What Programming Language Is The Best For Botting

[terrier2018]

I want to create a facebook bot that can make accounts .... but I am not sure about what programming language to learn.

You are biting off more than you can chew. Creating a bot it's hard and requires some expertise. It's better to externalize the service, you will save months of developing (and time is money).

i suggest selenium and chromedriver

i suggest selenium and chromedriver

That isn't a language.

Anyway i suggest C#, the reason i suggest it is because if you know C# you can make websites, desktop apps, smartphone apps, cross platform apps and much more. If you go for desktop apps my advice is to skip winforms and UWP. WPF is in my opinion still the way to go. UWP is all flashy and ms is trying to push it but at this current state it might just be a next silverlight.

If you know some basic javascript (All internet marketers should at least know javascript) you can write a bot in puppeteer fairly easily even facebook.

+1 for puppeteer https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer

nodejs

c more powefull then python but in this case only for bots python better .

c is the lanuage that make other programming lanuages so dont no why you think phyhon the most powefull.

You dumbass, c and c# are different languages

+1 for Python with Selenium.

I started scripting my own bots originally with Ubot and later switched to Python with Selenium. If you are just starting to learn programming, Ubot might be a good investment to get you familiar with programming basics.

If you'd like to go full fledged programming stylie, Python is your friend. There are tons of modules that will help you implement functionality (such as spintax) faster than you can in most other programming languages.

Having pip (a python package manager) is also nice for quickly getting this up and going.

Check out the Learn Python video by freeCodeCamp on youtube. That should give you a good idea if python is the right choice for you.

Python is like, there's a module for everything <3 Currently i work with NodeJS, deciding between that and Python for next scrape/API service project ?

What would you choose for faster and maintainable dev ?

If you know node then use puppeteer.

it will do everything you can do with bot making.

if your looking to write bots which demand proframance like ticket buying bots and fashion bots then go C++

I use node.js for evrything. Botting, scraping, Bulk account creation.. You name it.

Nightmare.js is a electron based library that saved my ass more times that I can count. You can easily spoof ur user agent, cookies & proxy.

Seems really nice, have you ever find any issue with nightmare of missing feature ? It's headless browser ? Any possibility to inject jQuery or better doc element selector ? Thanks for resource

 

[DanDD]

actually you better go for C#. Theres a library called cefaharp and is one of the best for now

It's a headless browser yes, i use cheerio to browse the HTML hooks. ( works exactly like jQuery selector ) but that's not really important. If you wanna scrape data for example from any major website like FB or LinkedIn, it's mandatory that you fake human behavior. ( scroll the page, hover button, random pauses etc...) otherwise you will be banned or blocked by captcha. Check the doc for more infos :

Yop, know cheerio, nice tools, currently working with selenium on C# but i need to develop scripts a little faster, testing - running always take some time. Do you use DayDream for script generation ? I tried it on instagram but it stucked on chrome.

Python is probably the best for the task. Google created its crawl bots in that programming language so it is a good recommendation.

But Python is a strong language that has multiple purposes. You can work on websites, servers and even create an artificial intelligence with it.

Furthermore, there are some easy toolkits specifically intended for bots creating. One of those is Google Dialogflow, and it is an ideal solution for beginners without coding knowledge and experience.

I have not used it myself, but many reviewers claim anyone can build bots with it. So, you should check it out.

Nah i did everything from scratch, worth the time and the effort.
I tried daydream once, and the reason that i'm not using it is it triggers honeypots. ( links which aren’t visible to a normal user. When a scraper/spider tries to access the link, the alarms are tripped)

I recently found out about Dialogflow and it really does a perfect job dear. Very very sexy <3

That is one more positive review of the tool. It is great to hear that from you definitely.

I migrated from frameworks like UBot and Zennoposter to .NET, and finally I am adapting totally Python and forgetting about the others.
I think Python is way more reliable for Data Science.
