Facebook O-Auth process has probably changed by now. But if it hasn't, please see instructions sections for updated steps for getting Tinder authentication token.

Tinder Crawler

Node.js app that uses the private Tinder API to fake authentication, spoof app location, and then crawl/download all profiles in the vicinity.

Instructions

Get your Facebook ID from Facebook

• Put it into the authentication script before starting the application

Get your Facebook ID

• Visit https://www.facebook.com/v2.6/dialog/oauth?redirect_uri=fb464891386855067%3A%2F%2Fauthorize%2F&display=touch&state=%7B%22challenge%22%3A%22IUUkEUqIGud332lfu%252BMJhxL4Wlc%253D%22%2C%220_auth_logger_id%22%3A%2230F06532-A1B9-4B10-BB28-B29956C71AB1%22%2C%22com.facebook.sdk_client_state%22%3Atrue%2C%223_method%22%3A%22sfvc_auth%22%7D&scope=user_birthday%2Cuser_photos%2Cuser_education_history%2Cemail%2Cuser_relationship_details%2Cuser_friends%2Cuser_work_history%2Cuser_likes&response_type=token%2Csigned_request&default_audience=friends&return_scopes=true&auth_type=rerequest&client_id=464891386855067&ret=login&sdk=ios&logger_id=30F06532-A1B9-4B10-BB28-B29956C71AB1&ext=1470840777&hash=AeZqkIcf-NEW6vBd
• View your network requests (on chrome open developer tools and click on the network tab)
• Click the ok button on the Facebook pop-up window.
• In your network request history, there should be a new request called confirm?dpr=1
• View the body of the response. Copy the text between access_token= and &expires_in=4011.
• You'll need that for authentication

Figure out the coordinates of where you'd like to strike

• Pos/neg decimal coordinates rounded to the nearest integer
• You will need it when you are prompted by the application

Finding specific position

Stick the data into a triangulation algorithim and you can get the specific location of any user that has been crawled upon.

Is this legal?

I think so.

Sample data

Sample data that should be returned are included in this repo.
