MyAnimeList FriendBot

This is a Python rewrite of Lastmentor/MyAnimeList_FriendBot.

The original code was very simple and led to some issues with usage. This version includes several improvements to enhance functionality and reliability.

Improvements

• Cache: Ensures users are added only once to avoid duplicates.
• Randomized Interval & Retry: Increases the success rate of friend requests.
• Automatic Chromedriver Updates: Ensures chromedriver is always up to date.
