Just to clarify, you don't have any problem with people posting API clients (etc) on Github?

It seems to be encouraged: "We have per-level leaderboards which give people a meaningful number to golf on, and additionally, we have discretion to (automatically or after human review) award additional badges for going above-and-beyond on a level. We’ll also do that outside of levels, too — I can imagine issuing badges for people who, e.g., write OSS clients for our API, submit documentation patches, responsibly report security issues, etc." - http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/08/20/designing-and-building-stockfighter-our-programming-game/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/08/20/designing-and-building-s...

We have no problems with OSS API clients. (I've mentioned previously, but given that it is 2015, I'd expect most developers given the task "Do something with a novel API" to immediately start looking for the OSS client rather than sending in raw HTTP requests.) Our community has several of them ready to go: https://discuss.starfighters.io/t/helpful-external-tools/136 https://discuss.starfighters.io/t/helpful-external-tools/136 The more the merrier! We'd prefer if folks exercised discretion with regards to posting solutions; many of our players find the existence of them anywhere demotivating.

  I knew I'd read it somewhere, but just wanted to check anyway. Not finished yet but: https://github.com/vertis/stockfighter-trading-api-ruby https://github.com/vertis/stockfighter-trading-api-ruby Edit: And I can't post to that thread since I don't have an account yet (client based on the documentation) ;)

    Please send me an email. I will give you a invite code to the beta, which will let you create an account to put your client up on the forum thread. (HNers who did not already spend a metric truckload of time writing clients: give us until tomorrow afternoon, please.)

      Did so, but will happily wait as well :)

    Edit Again: Is actually finished now, to the extent I can do without an actual account.

    Here's another one :-) https://github.com/donovanhide/stockfighter https://github.com/donovanhide/stockfighter Based on the docs and only tested against the unauthenticated endpoints so far...

  All the Really Good Hackers are now heads-down writing ridiculously fast, OSS-but-completely-incomprehensible clients in Erlaskelleron that will be unbeatable for performance, ease of use, and phoning home trading strategies.
