How can I automate bitcoin sending?

[Bit Trader]

I've been wondering is it possible for a wallet to have some sort of rest API I could call in order to send funds to another bitcoin wallet of my choice.

for example wwww.myWallet.Com/uniqueToken/walletIDToSendTo

I would like to be able to send bitcoins automatically at certain times of the day as determined by my trading program.

Any information would be great, Thanks!

A few ways.

The core client supports it

most web apis support it also, such a blockchain where you need private key only

I've heard a couple of incidents when this system messed up and they all lost their coins. Guess it would be best be just to do it yourself. I don't know. That's just my thoughts..

Surely in this case it would either still be in a client side private key (and you can get it back) or sent to the wrong public key address?

That looks exactly like the kind of thing I was looking for, my wallets are with blockchain aswell so perfect.

What are these cases where people lose coins that seems rather impossible surely they will always be accountable for?

Yeah, As said. you would have either sent it to the wrong address which isn't yours. or ta private key which is yours.

But there is a chance since you are handing the private key to blockchain that they could do something amiss, but I very much doubt that would happen.. I have used blockchain many times never had a problem.

I suggest you use an offline wallet (a paper wallet is enough). You can still use the Blockchain API, even if you're not using their service to host your bitcoins.
