This software is designed to check for username availability on the Yahoo website so that you can easily find your favorite username without having to type them again and again.
You will be required to install
1. Python 3.x
2. requests module
To install the requests module, after installing Python, execute the below command in your terminal:
pip3 install requests
Then open the terminal in the folder where the script is located and type:
On mac: Python3 yahoo_checker.py
or on Linux: python3 yahoo_checker.py
Going through the development process of this software, helped me to practice different Python libraries and GUI application development. I have implemented threading, proxy integration, a web scraping library named requests, a GUI development library named tkinter, and, regular expression to parse and extract the required data using re library to prepare this software. I hope you will like it.
I am not going to maintain it anymore. I uploaded it as a part of showcasing my projects. Since this is an open-source program, you are open to tweaking it as per your needs.
PLEASE DO NOT FLOOD THE YAHOO WEBSITE WITH TOO MANY USERNAMES AND REPEATEDLY. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR ACCESS BEING RESTRICTED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
