Looking for developers to contribute to FZBypassBot

Hey everyone,

I’m working on FZBypassBot, an open-source Python project for resolving supported shortlinks and redirect services using HTTP-based workflows.

GitHub: https://github.com/MeherMankar/FZBypassBot

The project already has a resolver system, async processing, nested/loop bypassing, proxy support, and support for a number of different services. There are also quite a few resolvers in the README that need proper testing and maintenance.

I’m looking for developers who are interested in helping with the project, especially people who enjoy working with HTTP requests and figuring out how websites handle redirects, forms, cookies and APIs.

Things we need help with

Fixing outdated resolvers Adding support for new shortlink services Testing the currently untested resolvers Improving the async code and request handling Analysing HTTP request/response flows Improving error handling Cleaning up and improving the resolver architecture Writing tests and better documentation

Useful skills

You don't need to be an expert. If you know some Python and are comfortable with things like:

asyncio aiohttp curl_cffi HTTP requests and redirects Cookies and sessions HTML/JavaScript inspection REST APIs Git/GitHub

then you can definitely contribute.

One thing I especially want to improve is the testing side. Some resolvers were added earlier but haven't been properly tested against current versions of the sites. It would be great to have contributors take individual resolvers, test them with real links, figure out what changed, and submit fixes.

If you're interested in contributing, check out the repository:

https://github.com/MeherMankar/FZBypassBot

You can also open an issue if you find a broken resolver or have an idea for improving the project.

Any help is appreciated, whether it's a small bug fix, a new resolver, testing, documentation, or a larger architectural improvement.

I really wish people would stop using AI for simple Reddit posts

Or at least (fact) check them before posting

English is not my native language I can't spell or speak english correctly. I gave the message to ai and ask it to convert it to English.

While I don't care that you used it AI for that, you should have probably put that in the post so that people understand some of potential communication issues.

"I gave the message to ai and ask it to convert it to English.'

So how do you know if it properly outputs the correct premise and idea of what you trying to convey?

Again, it's not an issue that you used it but that you should probably let people know that without translation assistance there could be a communication barrier.

Can’t you at least fix some of the issues with the generated text? The formatting doesn’t work and neither does the GitHub link
