Purchase Bot

This is node.js bot that can purchase items off of Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. It can also provide discord notifications of in stock items. I do not guarantee that this bot will catch every item it is monitoring that goes in stock. I also don't guarantee that this bot will successfully buy your item when it goes in stock. Because of the nature of webpages constantly changing, crashing, or not loading, my bot is error prone. I am also not a perfect developer lol. The discord notifications are a good backup in case the purchase does not work.

This bot is a work in progress. Future iterations will probably be more reliable and have new features. Eventually, I want this hosted on a cloud service such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Heroku, but figuring out how to use puppeteer on the cloud is easier said than done.

I am not responsible if you somehow get yourself in trouble with this bot or buy something that you didn't intend to buy lol

buyerConfig.json

    "amazon":{
        "amazonUsername":"",
        "amazonPassword":""

    },
    "buyItems":true, //set to false if don't want it to try to buy (only want discord notifications)
    "headless":true, //set to false if you want to watch the bot do its thing
    "products":[ // you can set any number of products. But the more products that you have, the less likely you are to catch items that go in and out of stock very quickly.
