Browser-Based Buy Bot for BestBuy Xbox Series X or PS5

README.md

Browser-Based Buy Bot for BestBuy Xbox Series X or PS5 (Tested on BestBuy.ca)

This is not made for scalping. It is made for people who just want a dang console.

I made this to run in my Google Chrome web browser. You will need to leave a tab open. When the console is seen as available it will be added to your cart, default confirmations will be selected then you will be brought to the payment information page. Once it makes it to the payment information page a sound will play and an alert popup will appear.

If it is out of stock it will just wait 2 minutes and refresh.

This script will not complete any checkout processes. It will not process any purchases against your payment information. It only gets you to the payment information input page.

You should already be logged in and you should add your payment details in the Account page before hand.

#How to use :

  1. Open Google Chrome
  2. Install a Browser Extension that allows you to run custom javascript on the website.
  1. Open a Tab at https://bestbuy.ca
  2. Once installed click the CJS icon in the top right of the browser window.
  3. Paste the code from the buyFromBestBuy.js file and press Save.
  4. Refresh and it will become active. You can see the log posts in the Developer Console of your web browser.

This can technically work in any browser. You just need a module to run the custom code each time page refreshes.

Hello, I honestly have very little experience with coding, but I just want to buy a Xbox series X. I've tried for almost a year without luck, so I'm turning to bots. I cant seem to find anyone with a bot for microsoft.com which seems to be in stock most often. Do you know of any such bot that would monitor the status and auto buy from microsoft? If not, is there an adaptation for this code to autobuy? I do not have access to my phone or computer very often (nature of my job) and I don't want to miss an opportunity. I have tried hot stock, etc. and it doesn't help. Thank you!

@Helpmebuyaconsole did you get a series x yet? I have one I’ll sell you for $550. That’s what you’d pay after tax
