HackQ-Trivia is a Python HQ Trivia bot. It receives HQ Trivia questions through their WebSocket connection and answers the questions automatically.

Installation

Requires Python 3.7 or above.

Code and dependencies

$ git clone https://github.com/Exaphis/HackQ-Trivia.git
$ cd HackQ-Trivia
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Bearer token

The easiest way to find your bearer token is to run bearer_finder.py.

Make sure you are in the HackQ-Trivia folder, not hackq_trivia.

$ python3 -m hackq_trivia.bearer_finder

Alternatively, it can be found by sniffing the traffic on your phone. The bearer token is easily found on an emulator, since they are easy to root and most use Android versions without certificate pinning. Popular tools used to obtain bearer tokens are Charles, Fiddler, and Burp Suite.

Paste your bearer token after Bearer in hq_config.conf, all within one line.
