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.
It's probably not in a state I'd be happy sharing just yet. But I will offer the services of it once API access is available and I'm happy its stable enough. Probably some point after that I'll release it onto Github.
I'm unsure what they will do with it on the live site, but by definition a bot can't enter a captcha and they have been adding features to the new API with bots in mind.

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

Well firstly that's Javascript, secondly I'm not going to learn a new library when an API would be far better.

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?
