Forum api?

[ironstove.]

Is there an api available for this forum to do stuff like login, post, make thread, get meta data on threads like posters, and run forum search?

I assume you were planning on making a mafia bot? Didn't seem possible when I looked into it a month or two ago

[iamafuckingretard]

mafiauniverse runs on vbulletin and they made a mafia bot so its definitely possible

[GranDGranT]

Can the api tell me whether I'm gay or not

they probably created what stove is requesting to support their bot

yea so you can get vote counts with a crawler, but posting on this forum is a little tricky.

i think i could get it working using selenium which mimics browser actions, so you could record yourself logging in as a bot and posting but it's so clunky i was hoping for something a bit more seamless

also requires stuff like manually updating the live thread and such barring the bot searching every thread on the first page for posts indicating a votecount request based on the timestamp... once again, not worth all that trouble.

It would be good if all games were formatted the same so it would be easier to bot the results with keywords.

and spitwad will ban you if you use a bot

u could easily use selenium or phantomjs to do this

Thinking of someone setting up a selenium project to search nadota makes me want to jump off a bridge
