Is it against the community guildlines to automate sending out curator invites to your followers.

I am thinking of using scratch api ajax in a for loop.

var arr = prompt("Enter your users").split(",")
for(i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  $.ajax({type:"PUT",url:"https://scratch.mit.edu/site-api/users/curators-in/[studio]/invite_curator/?usernames="+arr[i]})
}

It might not be against the Community Guidelines (though it could violate “Be honest”) but the CG's aren't the only rules on the site

I don't think any interaction with other users is allowed to be automated.

It's not against the Community Guidelines but it is against the Terms of Use

That and:

Terms of Use wrote:

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to: Using alternate accounts or organizing voting groups to manipulate site statistics, such as purposely trying to get on the “What the Community is Loving/Remixing” rows of the front page.

I also have an official quote from Scratch Team member Paddle2See

I've seen a popular project that has a tutorial and it's still available

I think you are allowed to write bots but not use them which is a shame. We could do a lot more.

It doesn't because it isn't intended to be used as a userscript.
