Amazon Purchase Script

Use at your own risk. Read thoroughly

This is a Python script that checks if an item is in stock, shipped by Amazon, and under a certain price limit. The script will then purchase the item with limited captcha solving abilities.

Example: script to buy a PS5 on Amazon (Please do not use this script for scalping, this is simply a free open source solution for those that want a console but are unable to get one due to market competitiveness)

forked from yosh1/amazon-automation

Notes of caution:

Things to check for on Amazon/potential edge cases:

  • Amazon 2FA (an option is to disable but this will expose your account to security problems)
  • 1 Click buy sometimes does not work. Sometimes it does.
  • Behavior is dependent on your default shipping address and payment method. Use at your own risk

Development:

TODO:

Detect when Amazon sends to captcha by detecting for text on the captcha page. After detecting, call the validate_captcha function.

Requirements:

This would be a good script to run headless on a raspberry pi or server

Logic/Behavior:

  1. Starts Selenium
  2. Loops the following until all attributes of the item are correct:

    1. Verifies item is in stock

    2. Verifies the price is less than the set maximum

    3. Checks to make sure the shipper is from Amazon.com

      NOTE: I used shipper instead of seller because quite a few items are not actually sold by Amazon. Change this on a case by case basis

  3. Logs in
  4. Adds to cart
  5. Checks out
