Tool to help us buy a GPU in 2020

Installation | Usage | Discord | Troubleshooting

This project uses Pipenv to manage dependencies. Hop in my Discord if you have ideas, need help or just want to tell me about how you got your new 3080. TerryFrench has also created a youtube video detailing how to get this project running on Windows 10 as well. Huge thanks to him.

pip install pipenv
pipenv shell 
pipenv install

Run it

python app.py

Usage: app.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  amazon
  nvidia

Ok now we have a basic GUI. GUIs aren't my strong suit, but pretty much the top box is the settings for amazon and the bottom box is the settings for Nvidia.

• Open a chrome browser
• Log into Amazon
• Go to a product page
• Refresh the page until the 'Buy Now' option exists
• If the price is under the "Price Limit", it will buy the item.

Example usage:

python app.py amazon
Amazon Email []: hari@email.com
Amazon Password []: mypassword
Amazon Item URL []: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHDP9DW
Maximum Price to Pay [1000]: 1000

INFO: "2020-09-19 00:07:06,474 - Initial availability message is: Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.
INFO: "2020-09-19 00:07:06,494 - Refreshing page.
INFO: "2020-09-19 00:07:07,695 - Current availability message is: Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

You can also save your amazon config to your environment variables. This will set them as the defaults in the CLI to save time entering them each time.

MacOS and Linux Bash Shells

export  amazon_email=user@email.com
export  amazon_password=supersecurepassword
export  amazon_item_url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHDP9DW?
export  amazon_price_limit=1000

Linux csh/tcsh

setenv  amazon_email user@email.com
setenv  amazon_password supersecurepassword
setenv  amazon_item_url https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHDP9DW?
setenv  amazon_price_limit 1000

Windows

set amazon_email=user@email.com
set amazon_password=supersecurepassword
set amazon_item_url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HHDP9DW?
set amazon_price_limit=1000

• Call Digitalriver API to get product number for the GPU selected (2060S, 3080, 3090)
• Call Digitalriver API to check if the GPU is in stock until it is in stock
• Will open a window in your default browser with the GPU in your cart when it is stock.

Example usage:

python app.py nvidia
What GPU are you after?: 3080
What locale shall we use? [en_us]:

19092020 12:05:46 AM : Calling https://api.digitalriver.com/v1/shoppers/me/products/5438481700/inventory-status? : DEBUG -stores.nvidia
19092020 12:05:46 AM : Returned 200 : DEBUG -stores.nvidia
19092020 12:05:46 AM : Stock status is PRODUCT_INVENTORY_OUT_OF_STOCK : INFO -stores.nvidia

First be sure to have a Nvidia store account with all of your infos (billing address etc ...) already filled in). Then make a copy of autobuy_config.template_json and name it autobuy_config.json. Be sure to remove all the single-line comments, which are denoted with #. If this file exists and the credentials are valid, the bot will make a purchase for you.

{
  "NVIDIA_LOGIN": "fuckthesc@lpers.com",        # Your NVIDIA Store login
  "NVIDIA_PASSWORD": "12345",                   # Your NVIDIA Store password
  "FULL_AUTOBUY":false,                         # FALSE : Fill your infos but dont click on the last button / TRUE : Buy the card
  "CVV":"101",             # CCV code
  "BYPASS_ADDRESS_SUGGESTION":false             # Selects the address you entered not the one suggested
}

This is fairly basic right now. Just login to the best buy website in your default browser and then run the command as follows:

app.py bestbuy --sku [SKU]

Example:

app.py bestbuy --sku 6429440

This uses a notifications handler that will support multiple notification channels.

To enable Twilio notifications, first go to https://www.twilio.com/ and create a free account and get a Twilio number. Then make a copy of twilio_config.template_json and name it twilio_config.json. If this file exists and the credentials are valid, the notification handler will send you an sms when it carts or purchases an item.

{
  "account_sid": "ACCOUNT_SID",
  "auth_token": "AUTH_TOKEN",
  "from": "YOUR TWILIO NUMBER",
  "to": "THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO SEND SMS TO"
}

To enable Discord notifications, first get your wehbook url. Use the directions here to get the webhook url. Make a copy of the discord_config.template_json file and name it discord_config.json and place the webhook url here.

{
  "webhook_url": "Discord webhook url here"
}

To enable Telegram notifications, you have to create a new bot and get your chat id. Use the directions here (Creating your bot and Getting your Chat id sections).

Make a copy of the telegram_config.template_json file and name it telegram_config.json and place your BOT_TOKEN and BOT_CHAT_ID values here.

{
    "BOT_TOKEN" : "1234567890:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
    "BOT_CHAT_ID" : "111222333"
}

It is possible to notify multiple users at once. Just add a list as the BOT_CHAT_ID value:

{
    "BOT_TOKEN" : "1234567890:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
    "BOT_CHAT_ID" : ["111222333", "444555666"]
}

I suggest joining the #Support channel in Discord for personal assistance if these common fixes don't help.

Error: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary The issue is that chrome is not installed in the expected location. See Selenium Wiki and the section on overriding the Chrome binary location .

The easy fix for this is to add an option where selenium is used (amazon.py)

chrome_options.binary_location="C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Error: selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85

You are not running the proper version of Chrome this requires. As of this update, the current version is Chrome 85. Check your version by going to chrome://version/ in your browser. We are going to be targeting the current stable build of chrome. If you are behind, please update, if you are on a beta or canary branch, you'll have to build your own version of chromedriver-py.
