Programmatically Post in Thread

We have an event coming up that I would like to be able to have a programs I have written that displays data on TVs at my house be able to create a post in specified thread as I update it on my end.  For context it is for the NFL draft next Thursday.  As I make a selection here (ie what pick, team, player), it updates all my TVs to display player info, best available left, teams draft picks, etc.  So I would like it to either create a post saying who was taken or upload an image I would host externally to show in the thread with more detail.  I thought about doing something at the top or a separate page for this, but I want it to update live and not have to have people scroll back to original post or to the top each time.  Is something like this possible with ProBoards?  Sorry if the explanation was bad, still trying to iron out details.  

Edit:  And after looking around I now realize this is likely the wrong forum to post this in so my apologies.  Not sure if I can move it myself though.

There is no way to make anything automated when it comes to posts, as all requests to PB's servers (such as submitting a post) are required to be made manually by a human user.
