Function details:
Note: I was going to do this all in python but I could not figure out how to configure cookies, so I interface the python script to the API with automator (its messy but it gets it done). Then, to loop it: I have to use Applescipt (Automator does not have an infinite loop option).
I need the ability to patrol pages and a bot flag. (This is because currently the API limits me to 500 of the most recent pages, and I want to do more.) Tim1357 (talk) 17:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
