Sneaker Bots, Proxies, Servers Explained - Beginners Guide Part 2

welcome to part two of my beginner's guide to sneaker botting in 2020 in this video i'll be explaining proxies such as residential data center when to use them and how to put them into your bot then after i explain proxies i'll bring you into a sneaker bot and show you task creation for different sites like easy supply adidas shopify sites footsites etc and i'll show you actually how tasks are made going over things like keywords links and then lastly i'll go over servers so when to use a server why it's needed and i'll show you how to set up a server on aws if you want a bit of a background on sneaker botting and sneaker reselling then you should go check out part one linked in the top right here and of course there is part three after this which i'll go over more stuff like captchas and billing profiles stuff like that so there's been a big problem on my channel recently where over 70 of the viewers aren't actually subscribed i don't know about you but i'd rather be subscribed with post notifications on because in the past i've done giveaways for people that have post notifications on i've actually given away an ios spot so i might do something like that soon so definitely be sure to stick around and hit the bell and lastly if you're looking for a specific topic in this video there are time stamps in the description and in the comments section so you can just skip to any part that you're looking for alright with that being said let's get into the first part of this video proxies so as you may or may not know an ip address is basically a number that defines your internet and your computer's access to the internet so whenever you connect to the site that site can see your ip address now this comes into play because say if you're running like 50 or 100 different tasks and all those tasks are trying to check out the shoe on the site the site's gonna be like hey why are you sending so many requests from the same ip address or just gonna block you and that might even happen if you're only running like three tasks or something so sites are pretty strict about ip addresses sending requests to their site so that's where proxies come in and that's why they're important a proxy is pretty much an additional ip address that you could use in your sneakerbots so your tasks will each have a different proxy and therefore the site won't see that you're sending requests from the same device so a perfect example of it is tasks in a sneaker bot say if you're running 10 tasks that means 10 different instances are trying to get on the site and check out the shoe at the same time but if you do that from one ip address chances are that ip is going to get banned so that's why you might have 10 proxies for 10 tasks so each task has different proxy to run on the site now it's not that simple as there are multiple kinds of proxies there are two main ones there are data centers and residentials so data center proxies are usually the quick proxies they're pretty cheap and they're very fast however the problem is they can get filtered and easily banned by the site so you might have a whole group of data center proxies that just get immediately banned from the site really easily but the benefit to them is that they're very quick and on sites like shopify that you might need really quick speed data centers can help also generally when you buy data centers you can run them as much as you want during that period that they're active so you might buy data centers for three days or one day and you could run them as much as you want as long as they're not banned of course then on the other side you have residentials these are the solar ones sometimes they're more expensive but they're much harder for the sites to ban and generally you won't see an entire subnet or entire group of residential proxies banned like you would with data centers they're a lot harder to filter through and filter out so with data centers usually you buy based on a number of them so you might buy like 10 or 50 or 100 data center proxies now with residential proxies you usually buy based on a data plan so you probably won't buy like 10 or 50 or 100 residentials chances are you'll buy it via a data plan and pretty much that means you can generate like 10 or 100 or a thousand residential proxies but it's based on how much you use them so as you use them your data usage will go up and pretty much you buy a certain amount of data so say you might buy a 2 gigabyte proxy data plan so you might be able to generate 10 residentials or 100 or a thousand residential proxies and that doesn't really matter it's based on how much you run them so if you run a thousand proxies that's going to eat through your data pretty quickly sometimes now that you know a little bit about the two different proxy types you should try to figure out when to use these proxies so a kind of rule of thumb is that residentials will work on most sites and data centers while they're faster they might work on a few select sites so if you're unsure it's probably better to go with a residential data plan and maybe just buy some data center proxies for specific sites or a site that you know residentials will be too slow on for example i have a residential data plan that's a couple gigabytes and i run that usually for sites like easy supply foot locker foot action etc meanwhile i'll use some data center proxies for a site like supreme so the general breakdown is supreme you could usually get away with data center proxies as well as some data center proxies do work on shopify still and you might find some data centers that work on foot sights and adidas slash easy supply but it might be a bit tough to find them meanwhile residentials they'll really work on all sites but if you use residentials on something like supreme it'll probably be too slow again sites like supreme and shopify are more about speed while foot sights and yeezy supply is more about consistently retrying and not necessarily the millisecond speed that you