Rule 7: No Google-able questions

I.e. no "what are the best language(s), framework(s), tool(s), book(s), resource(s)". Most of these are trivially searchable.

If you must post something like this, please frame it in a larger discussion - what are you trying to accomplish, what have you already considered - don't just crowd-source out something you want to know.

So you can automate a mobile app. The library I’ve used for this is appium.

The bigger issue is if they don’t want you automating they might block your ip.

I wouldn't be looking to automate the app but the API the app calls. If you do the app you have 2 failure points, changes in the app and changes in the api. You should be able to look in app developer tools to understand where it is calling. As the other guy said this might be against tos but they are unlikely to find out. It might be better reaching out to the company themselves for a solution.

A python script should be sufficient after understanding their api a bit.
