Eventbrite Sniper

Watches Eventbrite and obtains a ticket spot using firefox through Selenium. Once a spot in the queue has been obtained, the link is sent by both SMS and email accordingly to the settings provided.

Caveats

This relies on finding a "Register" button in the DOM. It is very liable to break in the case of the CSS changing.

Notifications

Twilio is used to send text messages. Sendgrid is used to send emails.

Running It

First run Selenium:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar

Then run the sniper.

go build
source your_settings_file.sh
./eventbrite_sniper

(there's also a pre-built binary located here)
