The purpose of this bot is to get an Nvidia card. It tries multiple things to do that.
- Currently,
nvidia-snatcher
is not capable of purchasing a card for you - Scrapes multiple websites for patterns of being stocked
- API requests are a work in progress (very soon)
- Opens browser when stock is available
- Sends an email to you when stock is avaiable (must have Gmail)
What you may see if you're lucky

👉 You may get false positives from time to time, so I apologize for that. The library currently waits for all calls to be completed before parsing, but sometimes this can have unknown behavior. Patience is a virtue :)

running!

- git
- Clone this project
git clone https://github.com/jef/nvidia-snatcher.git
- Run
npm install
- Copy
.env.example
to a new file.env
and edit the.env
file to your liking using your favorite text editor- More on this in customization
- Run
npm run start
to start
At any point you want the program to stop, use Ctrl + C.
👉 Please visit the wiki if you need more help with installation.
The command npm run start:dev
can be used instead of npm run start
to automatically restart the project when filesystem changes are detected in the src/
folder or .env
