CoinURL Bot, Mac or Linux

CoinURL Bot, Mac or Linux v[1.0]

So, I was looking around the web for CoinURL bots, but all I found were really shitty ones that get you 1 per day. Well, now here is a simple shell script that will fix that problem. It uses the CoinURL API to make a new link and then opens that link with your default web browser. Theoretically, it only makes about 5.30 USD a day (as of now, 5/12/13), but hey, it's better than 1 click a day!

Usage:
-h - show help message and exit
-u <uuid> - specify unique user id
-l <number of times> - limit the number of times the script will loop (default: 10000)
-b <browser> - browser to open the links in (default: default browser)

Example usage: coinURL -u 529d189542657801002944 -l 10 -b Safari

Requirements: cURL (http://curl.haxx.se)
bash v3.2 or greater (It will probably work with lower versions of bash, but I haven't tested those.)

Copy the Script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
function help_ {
	echo " -h - show help message and exit"
	echo " -u <uuid> - specify unique user id"
	echo " -l <number of times> - limit the number of times the script will loop (default: 10000)"
	echo " -b <browser> - browser to open the links in (default: default browser)"
}
function launch_ {
	if [[ -n $* ]]; then
		while [[ -n $* ]]; do
			if [[ $1 = -u ]]; then
				uuid=$2
				shift 2
			elif [[ $1 = -h ]]; then
				help_
				exit
			elif [[ $1 = -b ]]; then
				browser=$2".app"
				browser_proc=$2
				shift 2
			elif [[ $1 = -l ]]; then
				limit=$2
				shift 2
			fi
		done
	else
		help_
		exit
	fi
	if [[ -z $limit ]]; then
		limit=10000
	fi
	num=0
	randid=$RANDOM
}
function pull_ {
	while true; do
		killall $browser_proc
		url=$(curl -s -S "https://coinurl.com/api.php?uuid="$uuid"&url=https://www.google.com/$randid/$num")
		echo -en "\rNumber of urls generated: $num | Current URL: $url"
		((num++))
		open -g -a $browser "$url"
		sleep 4
		if [[ $num -gt $limit ]]; then
			break
		fi
	done
}
launch_ $* && pull_

If it doesn't seem to be clicking your links, try increasing the sleep time from "sleep 4" to "sleep x", where x is the number of seconds between loops. If your computer is loading the pages really fast, try decreasing the sleep time!

P.S. Please report any issues and I will try to fix them promptly!
