Open Source Bot Frameworks

The DotNetWikiBot Framework was developed so that it can offer a helping hand with many complicated and routine tasks of wiki site development and maintenance. DotNetWikiBot Framework is a cross-platform full-featured client API, that allows you to build programs and web robots easily to manage information on MediaWiki-powered sites. DotNetWikiBot Framework can also be used for learning C# and .NET.

Using this plugin-based framework, you can instantly start working on the *brain* of your bot (irc bot, chatterbot, robot, ...). With support for db, irc, logging and programming-language independent plugins, users can easily enhance the functionality.

Duke is an IRC-bot framework based on PircBot library. It provides extensible IRC messages handling bus, made of modules integrated by Spring IoC container.

Codename EH Forwarder Bot (EFB) is an extensible message tunneling chat bot framework that delivers messages to and from multiple platforms and remotely controls your accounts. Since the majority of our channels are using polling for message retrieval, a stable internet connection is necessary for channels to run smoothly. An unstable connection may lead to slow response, or loss of messages. EFB uses a *nix user configuration style, which is described in details in Directories. In short, if you are using the default configuration, you need to create ~/.ehforwarderbot, and give read and write permission to the user running EFB. Currently, all modules that was submitted to us are recorded in the modules repository. You can choose the channels that fits your need the best. When you have successfully installed the modules of your choices, you can the use the configuration wizard which guides you to enable channels and middlewares, and continue to setup those modules.

Java Wiki Bot Framework helps with wiki (MediaWiki) site management. It allows to build robots to edit and dump information from Wikis. For more information and features see project homepage.

Pillar is an easy to use MediaWiki bot framework, which uses the MediaWiki API to allow construction of a bot to be made much easier.

Here you have an Java-based bot-framework for the WikiMedia-API

A Python library and collection of tools that automate work on MediaWiki sites. Originally designed for Wikipedia, it is now used throughout the Wikimedia Foundation's projects and on many other MediaWiki wikis including wikidata service. We do not use sourceforge.net anymore, but are very grateful for their support in the past.
