Especially useful for batch HITs on mTurk.

Auto-Accept: URL
Using an auto-accept URL is an advanced way to automatically accept a specific HIT. Below is an example of a URL set up to automatically accept HITs. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/ previewandaccept?group Id=260LVCNHMVHZV8YOP6B2H4J7DKX02G

You can continue to work as long as there are HITs in your queue.

Note : mTurk will prompt your refreshing tab with a CAPTCHA after 35 HIT's. Open a separate tab or new window with a batch HIT from a different requester (i.e. CrowdSource) which you can quickly accept and the return.