need on supreme now the last thing about proxies i want to mention is that sometimes residentials will need something called ip auth or ip authentication which pretty much just through whichever proxy provider you buy it from to use those proxies you'll have to authenticate your ip address so for example if i wanted to run a sneakerbot on my home computer using residentials that i needed to authorize my ip i would look up what is my ip on google copy that and then whichever system or whichever proxy provider i bought from i would authorize my ip through that usually most product providers will have like a discord bot or some type of online dashboard that you can authorize your ip address now that proxy tag is over i'm going to bring you into a sneakerbot i'll show you how to create tasks for different sites how to put in your proxy select a size and also the different types of ways that the bot can find the product on the site because that varies from site to site i do want to mention i'll be using cyber aio for this tutorial which is one of the most well known bots and most stable bots however task creation varies from batabot pretty widely so the way that you create a task in cyber might not be exactly the same that you would create a task in something like phantom but the same general concepts still apply so i'm in the bot here and most sneaker bots run in terms of tasks so a task you could think of as a person going on the site and trying to buy the shoe so if you're running 10 tasks that's kind of like 10 people going on the site and buying a shoe so again that's why it's important to have a different proxy for each one so just off the start a good rule of thumb is one to one proximity task ratio so for each task you have have one proxy so if you want to run 100 tasks have 100 proxies now you could even have more proxies than tasks so let's say you have 200 proxies and 100 tasks that would be all right each task would kind of have two proxies available to it if you think of it that way but at minimum one-to-one proxy to task ratio so in the bot to create a task it's going to be different for each site you want to run so for example the way you find a product on a foot site is much different than the way you find a product on shopify which is different from adidas yeezy supply and that's different from supreme so i'm going to go through each one here first starting with shopify and then i'll go to foot sites adidas easy supply and supreme so with shopify first we see we can select the store here now most sneaker bots will have some type of store selection and you'll see there are a ton of shopify sites here right so that goes back to what i was mentioning in part one where shopify is kind of like a platform that a bunch of sites run on so shopify is not just one site it's hundreds of thousands of sites and if your sneakerbot supports shopify it'll support every single one so even if it's not on this list i can do a custom one but for this example i'll be using one of the most well-known shopify sites for sneaker botting kith so i type in kith here and we see we have a bunch of options here but first i'll go to size b that's pretty self-explanatory most sneaker bots will have random or if there's only one size maybe something like a belt would only be one size or you could select a specific size i'll just do random for this example now we see here we have keyword url or variant and this is for shopify specifically so pretty much what we need to do is tell the bot which product to go for and there are a couple ways of doing that the easiest one to figure out is url so that would just be the url of the product so for example if i'm on kith here that would just be this url at the top i can copy this and put it in the bot and then the bot knows to go for this product now the problem is sometimes you won't always have this link before the drop a lot of stores do load the product beforehand and a group like a cook group would be able to give you this link before the drop but you're not always going to have this link before the drop and when you don't have this link then you have to go to other alternatives for example keywords so keywords are pretty much telling the bot to search the site for a product with these specific words in the title so i'll give you an example and it should make some sense so we're on kith and we have a product here that's the puma classic public enemy clyde in high risk red so pretty much i want to tell my bot to go for this shoe so what i need to do is come up with specific words that will be in the title so the bot knows to go for this product and only this product and no other products on the site so this could be kind of difficult to come up with before the drop because you obviously don't know the title of the shoe before the drop so what you'll have to do is kind of look at their instagram post or look at something where they name the product and kind of go off what keywords you'll think will be in the product title also when making keywords it's pretty important that you be very safe with this because if you mess up your keywords you could end up checking out the wrong product and that's not what you want to do at all so you'd rather be safe than sorry and not pick up the product then pick up the wrong product so for this shoe i'll make up keywords puma classic public enemy clyde and high risk red so i'm gonna be pretty specific here so in cyber the way that you separate keywords is with a comma but other bots might have you put a plus symbol in front of keywords or just separate the myspace it really just depends on the bot now additionally you could do negative keywords so if there's a word that you don't want to be in the product title you could put a negative keyword to say all right look for a product with the title with these words in it and not with these words in it so that's what a negative keyword is and positive keywords are but for this product i'm not going to do any negative keywords right now most spots will have some type of modes that