Usage

To test the script

  1. Open the constants.js file and replace the values for EVENT_URL, MINIMUM_PRICE, executablePath and userDataDir.
  2. Enter your payment credentials with the CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER, EXPIRATION_DATE, CVC and CARDHOLDER_NAME variables if you wish to make an actual purchase.
  3. Open Google Chrome and login to your Facebook account. If asked, tell Facebook to remember this browser.
  4. Quit Chrome entirely
  5. In the puppeteerConfig variable, change the headless value to false in order to see if the bot is working. You may want to use an event for which there are tickets available to see it reach the final step of payment. The bot will not make an actual purchase as long as you havent set the constant IS_FOR_REAL to true.
  6. Launch the bot with the following command
node script.js
  1. If the bot reaches the last payment with your test ticket, you can now replace the EVENT_URL with the desired event and set the IS_FOR_REAL variable to true.
  2. You can now setup a crontab to have the bot run every minute (for example).
