This is a jury rigged solution but it may help.

I found a way to automate linode( or any site for that matter). My solution can only automate, it isn't a replacement for an API (but automation is all I need).
The answer is Lynx scripts. Lynx is a text (console web browser).
In lynx you use the keyboard to navigate websites and you can have lynx record your key strokes on a given site to a file and then play them back later (lynx script).
Create a script at the command-line type:
Code:
lynx -cmd_log=filename siteURL
Then do what ever task you want to automate and press q ( to quit) when done.
Run script:
Code:
lynx -cmd_script=filename siteURL
You must use the same file and url or it won't work.
