bumble-auto-swipe

A simple CLI tool that automates swiping on Bumble using Playwright. Console-based scripts don't work on Bumble because it rejects untrusted JavaScript events (isTrusted: false). This tool uses browser-level automation to generate real, trusted click events.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

Setup

git clone https://github.com/jericho1050/bumble-auto-swipe.git
cd bumble-auto-swipe
npm install
npx playwright install chromium

Usage

node bumble-auto-like.mjs

A Chromium window will open. Log in to your Bumble account on the first run — your session is saved in ./bumble-profile/ so you won't need to log in again.

Once the encounters page loads, the script starts swiping automatically.

Options

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--interval <ms>	-i	3000	Delay between swipes in milliseconds
--max <count>	-m	50	Maximum number of swipes
--humanize		false	Enable human-like behavior (see below)
--like-ratio <pct>	-r	70	Percentage of profiles to like (requires --humanize)
--help	-h		Show help message

Examples

# Like every profile, 3 second interval, up to 50 swipes
node bumble-auto-like.mjs

# Faster, more swipes
node bumble-auto-like.mjs -i 1500 -m 200

# Human-like mode: random speed, random passes, 70% like ratio
node bumble-auto-like.mjs --humanize

# Human-like mode with 80% like ratio and slower base speed
node bumble-auto-like.mjs --humanize -r 80 -i 5000

Humanize mode

When --humanize is enabled:

• Profile scrolling — Scrolls through each profile 1-3 times before swiping, simulating actually browsing their photos and bio
• Varying speed — Each delay is randomized between 50%-150% of the base interval, so the timing never looks robotic
• Random passes — Skips a percentage of profiles based on --like-ratio instead of liking everyone

Without --humanize, the script likes every profile at a fixed interval.

Why not a console script?

Bumble checks event.isTrusted on all interactions. Events created from JavaScript (element.click(), dispatchEvent(), new KeyboardEvent()) are all marked isTrusted: false by the browser and get silently ignored. Playwright operates at the browser level, generating real input events that pass this check.

How it works

1. Opens a persistent Chromium browser (login session is preserved between runs)
2. Navigates to bumble.com/app and waits for the encounters page
3. Finds the Like/Pass buttons using Bumble's data-qa-role attributes
4. Clicks them using Playwright's native click (trusted events)
5. Logs each action to the console
