Automately - A scalable web automation API for developers

Hey HN! Creator of Automately here. Although there's not much details on the site because we accepting only early access requests right now I can definitely give you a little more details. Developers will be able to write automation scripts and run them. The automation scripts are written in JavaScript using a custom API. You will be able to submit automation jobs via the Automately API. Your job will be submitted to a powerful cluster and ran as fast as possible. You will be able to interact with websites and do many many other things. Stay tuned for more details :)

How is this different from IFTTT [0]?

There are many things you could do with Automately! You could create new APIs that connect your services to other sites automating lots of things! For example you could create a banking API that connects developers to banking data. You could use Automately to connect to banks that offer online banking!

A simple script written in JavaScript. You write code using our automation API interacting with websites making clicks, anything you would normally do as a normal person interacting with a web browser except using JavaScript to do it! And a lot more!
