Title: Automated Trading For Exchanges That Don't Have APIs
Post by: Sage on June 12, 2014, 01:28:35 PM
Does anyone know if there is a workaround executed trades automatically on exchanges without automated trading function in their API?

It seems if spam bots can register for forums & blogs automatically, then a bot could be programed that would execute trades automatically through an exchange interface, without an API.

How would it be done?

If you know JavaScript you can add a script to any site with greasemonkey (FF plugin). Its basically bootstrapping local JavaScript into the downloaded page.

you'd have to have a program post directly through the browser interface.
depending on how the site is implemented, it could be as easy as posting
forms or requesting URLS, or it could be more complex, requiring clicking on buttons,
which may requrie js or something
