What FairGiveaway is
FairGiveaway is a free web service for hosting social media giveaways with randomly selected winners and publicly reviewable draw records. It currently supports X (Twitter). Organizers can require participants to like or comment on a giveaway tweet, follow specified accounts, or engage with another tweet. Optional winner checks can look for a profile picture, bio, minimum account age, minimum post count, and verified comments. Winner selection uses the browser Web Crypto API's crypto.getRandomValues function. A finalized draw receives a unique ID that opens its participant list, winner verification results, and configuration. A RESTful API supports programmatic draw creation, verification, and history queries. The frontend and backend are open source under the MIT license. Finalized records are retained permanently, while active draw sessions expire after 15 minutes. The privacy policy says MongoDB Atlas and Upstash Redis use encryption in transit and at rest, with access limited to authorized application credentials. The FAQ says Twitter session cookies used during scraping are held in memory rather than saved to disk or a database.
