Gaia Online Philosopher's Cache Bot

[AlwaysTesting]

Well for those of us that are on Gaia and use Logical Gaia or other Dumpster Dive bots we notice that we tend to get a lot of these Philosopher's Caches. Tonight I was extremely bored and decided to open all 2k I have collected which lead to me getting various colors of Philosopher's Caches. So I've actually opened and collected data of the items within each colored cache and found out which items have the highest sell back value but it's a pain staking process to open some 2k caches which brings me to the reason why I'm here.

I wish to design a program that will open the desired caches and select the highest selling item, with the option to choose the selling price selection to come from either the sell back value or of the current going price on the marketplace. Then the program would open all the, lets say Ruby, caches and give me the highest selling item in that cache and sell them all once it's finished before moving onto the next colored cache.

I'm still very new to programming, I'm familiar with Visual Basics and know the basics for coding, like how to set it up for the most part, but I'm still learning and I'd think this would be a good challenge to start with but should I use VB, would using Tampermonkey be better, should I try Javascript or something else? What would be the best language to use in order to create this program?

I'd argue for the usage of python, but that's just me.

For the most part language is irrelevant and any of the mentioned would work.

For research you will want something like the LiveHTTP headers add-on for firefox, or Charles.

These tools will help you record and analyze the POST data showing you what to script.

Alright thank you for the tips. I'm going to use VB for now because like I said, it's what I'm familiar with. LiveHTTP add-on.. That's what will show me what the lines of code are that pop up when I open a page or select an item right? I think I saw a tutorial on site somewhere so I'll look into that. Again thank you!

If you so happen to make this, mind sharing it ^^? I've opened over 5K+ Caches and, yeah...lol.

For a working gaia-login method Kitsune released a silent program that spits out Session ID's that can be applied to a cookie for login.

This is probably going to be your best method to starting your project.

@Amenze Yeah it's a pain, I pull in a lot in one day so I'm sure others do as well, this will be released once I finish it.

@Kingz V Thank you! I was just wondering how I was going to tackle that when I logged on here to browse the guides.

oh wait. butts has a good service too i remember now

Your best bet for making one of these would be through Python
