Python 3 implementation of d3stryr-3stripes

Questions/Problems/Lurking: http://bit.ly/d3stripesQA

Requirements:

1. Python 3.5.2 - https://www.python.org/downloads/

   Required modules: selenium, requests, virtualenv (optional - but is used in the instructions)

   If you don't have virtualenv and want to be able to follow the directions completely then install it with:

   pip3 install virtualenv
   

   If you don't have pip3 already installed then install it with (assuming you have Python 3.5.x installed):

   easy_install-3.5 pip
   

2. chromedriver - https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

   Neededed to drive Chrome. Download the appropriate version for your OS.

   Windows users: place the chromedriver.exe file in the bin folder OR in C:\Windows folder.

   Mac/Linux users: place the chromedriver file in the bin folder.

Installing:

1. Either use git to clone this repository or click on "Download Zip"

2. Navigate to the d3stryr-3stripes or d3stryr-3stripes-master folder depending on what you did in step 1.

   I will assume that if you are using git clone then you already know how to navigate to the appropriate folder. For everyone else, unzip d3stryr-3stripes-master.zip. Then move the folder into your home directory. Then open up a terminal window and type the following to navigate to the d3stryr-3stripes-master folder:

   cd d3stryr-3stripes-master
   

3. Create a virtual environment (only needs to be done once per install):

   virtualenv -p python3 --no-site-packages env
   

4. Activate the virtual environment (needs to be done for once for an active session in your terminal):

   Mac/Linux:

   source env/bin/activate
   

   Windows:

   env\Scripts\activate
   

5. Install the requirements (needs to be done once per install):

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

That is all that is needed to install.

Configuring:

The only file that needs to be modified is config.cfg.sample. Rename it to config.cfg and read CONFIG.md

Running

If you are starting from a new terminal and the d3stryr-3stripes-master folder is in your home directory then navigate (change into) the d3stryr-3stripes-master folder:

cd d3stryr-3stripes-master

Make sure you have activated the virtual environment:

Mac/Linux:

source env/bin/activate

Windows:

env\Scripts\activate

Then you are ready to run:

Mac/Linux:

./destroyer/destroyer.py

Windows:

.\destroyer\destroyer.py

Program Flow

• The script will look up the either the Variant endpoint for inventory or the Client endpoint for inventory (or it may do both - with Client stock being used for the remainder of the run).
• The script will cycle through your size list and check to see if inventory value is greater than 0.
• If inventory is available it will attempt to cart that size.
• If processCaptcha = True then the script will attempt to get a captcha token.
• The script then builds the payload for the necessary add-to-cart request.
• If the response is successful then the script will open up a Chrome browser and attempt to transfer the session over.
• Chrome will try to access the main locale page first. Then waits several seconds and then navigates to the Cart-Show page.
• If you get an empty Cart-Show page but the basket in the upper-right has a "1" showing then refresh the page once using (CTRL-R or CMD+R)
• If nothing appears then quit the browser and move on to the next pair because any further refreshing will result in a soft-ban.

To-Do List

• Interface w/ a MySQL DB for token harvesting locally.

Not-Gonna-Do List

• Auto-checkout. I much prefer 10,000 people getting a pair versus 1,000 people getting 10 pairs.

Common Problems

• If the command pip3 install virtualenv does not work then you will need to install pip3. More than likely the command will be:

  easy_install pip3
  

  or

  easy_install pip
  

  If that doesn't work then Google "how to install pip3 python3" for your OS.

• If you get a browser window with "data;" as the URL then you will need to download the latest chromedriver version for your OS. See the instructions at the top of this README.

Common Curiosities

• Variant Inventory vs. Client Inventory - Client inventory provides the latest inventory for a given product (provided that the clientId is correct). The variant inventory does not reflect the latest inventory numbers - it has been observed to reflect the inventory on product release.
