As more and more proxy provider charge per used bandwith (GB) it would be an great addition if we can also watch the traffic per query and in total from same source (e.g. an website queries the same tracker 5 times and it uses 20kB per call...). So we can estimate on how much bandwith we can...
Hi Yann, just checked the code in the latest version (7.1.2.1) of PM and ZP again. In both it says e.g. 145 fonts at start and 139 at finish with FF engine but with chrome it stays at 130 after code completion every time. So it seems to work in FF but not in Chrome.
Yes, I know Kameleo as a quite sophisticated piece of software for generating and emulating fingerprints and related traces and even famous "anti-fraud"-systems can't track it down. But as you said it lacks of automation possibilities and the pricing is just shameless.
Maybe an approach for us...
@Yann
Ah you already found the tool (Fingerprint Detector/Switcher). I was just writing you a message with the link... The downside of the tool is that it can only be used together with Browser Automation Studio and not as a standalone tool, afaik...
Added the 2 C# snippets to some of my projects and it works great. A lot less errors because of HTML element not found and webpage not or just partially loaded! Thank you!
@Yann Thank you for sharing your experience and for your appreciated help. The approach with caching some of the elements of a site first without proxy and then use the cached elements again and also to create a own webpage to "feed" the browser beforehand is great. I would never have thought of...
Hi there,
As I'm more and more using proxies that are billed per Gigabyte I'm wondering what is the best approach to achieve minimal traffic consumption in a Zenno-Project?
I assume the least traffic is needed by a bot based on pure HTTP-Requests but that requires a lot of technical knowledge...
Not that I know of. Sometimes it works, and I can simply add a new C# step and enter the code therein at other times not. But I noticed that a workaround (apart from re-starting PM) is to create a new project (e.g. Ctrl+N) and add a new C#. This way I can enter the code without problems and then...
Too bad if there would really no longer updates to the Firefox engine (Browser) in ZP, as some things are not working as expected in Chrome engine. I saw a FF modification called "Waterfox". Maybe this basis could be used on Zenno to update the FF engine? Waterfox
I work with nested projects and have to change the emulation level from one project to another and backwards... I already found the C# "instance.EmulationLevel = "SuperEmulation";" for setting the emulation level in general, but how can I just enable/disble "Full mouse emulation" from code (as...
Cookies/Cache/??? not cleaned after project restart in PM
I currently face the issue while debugging a project in PM, that after I have created an account and the project has finished, I restart it with F5 for a new run I'm suddenly logged in at the website I'm automating!? So I assume there...
Can't enter text into C# step
Don't know if it's a v7 specific bug, but I often can't enter any text (I can't even make any input) to a newly added C# cube in PM. When I close the project and re-open it mostly of the time it works after that and I can add my code to the C# step. Can you check...
Another thing I faced that should be considered when switching from FF engine to Chrome is that the already generated profiles with one browser (collected cookies, cache, IndexedDB...) are not really compatible with the other one.
Yes, experienced the same problem too when using Chrome engine instead of Firefox. I have to set up the concerning step again in the new project with Chrome, either by re-recording or simply manually set the attributes for identifying the button, element...
Also faced some issues with "Check...
Just installed Kaspersky AV and when I open the internet banking protection component it shows me a list of supported browsers where Chrome has the logo of ZennoPoster. Have I missed something? :D
Unfortunately residential proxies are mostly not the fastest out there :(
Okay, I will extend the loading timeout and see if that fixes some issues. Thanks.
Thank you Vlad for the hint regarding the traffic monitor. I will have a look. Are there any other "non directly Zenno related" tools that volunteer to start and get an better understanding for developing HTTP-request bots?
Hello
I'm working with ZP for quite a while now and I'm more and more wondering if it makes sense to convert some of my existing bots or also create new ones with HTTP-Requests only.
As speed and stability looks outstanding comparded to the standard projects created with cubes and some C# code...
