Microsoft Rewards (Bing Rewards) Bot - Completes searches and quizzes , written in Python! 🙌

This program will automatically complete search requests and quizzes on Microsoft Rewards! Search terms are the daily top searches retrieved using Google Trends' api. This bot runs selenium in headless mode for deployment on VPS and for increased performance on local machines. The bot also uses selenium's user agent options to fulfill points for all three platforms (pc, edge browser, mobile). 100% free to use and open source. Code critique/feedback and contributions welcome!

1. Clone and navigate to repo

2. Modify ms_rewards_login_dict.json with your account names and passwords, remove .example from filename.

3. Enter into cmd/terminal/shell: pip install -r requirements.txt

   • This installs dependencies (selenium)

4. Enter into cmd/terminal/shell: python ms_rewards.py --headless --mobile --pc --quiz

   • enter -h or --help for more instructions
     • --headless is for headless mode
     • --mobile is for mobile search
     • --pc is for pc search
     • --quiz is for quiz search
   • Script by will execute mobile, pc, edge, searches, and complete quizzes for all accounts (can change this setting in the .py file)
   • Script by default will run headlessly (can change this setting in the .py file)
   • Run time for one account is under 5 minutes, for 100% daily completion
   • If python environment variable is not set, enter /path/to/python/executable ms_rewards.py

5. For completing points from email links:

   • Modify email_links.txt file with email links.

     • Copy and paste links without surrounding quotes, each on individual line, like such:

         httplink1
         httplink2
         httplink3
       

   • Enter cmd/terminal/shell argument python ms_rewards.py --email

   • Script will be manual, requires key press to continue, as the quizzes are not yet standardized.

6. Crontab (Optional for automated script daily on linux)

   • Enter in terminal: crontab -e
   • Enter in terminal: 0 12 * * * /path/to/python /path/to/ms_rewards.py --headless --mobile --pc --quiz
     • Can change the time from 12am server time to whenever the MS daily searches reset (~12am PST)
   • Change the paths to the json in the .py file to appropriate path

General Instructions for installing Chromedriver (Windows, Linux, OS X)

1. download chromedriver here
2. extract to python parent directory e.g. 'C:\Python37-22'
3. ensure the python directory is in path (environment variables for windows users)

Alternatively,
if on OS X:

1. brew install chromedriver

if on Linux:

1. Download chromedriver from link above.
2. Download and extract to python directory (e.g. to /usr/local/bin)
3. Enable permissions:
   sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
4. Comment out Windows/MacOSx chromedriver path on line 138, uncomment line 141 for Linux support.

• Argparse for options:
  • logging
  • custom user agents
• Rewrite script into class-based code or Organize monolithic code into different py files for maintainability
• os.environ variables for multiple logins (current account names and passwords are too long)
