ISUTicketSniperBot

Inspiration

I want to buy a cheap ticket for the Iowa vs Iowa State game, but didn't have the time to keep refreshing the page and beat others to the cheapest ticket. So I use the power of a computer bot to buy a tickets.

What it does

Setups purchases for buying tickets from ISU Ticket Trader Facebook group.

How I built it

I used node.js and Selenium, to build an automation bot that looks at the first five posts on the Facebook group and buys the cheapest ones.

Challenges I ran into

Getting captcha blocked and, getting node.js setTimeouts, to work correctly.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I did this all by myself and complete a simple poc of Facebook Ticket Sniper Bot.

What I learned

I learned how to use node.js and Selenium.

What's next for ISUTicketSniperBot

Getting it work. :)
