API for posting and canceling trades?
APIs will be only providing read actions for the foreseeable future.
It would be really awesome if we had a special bank-like tab for auctions with api. Then, you could sell more space and more capacity for gems.

Are there plans for allowing API trades or at least for canceling existing orders on the TP? Or would that be considered to be an unfair advantage?
How does that benefit the community as a whole rather than just the small subset of us who are good at “playing” the TP?

That would be a serious hole in account security, I’d imagine
I hope this will never happen

I pray that never happens, because the the entire TP economy would be overrun by bot wars, and everyone would feel compelled to try and run their own bot just to keep up.
Let’s keep the playing game inside the game.
I quote the users above that hope this will neve happen.
Yup, would be so easy to write TP bots then. I think this will never happen.
EDIT:
Well one could use some technique like CAPTCHA for every action you want to make but then there’s still a chance that this gets exploited.

Given it typically costs <$0.01/CAPTCHA, that’s not really a good solution.
To echo the previous response, there are no plans to ever expose buying/selling items on the trading post. Endpoints that modify the account/character blobs aren’t technically feasible without significant architectural changes.
