Installation

Clone this repository via Git. Once cloned, run

npm install

to download node modules.

You may also need to install the specific firefox version of puppeteer and firefox nightly. To do this, run

PUPPETEER_PRODUCT=firefox npm i puppeteer

Configuration

You can edit the best buy product page url (currently set to Nvidia RTX 3070 Founders Edition) and price limit on line 9 and 10 of purchaseProduct.js.

You will need to set up a .env file in the root directory to utilize the bot. To do this, navigate to the bestest-buy-bot folder and add a file named '.env'. The file contents should be as follows (substituting your information within the quotation marks):

FIRST="FIRST_NAME"
LAST="LAST_NAME"
STREET="STREET_ADDRESS"
STREET2="APARTMENT_NUMBER"
CITY="CITY"
STATE="STATE"
ZIP="ZIPCODE"
EMAIL="EMAIL"
PHONE="PHONE"
NUMBER="CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER"
EXPIREMONTH="CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_MONTH"
EXPIREYEAR="CREDIT_CARD_EXPIRATION_YEAR"
CVV="CREDIT_CARD_SECURITY_CODE"
DISCORD="DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL"

**make sure to leave the quotation marks in place
**leave STREET_2 blank if apartment number not applicable

Usage

Auto-purchasing is disabled to avoid accidental purchasing. To enable auto-purchase, uncomment lines 172-177 in purchaseProduct.js.

To start bot, navigate to bestest-buy-bot folder in command line interface and type

pm2 start index.js

To stop bot, type

pm2 stop index.js

To monitor bot after initiating bot startup, type

pm2 monit

To view bot logs, type

NOTE: pm2 logs and pm2 monit will log an error within puppeteer:

TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of null

This is normal and does not impact bot performance.
