Configuration

In the config folder a customer.json file and notifications.json file are used to configure the data used to auto fill the forms and to configure the bots notifications. To get started, copy and rename the two template files and customize the fields to your liking.

notifications.json

The bot can send multiple push notifications, including a screenshot attachment along the checkout process. See https://github.com/caronc/apprise#supported-notifications for more information. Add additional entries to the services dictionary in the notifications.json file for multiple providers. For each notification, a custom message can be set. Additionally, the screenshot attachment can be toggled per provider.

A couple of example URLs for different notification services:

• pover://user@token: Pushover
• tgram://bottoken/ChatID: Telegram
• discord://webhook_id/webhook_token: Discord

CAPTCHA

To enable CAPTCHA support, follow these steps.

1. Ensure you're using the latest code, ex. git pull. If using Git via the command line isn't your thing, you may just want to download this repo again.

2. Download the ReCaptcha Solver extension using the link https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/3423472/recaptcha_solver-3.7-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. We want to download the *.xpi file. Try using the link in a browser other than Firefox.

3. Put the *.xpi file inside the root of the nvidia-sniper directory.

   

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

5. 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.

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