What would you guys recommend, Php or Python to automate instagram likes, followers etc.
 
Hows the learning curve, I'm assuming everything would require some pretty advanced techniques and a lot of scripting, but learning python from scratch to try to make a full fledged bot. do you think this is reasonable or far fetched?
 
Thanks alot! I learned a little php and began doing it that way but to my knowledge with python i could send out requests to instagram as a client, without being in a browser. Which seems more convenient :D
 
I think Python is pretty easy to pick up and from my point of view way more suitable for this task than PHP (I might be biased though). PM me if you need some resources.

Cheers
 
Sweet! I would pm you but i dont have enough posts yet :{
 
Oh, forgot about that. Sent you a PM. I think you can reply no matter the post count (I might be wrong).
 
Both languages will do it just great

My personal vote goes for PHP, because i know it better than Python
 
For your enjoyment:

http://python.org/doc/ (Official docs + tutorials. Start with this. Just skim through it)
https://developers.google.com/edu/python/?hl=en-US (Google's Python class. Should be your next step)

http://codingbat.com/python (Do this next. Those are practice problems.)
http://projecteuler.net (Sign up here. Try to solve as many problems as possible.)

Books
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/ (by the creator of python. Just 150 pages)
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ (best book out there. However, do not start with this book. Get it once you've gone through everything else)

Good luck on your journey, feel free to drop me a PM (once you have enough posts) if you are stuck on something.
 
Thanks alot for the feedback everyone! I will definitely look into the links above. Thanks!
