I built this in response to the severe tech scalping situation that's happening right now. Almost every tech product that's coming out right now is being instantly brought out by scalping groups and then resold at at insane prices. $699 GPUs are being listed for $1700 on eBay, and these scalpers are buying 40 carts while normal consumers can't get a single one. Preorders for the PS5 are being resold for nearly $1000. My take on this is that if I release a bot that anyone can use, for free, then the number of items that scalpers can buy goes down and normal consumers can buy items for MSRP. If everyone is botting, then no one is botting.

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.

To get started you'll first need to clone this repository. If you are unfamiliar with Git, follow the guide on how to do that on our Wiki. You can use the "Download Zip" button on the GitHub repository's homepage but this makes receieving updates more difficult. If you can get setup with the GitHub Desktop app, updating to the latest version of the bot takes 1 click.

!!! YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE 3.8 BRANCH OF PYTHON, 3.9.0 BREAKS DEPENDENCIES !!!

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

Amazon flags

--no-image : prevents images from loading on amazon webdriver
--test : This will not finish the checkout

Make a copy of amazon_config.template_json and rename to amazon_config.json:

{
  "username": "",
  "password": "",
  "asin_groups": 2,
  "asin_list_1": ["B07JH53M4T","B08HR7SV3M"],
  "reserve_1": 1000,
  "asin_list_2": ["B07JH53M4T","B08HR7SV3M"],
  "reserve_2": 750,
  "amazon_website": "smile.amazon.com"
}

• username is your Amazon account email address
• password is your Amazon account password
• asin_groups indicates the number of ASIN groups you want to use.
• asin_list_x list of ASINs for products you want to purchase. You must locate these (see Discord or lookup the ASIN on product pages).
  • The first time an item from list "x" is in stock and under its associated reserve, it will purchase it.
  • If the purchase is successful, the bot will not buy anything else from list "x".
• reserve_x is the most amount you want to spend for ASINs in asin_list_x, ensures you don't buy scalper stuff.
• amazon_website amazon domain you want to use. smile subdomain appears to work better, if available in your country.

At run time, the bot will automatically prune ASINs that cause errors.

Example usage:

python app.py amazon --test

NOTE: As of October 19, 2020, NVIDIA has indicated that they are no longer selling the Founder's Edition on the NVIDIA store in the US. It is possible they may continue selling them in Europe at a future date, however the bot may not be functional if they modify the store interface before they add new cards to the website. At this point, the NVIDIA store portion of the bot is deprecated.

Will check stock and open an add to cart link in your browser and send notifications.

Nvidia flags

--test : runs a test of the checkout process, without actually making the purchase
--interval: How many seconds between each stock check (default: 5)

Example usage:

python app.py nvidia
What GPU are you after?: 3080
What locale shall we use? [en_us]:
...
INFO: "2020-09-23 21:43:56,152 - We have 1 product IDs for NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080
INFO: "2020-09-23 21:43:56,153 - Product IDs: ['5438481700']
INFO: "2020-09-23 21:43:56,153 - Checking stock for 5438481700 at 5 second intervals.

Quick run:

python app.py nvidia --gpu 3080 --locale en_us

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

python app.py bestbuy --sku [SKU]

Example:

python app.py bestbuy --sku 6429440

Notifications are now handled by apprise. Apprise lets you send notifications to a large number of supported notification services. Check https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki for a detailed list.

To enable Apprise notifications, make a copy of apprise_config.template_json in the config directory and name it apprise_config.json. Then add apprise formatted urls for your desired notification services as json blobs.

Apprise Example blobs:

[
  {
  "url": "tgram://{bot_token}/{chat_id}"
  },
  {
  "url": "twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{FromPhoneNo}/{PhoneNo}"
  },
  {
  "url": "slack://{OAuthToken}/#{channel}"
  }
]

To enable shock notifications to your Pavlok Shockwatch, store the url from the pavlok app in the pavlok_config.json file, you can copy the template from pavlok_config.template_json.

WARNING: This feature does not currently support adjusting the intensity, it will always be max (255).

{
  "base_url": "url goes here"
}

Once you have setup your apprise_config.json you can test it by running python app.py test-notifications from within your pipenv shell. This will send a test notification to all configured notification services.

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 (`selenium_utils.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.

1. Prereqs and Setup

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install chromium-chromedriver
git clone https://github.com/Hari-Nagarajan/nvidia-bot
cd nvidia-bot/
pip3 install pipenv
export PATH=$PATH:/home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.local/bin
pipenv shell 
pipenv install

2. Leave this Terminal window open.

3. Open the following file in a text editor:

/home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.local/share/virtualenvs/nvidia-bot-<RANDOMCHARS>/lib/python3.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py

4. Edit line 38 from self.path = executable to self.path = "chromedriver", then save and close the file.

5. Back in Terminal...

python app.py

6. Follow Usage to configure the bot as needed.

Yes. For example you can run one instance to check stock on the Nvidia store and a separate instance to check stock on Amazon. Bear in mind that if you do this you may end up with multiple purchases going through at the same time.

• For the Nvidia store, no. The Nvidia bot just notifys you when the desired card is in stock, and tries to add it to your cart. The rest of the checkout process is up to you.
• For Amazon, yes. The bot will try and auto-solve CAPTCHA's during the checkout process.
