I have a few months in early 2024 when I will not be working my normal day job. I have this (potentially pipe) dream to spend some time learning how to code with the Manifold API.

Resolves YES if by market close I create a bot account that executes at least 10 actions in a given 24-hour period without manual intervention.

In my head I’d ideally like to have it make trades or set limits based on a third-party sports or financial market API, but that might be overly aggressive. Just know that I might set my sights too high and not actually meet the deadline because of it.

I have no technical background and have never coded anything aside from very light importing of JSON into a Google Sheet. I have worked in software as a product manager for many years, so I have some basic understanding of data and APIs, but have never built anything myself.

I strongly encourage comments with pointers, tutorials, etc, as I haven’t as of this writing begun to think of how to get started. Even a video with step-by-step instructions that I could follow verbatim via a lot of copy/pasting, could qualify if I choose that path for positive resolution of this question.
