How is he actually completing the amazon purchase solely via a bot? I know there is no API to automagically buy an item from Amazon. Would love to see a write up of how this is accomplished. EDIT: Noticed he is using PhantomJS and running the process through a browser. Very interesting.

Apparently http://zinc.io http://zinc.io does provide an API for placing orders on Amazon.

  Learn something new everyday on HN! Didn't know this existed and I am wondering how they actually achieve this via Amazon but that's their secret sauce.
