Nike-Bot


Just a bit of JS + PHP that, when loaded as a Chrome extension, aids in automating the first two steps of purchasing limited shoe releases from Nike via Twitter.

After clicking the @nikestore release link, the specified shoe size and amount are automatically added to your cart.

These two values are set inside autocart.js.

    var size = "12";
    var amount = 1;

Automating the first two steps of picking a size and amount doesn't seem very useful, but when limited release URLs are being hit by literally millions of people at once every second counts.

Nike's newest release platform is Twitter, sending out unique direct purchase URLs for each of its limited shoe releases to millions of thirsty sneakerheads around the globe. Some people started selling a "program" that would automatically add pairs to the user's cart that would "work on both Mac and PC". :/

This made me think that it was probably just a simple piece code that sets the size and amount values upon page load. This, coupled with the fact that they were selling it for $50-100 apiece, made me think I could write my own. Thus, nike-bot!

Set Up

  1. Fork the repo or, if you're not using git, download the .ZIP.
  2. Unzip master.zip. It contains 1 folder, master-nike-bot.
  3. Open Google Chrome.
  4. Go to Settings > Extensions. Tick the box next to 'Developer mode'.
  5. Click on 'Load Packed Extension' button to the left.
  6. Double click nike-master-bot, then chrome-extension, then autocart.js. This will load it as a Chrome extension.

That's it! Now just click on a @nikestore release link and watch it do its thing.

If you edit autocart.js at all, such as modifying the size or amount values, you'll have to go back into Chrome > Settings > Extensions and click 'Reload' under nike-bot.
