## Examples

### Automating Twitter (X) Actions

Here's how to automate actions on Twitter (X) using the Chrome browser:

```python
from xagent import XAgent

driver_path = "/Users/jacobsomer/Documents/side_prod/salesBook/chromedriver-mac-arm64/chromedriver"
profile_path = "/Users/jacobsomer/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/chromeProfile"
x_username = "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME"
x_password = "YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD"

agent = XAgent(
    driver_path=driver_path,
    profile_path=profile_path,
    x_username=x_username,
    x_password=x_password,
)

try:
    # Like posts on your feed for 5 minutes
    agent.like_x_posts(duration=300)
    
    # Follow specific users
    agent.follow_x_users(["https://x.com/jacob_somer_"], duration=300)
finally:
    agent.close()
```

### Using Microsoft Edge Browser

To automate actions using the Edge browser, modify the driver and profile paths:

```python
from xagent.agent import XAgent

edge_driver_path = "/Users/jacobsomer/Documents/side_prod/salesBook/edgedriver_mac64_m1 (1)/msedgedriver"
edge_profile_path = "/Users/jacobsomer/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge/User Data"

agent = XAgent(
    driver_path=edge_driver_path, 
    profile_path=edge_profile_path, 
    browser="edge"
)

try:
    # Like posts on your feed for 5 minutes
    agent.like_x_posts(duration=300)
    
    # Follow specific users
    agent.follow_x_users(["https://x.com/jacob_somer_"], duration=300)
finally:
    agent.close()
```
