Given that i didn't find any topics about this, i'll ask here:
i'm currently experimenting with python scripts (learning to code) and especially Selenium scripts granting the opportunity to interact with websites.
I was wondering if a script that daily clicks on the "collect points" button would be in violation of the Code of Conduct or TOS
the script logs in to a personal account and navigates to the points collection page, then clicking on the button.
given that:
- it is used privately (not commercially).
- it doesn't spam, flood, or aggressively scrape the site.
- Account access is granted manually the first time then cookies are used.
- it is not automating in-game behavior or altering gameplay or game files.
I would like to ask any staff member(possibly with knowledge on the matter) if such program would violate the before mentioned contracts.
I would not even ask if the TOS and COC were clear on the matter, the first doesn't even mention anything about automated access to the website and the COC only gives statements regarding in-game scenarios.
The program shouldn't even be subject to the COC(the only thing here that mentions bots) since not interacting with the game itself.
It would be automating personal information input and interactions with the website and it would be doing so using methods not even remotely taken into account by the rules of the in-game server nor website.
Given that there's nothing mentioned in the TOS, legally i could be doing it even without asking since i wouldn't be even scraping any data...
