No. As long as the information you are scraping either comes from pages you are on (inside the browser) or by using the api at api.torn.com
You could fully legally intercept succesful buy requests in the browser and log that in your database. But you cannot automate the process of buying for instance.
Im just looking for info on what im buying at what price and what am i selling at what price, because i tend to forget what items i bought for what price
Also, how would one do that?
An activity log tool is being built that users will also be able to access which will show you all of your actions for basically anything. Everything in Torn is logged, staff can access these logs where required and soon the players too will be able to see their own steps via this tool.
Oh heck yeah!!!
Sounds great!
Wow, that sounds very interesting.
You not seen ched talking about it for months
No I was away for a few months, and then I rarely follow API/Tools development on the forums.
Keep an eye on "Joe: Activity log" in patch notes
I look forward to it reporting our Crimes 2.0 actions.
Will it be launched around the same time?
