[quote="Anonymous"][quote="Cupid"]The API: gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1359 is an http call and response interface, so you can use any language that will interface with that.

Much of the Gixen interface is, I believe, written using PHP, but I don't think there is any particular advantage to you in using it as well.[/quote] Mark, I appreciate the quick response and direction.

Post subject: What would I need to know?
I run a small side business selling neck ties that I source from ebay. For the past several months, Gixen has been fundamental in allowing me to acquire inventory.
But, until now I haven't had an acquisition budget. Before now I have been playing it rather risky, placing more snipes that I could potentially pay for, knowing that only 1/2 will be effective. That has screwed me over, twice, so now I involve some spreadsheets and what not to be sure I am covered.
My question is what languages would I need to know if I wanted to build something that interfaced with Gixen (I'm assuming through the API?)? I want to build something that tracks all active Gixen bids in aggregate, compares that against my Paypal balance/sourcing budget for the month, and tells me whether I have enough to place more snipes or not.
I have other ideas too, but what I want to do is not the point (other than I have no desire to make a competing product with Gixen).
I haven't dabbled further with programming other than simple Java, but I do learn fast, have a lot of time, and have desire to know this stuff for use in jobs when I'm older.
But I have no idea what Gixen uses to make best use of my time. Can someone here point me toward what languages/tools I need to have an understanding of to build something with the Gixen API?
Thank you in advance!