you'll have to use depending on the site so the sites with heavy bot protection you might use like a safe mode or a safe preload mode meanwhile sites without broad protection you'll use some type of fast mode but that's pretty bot specific so i'm not going to go into exactly what these modes do right now as a difference based on each bot in each situation that you want to run so profile this is your billing profile that you select that you'll make in the billing tab of your bot now i'll go over billing profiles making them and exactly what to do with your address in part three and i also have previous videos on that if you want to check it out but that will be in part 3 of this series so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it but for now i'm just going to use the test profile which has all fake information so i'm not actually going to check out this product so proxies this is where we'll select what proxies this task should use so if i go to the proxies tab of the spot we can see i could add some proxies in this box and it tells me the format to put these proxies in that's usually the format that you get them sent in and pretty much what i would do is paste the proxies from the proxy provider and press add and then in my task i would select that proxy list so for right now i'm just going to select this io2 proxy list which just has some basic data center proxies that i pay for now some bots will have a shipping rate feature basically what you could do is generate a shipping rate beforehand so it doesn't have to do it during the drop but it's really not that important so i'm going to skip over that for now and lastly account some shopify sites will need account like undefeated concepts they'll both need accounts however kith does not need an account so i won't have to do it lastly on most spots you can schedule a task to run at a certain time so if you're not on your computer you could schedule it but i'm not going to do that for this example so pretty much i'm going to create this task and let's run it so as i'm running it i'm not actually picking up the product and i believe that's just because the bot is searching in a different part of the site i think it's searching like the most recent products and the one i chose as an example is not a recent product that's my best guess but of course these keywords would still be accurate for that product title and if the shoe was dropping on the site then it would be in the new releases tab so i wouldn't really have to worry about this issue so i finally found a product that'll work on the bot i believe it's just because where the bot was searching was not exactly where i was looking for the product but that wouldn't be a problem on the drop day so to my keywords for this product i would use like converse chuck 70 high and then specify a color like green so that's exactly what i have here and i actually figured out that those proxies that i had where data center were actually banned on kith which makes sense because they banned a lot of proxies so i'm just going to use no proxy for this test but if i run this then it's getting to check out and it'll try to submit the order however i'm not gonna let it go through because there's no need because it'll just get declined anyway now instead of saying green which is a positive keyword right now let me say minus green which is a negative keyword now if i run with minus green it's not going to pick up that product it'll pick up a different one we see here black forest it's a different colorway without the color green so that pretty much means pick up a product with converse chuck 70 high minus green so that's not green so that's pretty much a way that you can specify which product you actually want to go for so that's keywords i explained url and lastly variant on every shopify site each product size has a variant so a size like three will have a variant size four or five size nine size nine point five ten they'll all have a different variant which is basically just a number so what you could do is just if you have that variant instead of the keyword of the url you can put paste that variant in so let's say this is a variant this is a variant for that product we were going for before if i put in the variant that's for a specific size so this variant is for size 13 so it doesn't actually matter what i put in the size category because this variant represents a size 13. so if we go it's waiting for a restock because size 13 actually isn't in stock for that product but that's another way to do it to get the variance you can right click and go down on the page and type in var meta and then that'll come up with all the variants here there are also different endpoints and urls that you can get the variant from but the easiest way honestly is just to get it from a quick group usually cook groups will post a link with all the variants so that's another way to run so for shopify the three ways to run you have keywords url and variant i know that's pretty complicated but don't worry all the other sites are much easier to run shopify is really the only complicated one to run everything else is pretty straightforward now the last note about keywords is that sites will sometimes mess with the keywords so they might not put so they might not put the product title as you expect and pretty much you just have to adapt on the fly and look at a restock monitor again which is why code groups are helpful so you can see what the product is actually called and you can get the link right away and then change your tasks in your bot to that link so next i'm going to show you foot sites so that includes footlocker production champs and east bay as well as many other sites that aren't foot sites but function in the same way as you could usually use a sku the sku is basically the product number that you can get from the site and that's how you'll tell the bot what to go for so on these sites you don't use keywords or any of that you just use the sku so the sku for foot size can be found on the product page so