MMO P&S Where do I start to learn how to make a bot?

[Ivanteli]

I aspire to create a bot capable of managing multiple accounts, automating posts, and handling various tasks. Which programming language should I learn for this purpose? Thanks.

 

[Proudel]

Python is a great choice for building bots. It's easy to learn and maintain. For automation, you can explore using Selenium.

Your choice might depend on whether you want a polished interface, work primarily with Windows, or have plans to sell your product. I've been using both C# and Python for similar tasks, and I find it's beneficial to know both. C# is great for building UIs that handle data processing, while Python can manage backend tasks like scraping and heavy computation. I'd recommend getting proficient in both since they offer excellent libraries and have extensive community support. As long as Windows remains popular, C# will too. Python, on the other hand, is widely loved and definitely worth learning.

Python is an excellent choice.

 

[Ormesha]

Master coding. Python is a solid option.

Consider exploring Python with Selenium for your automation needs. This combination can help you build bots for various tasks. For a practical example, search for "Python Selenium Tinder" on YouTube—you can create a Tinder automation bot in just 30 minutes by following a tutorial. The skills you gain can be applied to any website.

If you're looking for no-code options, powerful tools like ZennoPoster and BrowserAutomationStudio are also worth considering. Both are available from vendors on MMO.

Begin with Selenium, whether you're using Python or C#.

 

[Mitzios]

Python is the ideal language for building your bot—it's simple yet powerful. Once you're comfortable with it, you can explore tools like Selenium for further automation.

Absolutely, you can—with Python and Selenium.

 

[Sk8rid]

@ifxsnakes If you have basic coding knowledge and strong logic skills, you can create it yourself using Python and Selenium. However, if you only need to automate one or two tasks, seeking expert assistance might be a better option.

Start by learning a programming language. I agree with most of the suggestions—begin with Python. Get familiar with how the web functions, and use Python’s scraping libraries to automate tasks.

 

[SellFunky]

I recommend automating with JavaScript. Once you’re proficient in JS, you can transition to various areas like websites, backends, and more. While other languages can also be used, JavaScript's versatility makes it a strong choice.

Python

 

[WeirdHello]

In my opinion, JavaScript (JS) is more future-proof. Once you’re comfortable with the language, you can easily transition into areas like web development, as JS is the primary language for frontend development. This familiarity will be beneficial if you choose to delve into web development later.

Another advantage is that you can also use JS to build backends (server-side), allowing you to create a complete web app without needing to learn multiple programming languages. While Python is easier to learn and excels in backend development, it’s more limited in scope compared to JavaScript.

I recommend learning either Python or Java.
