What is the algorithm for creating a bot for OK.ru?

Question

C++ / C#

Good day!
There was a need to write a bot for classmates. The essence is extremely simple: I got user IDs with the given criteria, then, with a certain time delay, the bot visits the pages and sends messages to them (don't kick me, I know that spam is bad).
Since there is no experience in writing bots and working with the API, you need to add up the sequence in your head. Do I need to register as a developer on Odnoklassniki to register an application? I just think that the administration will not miss such an application during moderation. Or would it be better to arm yourself with Charles, track HTTP requests for the actions I need and implement the whole thing in C#?
Sincerely,
Yuri Yurin-Komarov.

Answer 1

My guess is that ok.ru recognizes a bot that will only deal with http requests to spam messages (if it didn't, they would be mired in spam). I propose to immediately understand and use something like Selenium Webdriver. From the outside, it will look like the user opens a browser, logs in, goes to a certain page, etc.
The practical plus is that after understanding Selenium and playing with bots, you can write autotests for real web applications.
