Hello !
I need to make an API bot with python or c#. But I'm confused what librairie should I use. I used to make browser bots using selenium and python but sadly selenium dosent supports API as I know. What about phantomjs ? Is it good ?

Phantom JS is good, c# has a library for it too

If you use python, you can use the build in module urllib2 for http api calls

PhantomJS is amazing, you can also try CasperJS, some people prefer it, sometimes using CasperJS is much simpler than PhantomJS.

You don't need any libraries for C#. You just need the HTTPWebRequest feature which is already built in .NET Framework. Just learn about POST and GET data, it's easy!
