the official Twitter API with OAuth for secure, legitimate access. This allows us to track likes, retweets, and comments authentically, so users can participate in raids without violating Twitter’s TOS.
Alternative Scraping Method: We also integrate a custom Twitter scraper to bypass rate limits or API restrictions, using session cookies for more flexibility when the API reaches its limits. This “cheat” method ensures that our bot continues to function smoothly without waiting for API rate limits to reset.
Solana Blockchain Integration:
Connecting to the Solana blockchain using @solana/web3.js and @solana/spl-token for real-time airdrops.
Secure wallet registration and balance checks for each user’s Solana wallet.
Automated Airdrop: Our bot automates the transfer of tokens to users, based on their participation in Twitter raids.
Avoiding Rate Limits with Smart Rate-Limiting:
Implementing rate-limiting techniques to stay within Twitter's guidelines and prevent bot bans.
Dynamically switching between API requests and the scraper, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
Using Python for Verification:
We set up a Python endpoint to verify Twitter engagement through scraping. This ensures users completed required actions for airdrops before rewards are distributed.
💻 Tech Stack:
Node.js + Telegraf for Telegram bot features
MongoDB for data storage
Solana Web3.js & SPL Token libraries for blockchain interactions
Official Twitter API + Custom Scraper (Python) for flexible engagement tracking
🎯 Final Thoughts: Learn how to leverage the power of both official APIs and custom solutions for efficient, scalable bot creation! This project offers insights into blockchain, automation, and bypassing limitations when needed – all while keeping user experience smooth and effective.
