I have an automated daily task with RSelenium in the cloud. This task consists of logging (required) into www.twitter.com and make a webflow navigation. Instead, Twitter detects this logging as suspicious activity.

How could I avoid it? My IP is static. I think one way to solve it would be using the webdriver.remote.sessionid so that Twitter does not consider me as a new user in each task iteration. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

    rather than circumventing, you could also consider abiding by the terms of service instead of abusing it. – Corey Goldberg Feb 06 '19 at 17:47

    It is easy to detect Selenium automation. You can imagine that Twitter has to cope with a lot of unwanted bots. If you want to use an automated daily task, Twitter provides an api to do that: https://developer.twitter.com/. – Jens Dibbern Feb 06 '19 at 18:15

    I just need to download the statistics file from my account. So I can not use the Twitter API. – Mario M. Feb 07 '19 at 06:28
