What is it easy to write browser bots on (authors, browser bots, etc., etc.)?

Question

JavaScript

Selenium WebDriver as I understand it is a program that is suitable for testing but not in this area. Since it is simply connected to the browser through a special driver. And you need something already a component.

Answer 1

 Write on what is convenient. The easiest way is to emulate http/websockets requests in any language.

Answer 2

Selenium is suitable, just to manage C# under Windows, you can take PhantomJS if you understand it;)

Answer 3

imacros extension for firefox. the scripting language itself is simple there, but it is possible to control it using js. you write a js script that generates macros for imacros and executes them and then processes the results and generates macros again)))
and the rucaptcha service has a functionality tailored for imacros in addition.

Answer 5

PhantomJS

Answer 6

Node Webkit. The ideal thing for such tasks. Plus, you can use jQuery selectors or any framework.

Answer 7

I have the following bundle: (console app + phantomJS) + self-host asp.net webapi (service for receiving and saving data). It is convenient to parse data on a phantom, it is also convenient to manage phantom processes from .net, then more or less structured data is sent to asp.net webapi in json format and transformations, cache and storage in the database are performed on them. The phantom should be considered as a short-lived process.
