Title: Accessing services without (official) API ~ About the API-less bots ~ Post by: PremiumCodeX on December 15, 2019, 09:12:46 PM I am writing this thread so that I could use this information as a reference in future debates.
I keep it important that more people get an idea about API-less bots like many programs made with UI.Vision (https://ui.vision/) or Selenium (https://selenium.dev/) because it would be useful if people could imagine accessing their services using an other way instead of the official API or at least make a statement whether they accept API-less bots or not. Of course, it is also useful if you, as a developer / bot user, ask the staff first, but the main problem is that most of the times the staff do not and do not want to know about any, other than the official API, automated way of accessing their services. Have you known about these API-less technologies? What is your opinion about the issue?

It is bad to ask people about this technique without providing them with links or references for this information.
Of course, many prefer to deal with graphical interfaces, and therefore the executables are the easiest. I read some information about it on Google, it seems that it is much better than API, I will do some reading and update this topic.

Under API-less technologies I mean the set of programs that allow you to do anything in a web application (such as exchanges, clouds, bots with web GUI...etc.) that you could do manually, but using these programs without any manual interaction.
