Thanks for bringing this up, but there are already multiple bots in existence, most of which run rampant in the Korean and Chinese communities. Some are or can be API-based (as you've rightfully observed here), while others use less ingenious methods to directly interdict information from the servers itself. A quick stroll on places like komica is really all you need to figure out what people are using, and I'd rather not bring it up here.

To be honest, I'm personally unsure releasing such information is a good idea. The people making and updating such "black software" as they're commonly called are aware of it already, and I fear this will only encourage script-kiddie equivalents to try to do things which could result in unforeseenable reprecussions for the community.