pretty much on this releases tab about a day before the drop you'll see a view details button under these which you'll see kind of in this launch page you'll see view details so before the shoe drops on foot sights you'll see like the sizes and you'll see a countdown here of course this shoe has already dropped so you'll see it's live on the site but beforehand you'll see a countdown and to get this hue all you have to do is scroll down and look for this product number down here and you copy this number and paste it in your bot it's as simple as that you can also get this number from the url now again bots will have different modes i'm not really going to go into detail about these separate modes but there's desktop and mobile one uses the desktop apis one uses the mobile apis but again that varies from about to bot so so i'm more explaining the general concepts of botting and not the details now that's pretty much it honestly of course you select your proxy list and generally residentials will work better on foot sites however for this example i'm just not going to select a proxy list and i'll start this task and let's see where it goes so it should find the product just fine and you know get to submitting order of course it's gonna get declined because i have a test profile but we see it found product just fine we see nike zoom freak one here which is exactly the product that we looked at on the site really easy to actually find the product float sites always load it beforehand so have that skew beforehand you don't even need to do any digging you just go on the site and it's there and it's pretty easy to run for foot sites now adidas and yeezy supply they're pretty much the same thing adidas controls the easy supply and it's honestly even easier to run for these sites all you have to do when you're running adidas and yeezysupply is put in the sku which is the same sku that is the actual sku for this shoe which can be found on stockx go or just like on google you could find it so i know fy2903 is the sku for these senders so pretty much what i would do copy that and paste it into whatever bot i'm running cyber doesn't support easy supply but i would just paste it there and i'd be good to go so it's really easy to find the product on adidas and easy supply it's probably the easiest one to do out of all of them and again residential proxies generally work better on adidas and yeezy supply now lastly we have supreme so supreme works in categories so you have different categories for the different items on their site and you use keywords to find them so similar to shopify we'll have to write some keywords but it's a lot easier to write these keywords supreme generally doesn't mess with them and they're also in a specific category so they're easier to find so if we go to sweatshirts and just look at a random hoodie here we see the link is not really useful i mean maybe for restocks but generally you could write keywords pretty easily for supreme they're always straightforward so for this product we'll probably do like miles davis hooded and then black now on cyber it has you separate out the keywords from the color so i put color down here which is black and i would select the category here which is of course sweatshirts now bots will have different capture bypass and poogie mode bypasses again i'm not really going to go into the details of setting up cyber specifically because that'll vary from each bot some bots have it automatically built in some you have to select it so i'm just going to ignore that for now not really explain it because again it varies widely from bot to bot so if you're looking for the setup for a specific bot i do a lot about tutorials so if you want to go looking through my channel i might have your bot that you're looking for now for supreme you could generally run a couple tasks on your home ip but after that then you'll want to use data center proxies so if we start this task it goes and checks out pretty quickly but of course it fails to check out because we're using a test profile but we see we found the correct product now just to show you how keywords do matter and how it's important not to screw them up if i just did hooded here and press black i'd pick up a random hoodie which is of course not what i want so you definitely have to be careful with your keywords and exactly what category you're running in on supreme so that's pretty much what i wanted to show you about task creation there's a whole other topic about captcha that i do want to talk about but i'm going to get to that in part 3 of this series so again if you're not subscribed already then definitely subscribe so that's pretty much all i wanted to show you in the sneakerbot itself the last topic in this video will be servers so first i'm going to explain a little bit about a server and why it's important when to use it and then i'll bring you over to aws and show you the step-by-step tutorial on setting up a server so when sneaker botting a lot of times these sneaker bots you'll want to run multiple sneaker bots or you'll want to run a lot of tasks which can be very cpu and ram intensive as well as your internet might not be that great so your connection to the site and your proxy's connection to the site won't be that great and on some sites speed is really important as well as you don't want your sneakerbots to be lagging and crashing during the drop so that's why what you could do with a server is set up a virtual server on let's say amazon servers or google servers that has a lot more ram and a lot more processing power and as well has a very good internet connection sometimes the speeds are in a thousand compared to the general home network which sometimes is in the hundreds so a server is pretty important to get that processing power to get that ram and also get that internet speed so you can run a lot of tasks and also make sure you can even run multiple bots so you make sure that you're not lagging and that you have the best chance to accomplish you so the two main server providers are