Sneaker Bots? What Language Should I Use?

[CoderFromHell]

Been bored lately, decided I wanna work on something new. May get into the sneaker market. Which language would be the fastest for check out bots in the sneaker market? I’m a Python Developer/Programmer but I’m open to other languages, I’ve been told Go was the fastest for automation.

When I was botting a while back lots of the popular bots were coded in C#.

I think Python is a perfect programming language for these automation jobs. If design (front side) is not important, there is no need to use another language.

If you want a nice design, you can look at alternatives like C#. (You can do it with Python but it takes a lot of time)

Would you suggest selenium or something else? I will depend on the request library for timing/speed

Sending plain HTTP requests (with using requests library) is the best, fastest and most efficient way. But some websites don't allow you to send post requests. For example, you can't create Gmail account with sending post requests. Because Google uses complex bot detection method. In such cases, you should use browser automation such as Selenium. I don't know which website it is, so I can't tell more.

From one Python dev to another, I think you are better of going with Java. The language sucks, I know, but it has the Selenium framework which was first developed for java and then for Python.

Whereas for Go, I don't know if you have the same support and community for web automation frameworks as you have for Java - Selenium or Python - Selenium.

for sneaker bots u cant use selenium or any headless speed is crucial and multi-threading in python and java simply no go C# or Delphi is best or c++, simplest is c# with less learning curve check Chilkat libs and there documentations experiment for get/post and analyze the sneakers sites with fiddler and Charles and try to emulate same with Chilkat

python sucks sneakers checkout bots requires very high performance which python cant provide never ever
