GPU Scraper

Personal GPU Scraper I'm working on which will also have purchasing abilities most likely near future.

How-To

1. Download the source code folder from release
2. Copy GPUScrapeBot-x.x.x folder to desired location
3. Open a terminal in the folder (or cd into folder)
4. Run with python run_scraper.py
5. Follow on-screen prompts

If all goes perfect, that should work. Possible issues mostly lie with Raspberry Pi, and potentially a personal Linux system.

Troubleshooting

Should something go wrong, most likely will be with drivers. A few possibilities will either be permissions or execution of file with bad system exec format.

Permissions

Try cd-ing to the file and running a chmod -x <filename> If this does not work...

1. Go to one of following and just download manually.
   • Chrome
   • Firefox
   • Opera
2. Unzip and place the driver file in GPUScraper-/mccaffertyp/driver_executables

Errno 8: exec format error

Only encountered this on my Raspberry pi 4 To fix, do the following:

1. Run sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
   • To make sure it downloaded, you can run chromedriver -v
2. Run whereis chromedriver
   • Should be in one of two locations:
     1. /usr/bin/chromedriver - This is where it was for me.
     2. /usr/lib/chromium-chromedriver/chromedriver - This never happened for me

Note: Packages should be downloaded with script, but may fail. In such case, either run again or manually install selenium for Python3

Browsers

Currently, there are only three supported web browsers:

• Chrome (v90 only - Windows, v88 only - Linux)
• Firefox (v47 above (according to Google), xxx - Linux needs manual installation)
• Opera (v90 only (based on chromedriver) - Windows, v90 only (based on chromedriver) - Linux)

Note: Versions may vary, these are just the versions I included already for your ease of use (hopefully)

Carriers

• AT&T
• Sprint
• T-Mobile
• Verizon
