I have basic understanding of C#. However, I would like to know how to create social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) bots. I wish to implement features like follow and unfollow, auto comment, posting on profile and the likes.
Can anyone please lead me to a website or material where I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance

There is no single resource to learn how to develop bots, but you can start by understanding how HTTP requests work and by playing with the websites you want to make bots with by watching the requests your browser makes with them. Then you can start making a bot in your language of choice.

Also check Selenium Web Driver. It's a suite of tools that is used to help with online automation.

Depending on the bot you are creating but reading your post I cans ee that what you are looking for is HTTP management.
POST & GET requests, If you start looking into HTML, try googleing something like, how to login to a website using C# or what ever language you are using then work your way out from there.

I have been developing bots for years now. You have to know good programming, good reverse engineering skills and be able to crack puzzles. Then you can be a really good bot maker.

I second Selenium. There's a firefox plugin that even has a macro recorder which exports the sequence to C# code.

Selenium is not meant for firefox only but is mostly used with firefox driver, then chrome and others depending on which driver you feed it

You can start learning python to create a bot. Python is reliable.

Try something like supybot. It's robust and easy to expand/hack. Also learn how to curl/awk/sed/grep, most "bots" are really two lines of bash worth.
