Welcome to the Amazon discussion board!

Anyway to update the bot to work in all stores? The Asus store has a different layout and the bot doesn't seem to work with it. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/0ED5CB33-20AF-4A01-BCA6-704EA968FDDD?ingress=2&visitId=0db5ff91-06e6-4a47-b197-8fa2d6904e3a&ref_=ast_bln

sorry, all websites have different HTML code and web elements so the bot will not work.

These are extremely stupid questions I realize but I'd rather be safe then sorry when dealing with something as expensive as a GPU.

Firstly, I live in Canada, so will this code work with Amazon.ca links as well? In addition, for the prices, would the "min_price" & "max_price" variable calculate for USD or would it be whatever number is listed on the page (in this case CAD)

Second, and I'm sure this is asked a lot, but does this bot stop after buying one card, or do I need to stop it manually?

[TreborNamor]

The bot will only work in US websites and stop automatically after one purchase.

I tried running it after some setup but I keep getting these errors. Any idea what might be causing it?

hey im pretty sure its because you got the wrong version of bs4 or webdriver so make sure you follow the instructions on this link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zYQ1W-htAN5aWVw5kMb5NLa7ZwZB47cwqNZao73eiK4/edit

Do it exactly like he does it and it should be fine. I was having the same issue as you. Let me know if it works.

[TreborNamor]

Typing this in the terminal will help with that problem.

pip install webdriver-manager==3.4.0

First of all, thank you very much for these scripts. Maybe some of us can actually get a video card for a new build! Screw the scalpers.

Second, I am running the script for specific cards, and it seems like the wait time for #priceblock_ourprice is way too long. Pretty much every card is "Currently unavailable" so this happens upon every page load and then must wait 300 seconds until it refreshes.

To my knowledge, I can't see how the script would capture a price if there is none available. That being said, they are hardly EVER available... But shouldn't the script be set to a lower wait time between looking for the priceblock? I have currently set it to 10 instead of 300 due to this...but it may not run correctly this way. Or will it?

Any advice would be great.

Thank you so much.

Same issue, how did you change the wait time??

Hello, really nice bot. Amazon.ca failed at the "place order" stage.

[KingFascinate]

Don't bother with this bot it doesn't work and he doesn't bother to fix it anymore

[mortega19]

Im trying to fix it, the only thing that doesnt work is the checkout

[TreborNamor]

The amazon bot has been updated today but i don't believe it will work in other countries. Every countries website has different HTML code and web elements so the bot will fail. If you have gotten to the last stage on Canada's website. You can right click that place order button and click inspect element. This will give you the name of the button you want to click so you can replace it within your script fail it had previously failed.

Am i supposed to have test mode on or off to purchase something cause i tried it on a pencil that was a $1.50 and then it ended up buying it while i had it on False and it came out to $15 maybe cause i have one click purchase on or something.
