API to send bitcoins from paper/cold wallet?

I am making a program which will take a .wif private key, and send all funds from the wallet represented by the key to a certain address. I need this to be fully automated, but I can't seem to find any simple API which can send from a .wif. Thanks!

You can just do it yourself instead of having to send a 3rd party your private keys. Here's one that I wrote using nodejs and bitcore-lib that takes a WIF and sends all funds to a different address.

Thanks for this. While looking around i discovered bitcoinjs-lib, which i will just be using to generate a transaction then use some api to broadcast that (don't want to have to sync blockchain for this). – markasoftware – 2017-03-22T04:12:35.480
