What Programming Language Is The Best For Botting

To those who are commenting python + selenium, can you tell me how to remove the footprints from chrome driver/Firefox driver? That's a roadblock I am facing right now with this combination. Most of the big sites know that your browser is a bot, if they want to find out.

I can't speak for selenium but I've completely stripped down chromium for my bots (mainly so I can fit more on a server)

If i were you I'd be looking online for tips on how to detect selnium and then just try and fix the things they mention

You mean that famous stack overflow post?I know I gotta be doing more than trying to find a pre compiled driver lol.

I want to create a facebook bot that can make accounts and then use those accounts to post photos and I would like it to be all automated. Something like Jarvee or Facedominator (but less complicated), but I am not sure about what programming language to learn. I made this thread to take suggestions from anyone who can help me make a decision. I thank you in advance for your comments.

100% C# and maybe you can get away with Python.
Who knows, try it out.
 
It's depends on your programming background. If you've any experience with javascript, nodejs could be your first choice. If not, go with python which has a rich library of what you need to make your bots.

I find creating bots quite complicated. Instead I just copy human actions using headless browser like phantomjs. Then run it day in day out with proxies etc. So a basic understanding of html and JS is more than enough.

This is interesting to me. Are you writing JS to script these actions, or is there a way you can 'capture' manual actions and have them automatically converted to a script that PhantomJs can run?
 
Is there any tool or things, can scrape articles from a list of URLs on a particular site, and then input all these articles to a wordpress site?

PS: hand post is not the option, as when you go large amount of URL, this can kill you easily...

You will not get any SEO benefit if posting word by word duplicated articles.

Python has some great ready to use modules that can help in web automation.
 
Guys i was using python and selenium for my bots but im newbie, so i wasn't able to use my bot in another computer. The new computer were needs to install python, pip and selenium but its hard to tell somebody to install all of them for a bot.
Is there an easy way?

Instead of installing the whole thing on another computer, you can host your bot on a server and hook up every function to a route. For a example /extractData will trigger data extraction process at your end then output the result to the client's end in an HTML table or whatever.
if you install your bot in an another computer, you're also handing over your source code. I don't think you want to do that.

Should i learn how to use django or something like that for doing this?
I already did a research for pyhthon+django+selenium and python+selenium+web server, but i couldn't find a solution.
Actually, i don't know how to combine my code with a web page.

i'm not a Python expert, but no i don't think so.
learn how to create a route instead
 
i need help on this particular topic, already composed my question but the anti-spam bot keeps flagging the post as potential spam.
it has no links just 2 paragraphs of question text. how do i post this please?
 
python easy and the best. I made live casino bot with python.
 
depends on what you're trying to do. I prefer nodejs, but sometimes just a simple series of curl requests inside a shell script can do wonders.

When needed, I am able to randomize user agent, window size and navigator.webdriver == False. I haven't touched timezone and screen resolution. I don't think it's needed to change those, but it's also doable.

And if you're asking how... methods for those modifications can be found by Google. It took me some effort to get it work, so I wouldn't like to just spoonfeed the solutions. User agent can be changed with a separate library and selenium's own commands, window size can be changed by selenium's own commands, but the webdriver == False requires some Javascript.

Which library are you using for automation? I thought Python + Selenium was the way to go, but I guess not.

I am using Python + Selenium + chromedriver for my setup. I will definitely look more into getting the webdriver variable changed. All tutorials I have managed to find till now involves modifying the chromedriver's compiled code with a hex editor, which is an aweful solution lol. AFAIK webdriver variable is readonly, so I can't change it in runtime as well.
