Hi,

I have programmed a command line tool to interact with Mount Gox. It is called mgcli. It implements the API functions except the withdraw bitcoins functions: https://mtgox.com/api

The benefit of mgci:

You want to trade Bitcoins at Mt. Gox.
Insteed of login in to Mount Gox, waiting, klicking here and there, entering an amount, klicking into an other field, entering a price - you simply enter something like

mgcli sellbtc 2.4 6.0

at the command prompt. This is an order to sell 2.4 Bitcoins for the price of 6$ per Bitcoin. With

mgcli orders or mgcli histroy BTC you can check the execution status of this order.


Other possible commands are:

mgcli ticker - shows ticker data
mgcli orders - shows orders
mgcli cancel order - cancel an order by id
...


For me this was an programming execise and the spin off of another project. It is written in scala, so you have to install a scala runtime enviroment. It is similar to the java runtime enviroment. Installation of mgcli is a little bit complicated.

You can check it out here: http://mgcli.wordpress.com/
