If you dont mind me asking. What did you code it with? What does it do? It cant run on shared hosting?

C#. At the moment it takes RSS feeds and posts them to the sub for the Eve developer blogs.

It can run on shared hosting right now, in fact the database already runs on Azure. The problem is it simulates browser activity which means it needs a full desktop to run. With the new API its much lighter.

But you don't need a full-blown desktop environment to simulate a browser! Google "headless browser". Example: http://phantomjs.org/

Any chance you would be willing to share the code? I need a bot like this for another sub.

So with the API i can make a bot grab info post it and update it? How many commnent upvotes you need before you dont have the captcha?
