Want To Learn How To Make Bots.

[Spectra2000]

Hello everyone, and welcome to my first thread.
These days i downloaded a bot called Socinator, if you are not familiar with it, it is used to manage social media, things like posting automatically, finding a youtube video and watching it, likes, upvotes, and all the stuff like this.
It was a fascinating experience for me, i liked it so much, and now i want to learn how to make bots like this.
Any information would really help me guys, i tried to find something on google, i found just some basic ones made with Python, and i heard that Python is not that good for making bots.
What language should i learn to make bots? if you have any courses in mind, i would really appreciate it, but i have no money so if you are trying to sell me something you are just going to waste your time.
Also, i already have some basic info about C#, HTML, CSS, i used to make games with C# using Unity engine.
Any idea or info would really help, i appreciate it guys!

Python. Learn python. Go learn it at freecodecamp and then use tools like openCV to be undetectable to any programmatic detection methods. Just make sure your heuristics are good and you cycle through proxies and user agents/finger prints properly.

There is no best language for building bots. C#, Python, .. Everything depends on how proficient you are with any of those and what are the specific project requirements. One small thing that you haven't thought about at the beginning can change everything, including the language.

Thank you so much for this amazing thread it's going to be so helpful for me, i just read the beginning and i understand more and more, i will make sure to read it tonight, but i noticed that you are talking about scrappers, do they have the same concepts as bots, or i will need them?

If you can, please use the multi-quote function as it makes the threads flow much easier. How to multi-quote can be found here Newbie Guide

Scrapers specifically scrape (i.e automatically collect content) on any website/resource the scraper can see.

Bots are simply programs that do any sort of automation. Like clicking a link, visiting and watching a youtube video , ordering some product from a website etc

Scrapers are a type of bot. But not all bots are scrapers.

1. Scrapers are just a type of bots, scrapers, account creators, video uploaders... Etc tools are bots in the web automation field.

2. HTTP programming course is what you should start with if you already know c# basics.
