programmatically
Through written code
Programmatically means through computer code rather than manual action.
When something is done programmatically, a program or script performs the task automatically: The system programmatically generates reports every morning.
The term contrasts with doing something by hand through a user interface: You can add users manually or programmatically via the API.
