Need some help: botting

MyPasswordIsMyName said:

I saw alot of threads of people using instagram bots, people who run many of them. But each bot controls a mouse right? So how can I achieve that? I really hope anyone can help me out here!

Do you need control over the mouse? Can you just click the elements using Javascript? This depends on how much human emulation you need. You could write your bot using Selenium if you just need DOM element manipulation.

    rand_int_time = random.uniform(0.5, 1)

    pyautogui.moveTo(289, 150, rand_int_time)
    pyautogui.rightClick()
    pyautogui.moveRel(100, None, rand_int_time)

    pyautogui.keyDown("left", 2)
    pyautogui.keyUp("left")
    pyautogui.keyDown("up", 2)
    pyautogui.keyUp("up")

    pick()

def pick():
    rand_int_time = random.uniform(0.5, 1)
    sleep_time = random.uniform(1, 2.1)

    for i in range(30):
        random_x = random.uniform(265, 275)
        random_y = random.uniform(245, 255)
        pyautogui.moveTo(random_x, random_y, rand_int_time)
        pyautogui.click()
        time.sleep(sleep_time)

        try:
            pyautogui.locateOnScreen("bottomline.png", grayscale = True, region =(503,403,14,13))
            pass
        except Exception:
            solve_puzzle()

    alch()

No, the bots are you talking about doesn't take mouse control
They can be set up on a VPS and let them run all day

How are these bots made? How can I program such bots, is it java script?

Sadly I don't know how they are made, but I used them

Yes the PyAutoGUI module always takes the control over the mouse. Here is a piece of the code I'm using it's very click intensive, and sometimes I need to type some things:

Spoiler: Python / PyAutoGUI module script

Code:

def start():
    # INITIALIZE
    rand_int_time = random.uniform(0.5, 1)
    sleep_time = random.uniform(1, 2)

    pyautogui.moveTo(289, 150, rand_int_time)
    pyautogui.rightClick()
    pyautogui.moveRel(100, None, rand_int_time)

    pyautogui.keyDown("left", 2)
    pyautogui.keyUp("left")
    pyautogui.keyDown("up", 2)
    pyautogui.keyUp("up")

    pick()

def pick():
    rand_int_time = random.uniform(0.5, 1)
    sleep_time = random.uniform(1, 2.1)

    for i in range(30):
        random_x = random.uniform(265, 275)
        random_y = random.uniform(245, 255)
        pyautogui.moveTo(random_x, random_y, rand_int_time)
        pyautogui.click()
        time.sleep(sleep_time)

        try:
            pyautogui.locateOnScreen("bottomline.png", grayscale = True, region =(503,403,14,13))
            pass
        except Exception:
            solve_puzzle()

    alch()

So ur saying that if I use JavaScript I can run as many bots I want on one destktop? I've never programmed java but if that's true I will certainly give that a shot!

This is all stuff you can inject using javascript. Look into selenium for python. It's pretty easy get started and all of your stuff can be easily ported. If the site does cursor tracking, then you'll have to use your current solution.

Currently I'm working on a project to bot a game. I'm doing this with PyAutoGUI. The goal is to run +-20 bots on my computer but there is one problem. I'm using a virtual machine for each bot, because each python script controls the "main" mouse. Currently I'm running 5 bots and that's the maximim I can run if I stick with virtual machines. Any ideas how I can run more bots? My computer can easily run 20 python scripts but the issue is I only have one mouse to control so I'm obligated to use some kind of software.

You can use containers (docker or LXC). They're much lighter on system resources than full virtual machines.
Though I'm not sure if you can have a graphical interface with a container.

I've already heard of Selenium in the past. Isn't it used for websites? I'm playing a game which is launched through a client. I'm trying to add a picture here but because I'm a new user it won't let me

If that's the case, your probably out of luck unless you take it one step further and start reverse engineers the packets/data. You'd basically have to write your own non-UI client if you don't want to use autohotkey/autoit/or other similar type of scripting language....not easy to write a headless bot for games.

add new user to your VPS and run the bots

My method doesn't make alot of money at the moment just want to make some 500$-1000$ starting cash before I'm investing in anything. But VPS is probably the way to go if I want to run LOTS of bots.
