Learning bot programing

Hey guys!

I'm currently working on learning bot programming, bot making. I learned programming in school but it didn't go very well so I'm basically at a beginner's level. I've managed to create a Shopify auto checkout bot using internet tutorials (with puppeteer) but I need help with my learning. I know there are different types of streaming, social media, and trading bots and I'm interested in learning about other areas where bots can be used. I'm still pretty clueless about a lot of things, especially bot detection avoidance, proxy usage, etc. I would really appreciate some guidance on where to start, websites, or communities that can make my learning easier.

Thanks for reading and if you have any info or advice I'd love to hear it!

hi man, just define your goal, choose a platform, then take the task and master the sub task one at a time, everything is already here, you have just to search and connect the dots., learn to make a proxy server on the cloud, once you can do it.
move to antidetect browser like adspower learn to use it with the API.
then move to the next task until you have the whole thing.
you can use chatgpt to speed your coding.
I have fully automated youtube channel creation and upload, gmail creation, proxy creation, antidetect browser profile creation and use... as an example.
just take it slowly. wish you good luck.

I'm also researching and learning the material

forgot about something don't waste your time coding from scratch, search on github take what someone else has already made and reuse it, update it to make it do what you want, or just take inspiration from it.

its akin to asking, i just bought a car, where can i drive?

i had the desire to automate a dating app. i went on youtube and searched. quickly found a tutorial on how to use selenium to bot tinder. perfect. watched the full 20 minute video. learned everything i needed to know for a minimum viable product. from there it's more self-education on how to do more stuff.

truth is depending on what your botting, most sites do not even care about your IP to throttle you. but if you had the desire to ask, how do i have my script grab a random proxy from my proxies.txt list, you google it. find a stackoverflow or youtube link, and follow along. repeat this for every question you have.

once you get into the groove you will find yourself on niche blogs that give you tips, tricks, best practices. there's no master class pdf or video. but maybe there is, it's up to your google-fu. its all googling. like @cpaspoint mentioned it's also a good shortcut to search github likely someone already made a similar script you can clone or rip LOC out of.

i have this bhw thread bookmarked which holds the hand for a beginner. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/t...lenium-for-python-browser-automation.1462476/

This is all great advice. Using ChatGPT especially helps out immensely. I started working on a new tool for my personal suite today, and what would've taken me 8 hours to do, ChatGPT helped me do it in 2. Depending on the complexity of the program, you could even get away with ChatGPT basically writing the whole program for you.

Look in this: https://wiki.bablosoft.com/doku.php

This is a powerful tool that will help you make any bots.

You have 2 elements, the whitebox and the blackbox

Whitebox - Things you have access to (network traffic)
- You can inspect everything that's being sent to the service to get an understanding of blackbox vectors
- Replicating what's being sent to the server. This is crucial and usually the hardest part

Blackbox - Things you don't have access to (server sided checks)
- Email checks (anti temp mails.. etc)
- Phone number checks (anti-VOIP.. etc)
- IP checks (abused ips.. etc)
- Behavior pattern checks
