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. :)
