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](https://nodejs.org/en/)
- [git](https://git-scm.com/)
- 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](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
    - More on this in [customization](#Customization)
- Run `npm run start` to start

At any point you want the program to stop, use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>.

> :point_right: Please visit the [wiki](https://github.com/jef/nvidia-snatcher/wiki) if you need more help with installation.

#### Docker image (To run inside containers)

Available via GitHub Container Registry.

| Tag | Note |
|:---:|---|
| `latest` | Latest stable build |
| `nightly` | Latest HEAD build, could be unstable |

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.

### Customization

To customize `nvidia-snatcher`, make a copy of `.env-example` as `.env` and make any changes to your liking. _All environment variables are **optional**._

> :point_right: If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA), you will need to create an [app password](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords) and use this instead of your Gmail password.

> :point_right: You can find your computer's user agent by [searching google for "my user agent"](http://google.com/search?q=my+user+agent)

> :point_right: You can test your notification configuration by running `npm run test:notification`.

> :point_right: Data usage is [known to be high](https://github.com/jef/nvidia-snatcher/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Aupdated-desc+bandwidth). 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.
