Phoenix Bot

Discord

Phoenix Bot is inspired by Natewong1313's Bird Bot project yet due to lack of activity by their team. We have decided to revive this project to achieve a common goal. Due to the recent insurgence of botters/scalpers taking advantage, our goal is to enable everyone the ability to combat these botters/scalpers by implementing their own botting system. Currently, this auto-checkout bot will support Walmart, Best Buy, Gamestop, & Target. There are more plans for future implementations later on.

• Easy to use interface built on PyQt5
• Waits for items to restock if they are out of stock
• Optional price checker
• Lighting fast auto-checkout

Target Signin error work around - Wait for target browser to launch, once it's refreshing on product page, open new tab in browser, navigate to target.com and signin manually, then close that tab.

Contributing

This project uses pip-compile with the --generate-hashes flag to validate dependencies via checksums. This helps prevent updates to existing package versions on PyPI from adding new code to our project. When changing requirements, make updates in the requirements.in file, then compile using the command below to update requirements.txt before committing.

pip-compile --generate-hashes --no-index --output-file=requirements.txt requirements.in

If you receive an error when running this command related to pinning a version of pip, make sure your system or virtualenv pip version is up to date by running the following command:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