I'm wondering what are the best settings in ZP/PM when using slow (backconnect residential) proxies. I mean e.g. the optimal settings under "Settings - Instance - Timeouts for loading/preparing instance, executing command, initializing obejects..." and also other relevant settings in the project...
Yes, it works. I'm also able to set additional parameter in the proxystring like "username-country-US-city-Phoenix....:[email protected]:100256" in PM and it works fine. Also if I run the project with that proxystring in ZP it works well.
Strange, as I'm using latest version of ZP's (v7.1.2.1) builtin proxychecker. When I load a txt.-file as source with hostnames it shows me a yellow exclamation mark in ZP's proxy checker. When I replace in the same txt-file the hostnames with the appropriate IPs it works instantly.
But I can...
@VladZen Are there any news in the meantime on how/when we can use hostname (e.g. rotating.gateway.proxyprovider.com) in ZP's Proxychecker? Currently it only works with IP! But it's often needed to enter a hostname. especially with backconnect proxy providers.
Thanks.
For me it's more logic if a button can only be clicked if the mouse is over to ENable mouse-emulation ;)
But I tried it and now it works with "Full mouse-emu" disabled and "Input emu" set to the 3rd level (w/o Neuronal N. bypass).
Thank you!
I use two projects (1. Account-Creator, 2. Account Forwarder). The 1. project saves the profile at the end including the most important variables (Save profile-checked Save variables and therein checked the variable-names) for further use.
When I load that account's profiles in the 2. project...
Really DISabling? Okay, I will try :)
Currently added a "Search by picture"-click. It seems to work most of the time. But I read that the "Search by picture"-feature is not recommended to use?
@VladZen Same problem here with the login button on gmx.net
Worked well with ZP for a long time but now it seems they have changed something and it only works correctly if I manually click on it in PM (while debugging the project). If I use (the formerly used) "standard" click it redirects to...
I also figured out that the code above doesn't change the font fingerprint at all when using the chrome engine! No matter if an older profile is loaded or not!
Any news on this issues?
Thanks for the hint. Also the Windows Scheduler works quite well with random and +/- delayed schedules. Use it for some projects (it starts the Zenno created bat-file at the give times) runs fine.
Yes, I think the "getting cookie from instance "-error occurs when saving profile. Any recommendation to fix this?
I uploaded an error report yesterday and sent you the link in ticket.
Just installed the latest version from today (7.1.2.0) and now frequently get the error "Error detected when getting cookie from instance" directly after the error "Error accessing instance.GetTabByAddress"--> see attached screenshot.
Never got the cookie-error before. Also the "Error accessing...
@VladZen any news on this issue? I also tried the code above (that generally works with FF52x64 engine) with the latest Chrome engine (7.1.1.0) and it says the same amount of fonts when starting the C# code and after completion. So it seems that this C# code only works with FF engine and not Chrome?
Same here, Bought ZennoDroid for one year and never got it to work.
I think a free at leat 6 months of updates, when the new (working) version is released, is adequate.
Yes, if you have subscription for updates you can also use V7. You can even install V5 and V7 in parallel.
I'm using V7 since the beginning and it looks quite stable now, so I think it's not too long when V7 is officialle released as stable.
Okay, thank you. And what is the recommended way: Set dns-over-proxy via arguments field or via .config-files in Zenno programm directory or at both locations?
"New setting Dns-over-proxy in Chrome browser config files (base_cr.exe.config and pminstance.exe.config in program directory). This option allows to avoid DNS leak via proxy and works as for http, as for socks proxies. "
Why isn't this activated by default?
Okay and what should I add to "dns-over-proxy - dns requests via proxy " in the "value"? "T/true", "F/false" or "1","0". Can't see that on you second link.
DNS over Proxy? So the C#-code in a cube "instance.SetBrowserPreference("network.proxy.socks_remote_dns", true);" I use with FF52x64 engine is not working using Chrome-egine?
