nvidia-snatcher 
The purpose of this bot is to get an Nvidia card. It tries multiple things to do that.
- Currently,
nvidia-snatcheris 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

The library currently waits for all calls to be completed before parsing, but sometimes this can have unknown behavior. Patience is a virtue :)
