nvidia-snatcher

FAQ | Issues | Wiki

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

Installation and prerequisites

Linux, macOS, and Windows are all capable operating systems.

You do not need any computer skills, smarts, or anything of that nature. You are very capable as you have made it this far. Some basic understanding how a terminal, git, and or Node.js is a bonus, but that does not limit you to getting nvidia-snatcher running!

Quick overview

Native installation

Node.js 14
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.

👉 If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA), you will need to create an app password and use this instead of your Gmail password.

👉 You can find your computer's user agent by searching google for "my user agent"

👉 You can test your notification configuration by running npm run test:notification.

👉 Data usage is known to be high. This is expected as the program scrapes many websites in parallel 24/7. To help reduce this, use LOW_BANDWIDTH="true". We are looking into other solutions as well, but is low priority.
