Spencatro Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Howdy all, Curious if there's any sort of web API for P&W? Also related: are there any rules to botting? I don't mean making robots that spam-create nations or anything (that would obviously be against the rules), but rather robots that use my account log in information (and only my own) to make queries about data from other nations (or even my own). An idea of a few things I'd like to accomplish: write a script that checks every ~1.5 hours to see if I have $X, email me if I do. I'm not wanting to write any code that plays the game for me (that would be... well, lame), but I would like to be able to write code that helps em make more intelligent decisions. I know this is sort of a tricky subject, so I'm curious if that sort of thing be against the rules. Thanks! Edit: Also, why are terms like API and bot not searchable terms in the forums?

Dwynn Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 As to the search: Seems pretty self explanatory. Sheepy has an API in the works, but it hasn't had much headway recently. And the rules on what can and can't be done by "botting" as you call it seem to vary by the question. Quote He's right, I'm such a stinker. Play my exceptional game!

Phiney Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 No api, but a few people have made bots to help with stuff so I know Sheepy is fine with it. See Malone tools in orbis central forums to see a widely used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencatro Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the input!I must have missed the note about the query being too short. Thanks for pointing that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
