nvidia-sniper

This bot helps us buy Nvidia Founders Edition GPUs as soon as they become available.

Note: This project is no longer being actively maintained. Nvidia stopped selling Founders Edition cards through their own store and transitioned to exclusively selling via 3rd-party retailers. To buy from those 3rd-party retailers, you can check out other projects like streetmerchant or fairgame.

Features

• Automatically checkout item using PayPal or as guest (credit card)
• Automatically submit the order for credit card payment
• Support for multiple locales (as defined in

  config/customer.json

• Support for multiple GPUs (as defined in

  data/gpus.json

  )

CAPTCHA

This bot is equipped with the ability to resolve simple reCAPTCHA on its own without the use of a third party reCAPTCHA solver. As long as you follow the recommendation in the usage section below, it is extremely likely that the bot will succesfully complete the full auto-checkout process. With that said, there is a very small possibility that you will be presented with a more advanced reCAPTCHA requiring solving image tasks that the bot cannot handle natively. If you would like to have a backup in place for that possibility, you have that option by following the steps below.

1. Download the ReCaptcha Solver extension using the link https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3423472/recaptcha_solver-5.7-fx.xpi. If you open this link in Firefox, it will automatically attempt to add the extension to your browser. That's not what we want. Right click the link and select "Save link as" to download the *.xpi file or try opening the link in a browser other than Firefox.

2. Put the *.xpi file inside the root of the

   nvidia-sniper

   directory.

   

3. Create an account using one of ReCaptcha Solver's supported APIs, ex. 2captcha. Deposit money into your account. A few :dollar: should be enough.

4. Start the bot as per the instructions in the Usage section. After you go through the bot's selection process, you should see the ReCaptcha Solver extension in the browser.

5. Copy your API key from the provider of your choice. Add this key to the extension. Also, enable the checkboxes as shown below.

customer.json

Usage

To use the bot, fill out

config/customer.json

cd nvidia-sniper
pipenv run python -m sniper

It is highly recommended that you use Firefox as your default browser and use it to log into Google services such as YouTube or Gmail. This dramatically reduces the possibility of reCAPTCHA requiring you to pass an image challenge during the bot's operation, thus enabling a fully automatic checkout without the need for manual intervention.
