Of course, although it'd probably be more efficient to have your script hook into the cli and do it that way. There's docs for both. Personally I would go the CLI route.

It depends on how many bots - if you want profile images for them and a description then manual creation will make their profiles look better
I don’t know but have a look at the API docs.

Please make sure to mark them as bots. Also, people get irritated if you don't limit visibility on their posting.
Hi I would of course always label them as bots. I already run four different bots through regular servers and I believe I follow etiquette properly.
Can you clarify exactly what you mean about visibility? Limit what?
So, for automated bot toots, people might be exploring local or federated feeds, and bots fill that stuff up in a hurry. If you toot your content as unlisted, followers-only, or mentioned-users-only, the targeted audience still receives those toots without cluttering up the local or federated feeds.
