I Bought 30 Raspberry Pis for This Project...
In this video, I buy 30 Raspberry Pis to create a scalper bot to help secure PS5's and GPU's. I used a combination of web scraping and backend coding to achieve a bot that can detect if an item is in stock and auto-buy it as well. I used these Raspberry Pis to create 30 proxies. A proxy farm so to say. I needed a ton of rotating proxies so instead of paying for a service, why not make them myself? Watch to the end to see how I created everything and my thought processes.
