Google Form Spamming

Guide to automating Google form submissions.

Automated Setup

The automated.py script scrapes forms and automates the setup/submission process for you.

If this doesn't work try the manual method.

(Requires Python 3.10 as well as BeautifulSoup and Requests)

Manual Setup Method

---

1. Fill out the form.

---

2. Select CTRL + SHIFT + I to open devtools

This is the same place you'd go to for Inspect Element. Locate and select the Network panel.

---

3. Submit the form.

You should see several entries appear in the Network panel. Select the one that says formResponse. This should open up a new menu on the side.

On Chrome, this might look a little bit different:

---

4. In the side menu, copy the url under the Headers tab

This should be the first thing you see after opening the formResponse entry.

On Chrome:

---

5. Under the Request/Payload tab, copy the entries that correspond to your form submission.

On Firefox the tab is called "request", while on chrome it's called "payload."

---

6. Fill this information into your script.

URL is the url copied from the headers tab

DATA is a dictionary of the payload/request info.

You can change the values to whatever you want as long as the form permits it.

Python example:

import requests

URL = 'https://docs.google.com/forms/....../formResponse'
DATA = {
    'entry.1251875408':'Answer 1', # Answer for Question 1
    'entry.1304624064':'python text entry' # Answer for Question 2
}

res = requests.post(URL, DATA)
print(res.status_code, res.reason)

NodeJS example using the the Request library:

const request = require('request');

const URL = 'https://docs.google.com/forms/....../formResponse';
const DATA = {
    'entry.1251875408':'Answer 1', // Answer for Question 1
    'entry.1304624064':'javascript text entry' // Answer for Question 2
}

request({
    url:URL,
    method:'POST',
    form:DATA,
}, function (error, res) {
    if (error) console.error(error)
    else console.log(res.statusCode, res.statusMessage)
})

---

7. Run

Status Code Examples

• 200 Submission went through. Great success!
• 400 Bad request. You might've forgotten a required question, or submitted a multiple choice option that doesn't exist.
• 404 Not found. Your form doesn't exist. Maybe you copied the url wrong.
• 405 Method not allowed. Probably messed something up, definitely a skill issue.
• 429 Rate limited. You're trolling too hard.
