nvidia-snatcher

The purpose of this bot is to get an Nvidia card. It tries multiple things to do that.

  • Currently, nvidia-snatcher is 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)

Installation and prerequisites

Linux, macOS, and Windows are all capable operating systems.

You do not need any computer skills, smarts, or anything of that nature. You are very capable as you have made it this far. Some basic understanding how a terminal, git, and or Node.js is a bonus, but that does not limit you to getting nvidia-snatcher running!

Quick overview

Native installation

  • Node.js 14
  • git
  • Clone this project git clone https://github.com/jef/nvidia-snatcher.git
  • Run npm install
  • Copy .env.example to a new file .env and edit the .env file to your liking using your favorite text editor
  • Run npm run start to start

At any point you want the program to stop, use Ctrl + C.

👉 Please visit the wiki if you need more help with installation.

Use docker run --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -it --rm --env-file ./.env ghcr.io/jef/nvidia-snatcher:nightly to run.

Developer notes

The command npm run start:dev can be used instead of npm run start to automatically restart the project when filesystem changes are detected in the src/ folder or .env file.

👉 You can find your computer's user agent by searching google for "my user agent"

👉 You can test your notification configuration by running npm run test:notification.

👉 Data usage is known to be high. This is expected as the program scrapes many websites in parallel 24/7. To help reduce this, use LOW_BANDWIDTH="true". We are looking into other solutions as well, but is low priority.
