Oct 11, 2015 at 6:43 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; actually I think I have resolved the issue. thanks for your help
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:42 comment added Brock Adams Let us continue this discussion in chat.
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:41 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; and do you have a particular program to do this, say your personnel favorite?
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:40 comment added Brock Adams No. The whole point is that it's client side. But it does fetch data from a server. It's pretty basic and usually well documented in whatever language you program in.
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:39 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; don't want to state the obvious, but isn't AJAX server-side?
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:37 comment added Brock Adams Standard AJAX request. See stackapps.com/questions/4511/…
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:35 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; thanks, but how do i connect to the SE server?
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:26 comment added Brock Adams Anyway, this is not particularly hard. Basically, your app would loop through your list of sites and call /questions/featured for each one. You'd want to filter and cache the results but no server is required.
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:08 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; not on this site - and I use discretion
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:08 comment added Brock Adams You cannot automate voting with read-only access. ... Also, are you the guy that's been upvoting every question on this site, including real turkeys that are closed and should be burned with holy fire?
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:05 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; i've got another idea as well - in order to get Civic Duty badges i've been religiously voting on sites - something i feel could also be automated

Oct 11, 2015 at 6:02 comment added JMP @BrockAdams; to find available bounties automatically without having to trawl through all 300 sites manually, or guessing where the rep is at
Oct 11, 2015 at 6:01 comment added Brock Adams Why do you want this? Is it just to collect data or do you want to try and pounce on those bounties while they are still fresh? ... The former is easy, the latter requires looping through up to 300 sites. ... What about meta sites? Non-English sites? Etc. This question is too vague in its current form.
Oct 11, 2015 at 5:24 comment added JMP @brasofilo; is there a preferred method to query the database, e.g. CVS, SSH, Powerpoint(?) - does SE have a comm-query program?
Oct 11, 2015 at 5:16 comment added brasofilo I think that the database is updated once a week, so not a good option. Never tried anything with bounties using the API but should be the way to go. Check the frontpage right column: Get Started. You'll be able to query the API online.
