Python bots

Bots are a good first project after learning Python basics, because they combine a small amount of logic with a real API. Build a Reddit Bot is a written series using PRAW, the Python Reddit API wrapper, and How to Make a Reddit Bot is a video version of the same idea. How To Create a Telegram Bot Using Python (2 parts) uses Telegram's Bot API and is the easiest platform to get running today.

Build a Facebook Messenger Bot sets up a webhook server that receives and replies to messages, and Making a Reddit + Facebook Messenger Bot combines the two. Create a Twitter Bot In Python uses Tweepy. Twitter, now X, ended free API access in 2023, and Facebook's Messenger platform requires app review, so expect extra setup steps beyond what the older tutorials show. Reddit has also tightened API access, so read its current rules before running a bot.
