Background: I've been an avid player/trader/donator for some time now, and I have a question about bots.

I am thinking about creating bots for trading tf2/dota2 items, something I'm currently in communication with steam about. (Whether it's against their ToS etc).

Provided I get a go ahead from them, do you at dota/tf2outpost have any problem with trades maintained by bots?

If you are; to what degree?

Is having a bot that only takes care of trades okay, with me manually writing the trades on the webpage?

Can I have a bot that updates the prices in the trade (on the webpage) based on fluctuations in supply/demand (as noted by the general flow of the trades, metal->item vs item->metal).

If you are okay with both these things, do you have any pointers on how to connect to your website? I could ofc create some ugly script that just clicks the right buttons, but an API or a more lowlevel connection would be super.

Also, I hope I don't offend anyone by doing this; it's not about just profiting, it's a nice project that I feel will test my various talents.
