I am trying to create a "bot" or program to store data from a website to attempt to find trends in the program. The website i want to do this with is essentially a gambling website that generates a multiplier of your bet that increases until it "crashes". If you pull out before crashes you win your bet times the multiplier you pull out on, if it crashes before you pull out then the bet goes to the website.
I have no intention on betting, because i know the house always wins. What I am interested in though, is capturing the occurrences of different "crash points" and storing them into a table for later analyzation of trends. What I am wondering is how do I make a bot to capture the number that it crashes at and then store that into a vector of another program to view trends?
First of all: please do not use given information to cheat in any way. This could be unlawful.
That said. If it is a website where you have to register you might have to look at what cookies are set/used and implement them into your program to be able to act/play/learn on its own.
If you simply want to log coming numbers write a small plugin or use a javascript like addon like greasemonkey to read values or simply use an excel sheet, csv file, google spreadsheet.
Thank you for the reply, I have no intention to try to cheat but thank you for the heads up. There is no sign up on the website so i can;t do your first suggestion. The Problem I am having is i cannot find what web element that displays the crash point, so i don't know where to extract the values from on the webpage.
no sign up is even better, so writing small scripts might be easier. Use debug tool (built into browser, mostly F12 ) and go to Network tab then reload and play. might even be json or use iframe post ;)
