Hi HN

With Cruxbee, you can:

- Launch a website and online store in just a few minutes

- Use your own domain or host on ours

- Share everything about your business

- Connect analytics and optimize for SEO

Show HN: Gunbot – self-hosted trading bot (lifetime license, ETF, CEX and DeFi)

Hacker News - Fri, 05/23/2025 - 6:55am

Hi HN,

I’ve been building and maintaining *Gunbot*, a trading-automation engine you install on your own hardware (or a lightweight VPS). Most bots in this space are SaaS products that bill you every month; we believe in a *lifetime-license model* instead—pay once, keep it forever, no feature gating later.

Why it might interest builders and algo-traders here:

• *Runs locally* – execution, logs, and keys remain under your control. • *CEX + DeFi ready* – plugs into Binance, Coinbase, etc., but also dYdX, PancakeSwap, and Hyperliquid. • *Hackable strategy layer* – drop your own JavaScript snippets to shape entry, exit, and risk logic. • *One-time cost* – usually cheaper than a single year of the common $30-$100/mo bots.

I’d love feedback on:

1. Any blockers you see in running a self-hosted bot safely? 2. Which additional DeFi venues or risk-management tools would make you trust it more? 3. Whether the lifetime model resonates with you compared to perpetual subscriptions.

Docs, pricing tiers, and full changelog are on the site. Happy to answer questions or share implementation details in the thread.

— Gunbot maintainer

How to Access MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India) APIs for Company Data?

Hacker News - Fri, 05/23/2025 - 6:15am

I want to programmatically access company or director-related data from the MCA portal (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India).

After exploring the site, I couldn't find any publicly documented APIs. My goal is to fetch company master data, director details, or filing information for automation or analysis.

My questions:

Does MCA provide any official or public APIs for developers?

Is there a way to get access to these APIs via registration or service agreements?

Are there any reliable third-party providers who expose this data via APIs?

Is it legally permissible to scrape public data from MCA (as a fallback)?

I found some API providers like:

Tofler

Zauba

ClearTax

But I’m not sure how reliable or official they are.

Any guidance on best practices or documentation links would be helpful. Thank you!
