Automatic G.E. flipping/ merching bot

Wanted to build it for a really long time. Started working on it again, recently. To my surprise the endpoints still work.

What is it?
1) The script scrapes price data from web pages like ge-tracker, osbuddy and few more
2) Finds items that match the user-defined criteria
3) Buys the item low(er)
4) Sells the item high(er)
5) profit

The idea is to just run the script. The program itself will find the best items to flip, so I can just leave it be.

Why am I doing this?
I haven't really found anything like this on the market. Either you have to do a lot of the things manually or the logic behind the script is just awful. Plus I have some free time in evenings. Who knows for how long. But until then, I will continue the development.
Plus, I have never built any botting client scripts, so that would first.

What next?
Just finished rewriting the core.
* I also need to refactor code that handles price scraping from web pages.
* Add anti-ban
* Add buy-offer time-outs.
* Add sell-offer time-outs.
* Change prices dynamically (raise/ lower in small increments) after time-outs
* Take g.e. limits into account.
* Better the algorithm behind finding items to flip
* Collect data (profit, run-time, etc)
* ???
* THE ARMY OF FLIPPING BOTS

How much is done?
Very basic, still. It does find the best item to flip and, well, flips it. All the logic for scraping web-pages is also done. The amount of data I have for each item is pretty nice so I can apply better algorithms to find more appropriate items to flip.

Anti-ban?
Tho bans should be relatively low with this kind of script I still need to implement some anti-b.
For example, I don't need to be logged in ALL the time. Only log in once in a while to check on flips. Scraping doesn't require for the user to be logged in.



Just made this thread to keep myself on-track and have a place for updates/ log.

 

Goodluck with your project. Flipping bots are usually super profitable and really low chance on ban what I have heard + you can run high amounts of these bots to make your profits rise even higher, just make them flip different items and it should work.

 

Would love to see progress on this bot. Any updates on this?

 

oh wow.

I did a break on winter-time to concentrate on rsKombat again, so no real progress, sorry

 

I understand, definitely a genius concept here dude.

 

Yeah definitely interested. Would be genius.

 

A flipping bot is something you could sell for a decent amount of money if it works well.

 

@Pakora Aloo or Paneer tho?

 

Lol, aloo by far.

 

boiii! Paneer + Chaat Masala #1, get outta here!

 

Impossible to get proper desi paneer in Norway though.
