Taking the Fun Out of Everything: Automating Neopets

Talkat StarCon 2018 · on Sunday, 2018-01-07· [web-performance]

Scripts automate dailies and bank interest by making HTTP requests, using neo live and Python to log actions and replay them. A concrete trading rule is implemented: buy at 15 neo points up to 1,000 shares per day and hold until double/triple, which yields large neopoint gains. A battle routine runs as a while loop battle bot that wins fights; stock scraping breaks when a relied-upon page goes away and the trading script fails since November 23rd.
