Oh okay. Well that's disappointing. The reason I wanted to do it with javascript was because I wanted to make it in google sheets because it allows you to set up a timer that will trigger the script every set interval of time which would mean it would run off of google's servers for free and I wouldn't have to keep my computer running it. Also Since it's google sheets I could have it store the data in a spreadsheet. Damn so there is no way to get it to work in javascript?

Thanks for the reply. I am using Javascript. Sorry I guess I should have mentioned that. I don't really know how to translate that code to javascript though which is the biggest issue I've been having with all the examples.

Could I just get an example url that the bot would be sending? What in an example situation would go after "https://btc-e.com/tapi/"?

Hello. I am interested in creating my own trading bot for the btc-e exchange. I can program a little but let me worry about that. The thing I don't understand is how the api works. The documentation gives you this:
"https://btc-e.com/tapi" (I'm just showing you the url, I'm not trying to link you to anywhere)

I was able to create a small script in google sheets that retrieves the info from that page and inserts it into a cell so actually getting the info won't be a problem. I just don't understand what else I am supposed to put in the URL. I don't understand the documentation on btc-e. How do insert the key/secret? How do I give Parameters?

I would assume it would be as simple as giving me a sample URL with a made up key and secret, but the fact that they didn't do that tells me that it isn't that simple. Is this correct? If not, could someone give me an example?

Disclaimer: I don't expect this bot to actually be good, I just thought it would be a fun project. Also programming the actual algorithm won't be a problem. I do have experience with that. I just don't know how to get it to communicate with the api.

Thank you for reading!

Edit: I am using javascript