aws and google cloud that people generally start with google cloud is good because it gives you 300 in free credit when you sign up but i found google cloud to kind of be slow during the drops and i found amazon to be a lot faster and more reliable for me however amazon could be more expensive so if you could find some amazon promotional credit then go right ahead but in this video i'll be showing you amazon because that's what i'm familiar with and that's what i use all the time so first you're going to want to sign in and go over to this aws management console so once you're here you're going to want to click ec2 then once you're in the ec2 dashboard you'll want to go to launch instant so we're pretty much launching an instance of our server so most sneaker bots run on windows so we're going to choose a windows server and generally the microsoft windows server 2016 base is the safest choice so once you select that then here you get to select the vcpus and memory of course as you go up and have more vcpus and more memory it gets more expensive so definitely be aware of the price you can check how much it's costing you in the billing dashboard when you click on your account usually what i do is somewhere over here like the m5ad 4x large or 2x large if i'm running a bot that's not really that intensive but generally one of these usually these are a couple dollars per hour so you'd only run them for maybe an hour before the drop during the drop and then maybe an hour after the drop so you're not running these 24 7. although there are services that'll provide you with a 24 7 server but those are different if you leave your server up on aws all the time it's going to be really expensive so i'm just going to choose this one for the sake of the tutorial but i'd probably go with a more powerful one for the drop so i press review on launch and then press launch and it asks me for a new or existing key pair so pretty much to connect to the server you'll need a password and to get that password you'll use a file that you create now so what you'll do initially is go to create new keypair and give it a name and you'll press download key pair so this will download a dot pem file that you'll then use to connect the server once you have a pem file once then every time you boot up a server all you do is choose an existing key pair and choose that pair and press i acknowledge that i have access and once you do that press launch instance and give it a second and then in the bottom right if you go to view launches or view instances then you'll see it's pending here so you'll have to give it a few minutes to boot up so we're all up and running here so i'm going to right click our instance and press connect so when we connect we'll need to get our password so i press get password and it's going to ask us to choose a file file is the pem file that you downloaded before so just choose that file and by the way make sure you put that file in a safe place because you'll need it again and again and then you'll press decrypt password now we see we have our password here i obviously have it blurred out but right here to the right of your password you see a little copy to clipboard button so you just press that and also press download remote desktop file so if you don't have some type of rdp program installed or if you're having trouble opening this rdp file then you might have to download something from the internet but i believe windows machines have some type of rdp program installed already if not you just google it and download it so i'm going to open this rdp file and press connect then it'll ask me for a password so i'm going to paste in that password that i copied and press ok and then yes and we'll give it a second but we're going to see a windows machine here so i gave it a few seconds and it booted up it has a black desktop background but we do see this is a windows machine now the first thing i always do is change the time because the time is usually wrong so i just right click the time go here and choose my time zone now next what i do is i like to configure the server a little bit and then afterwards we're going to download our sneakerbots onto the server and open them up so i'm going to search in windows in the bottom left server manager so i'm going to open the server manager and go to local server in the top left then there are two things i like to turn off one is being windows defender because it's annoying so i click on this windows defender real-time protection on and i turn it off all four of them i can close that out next i go to ie enhanced security configuration click on and turn both of these off that's pretty much turning off the internet explorer security configuration it just makes it more annoying when you have it on because pretty much what we're going to do is open internet explorer and download chrome so those are the two settings i changed i could x out the server manager open internet explorer and download chrome because it's a lot better or firefox you know whatever browser you want now we have chrome here so we can easily download our bot or look up whatever we need to look up now this server ip is probably going to be banned on every site so if i try to go to yeezysupply here it's probably going to block me so we see here it blocked me so that means of course we'll need proxies whenever we're running on a server so always if you're running on a server you cannot run local ip you have to run proxies now each bot is a little bit different but basically what we have to do is transfer the bot from whatever computer it's on now onto our server so that's the process of deactivating our bot wherever it is now and activating it on the server so we see cyber's on my home computer right now and i want to move it to the server however there are a bunch of things in the bot that i don't want to lose so for example all my billing profiles there's like 30 something billing profiles in there i don't want to have to retype all them on the server so what i can do is export them from cyber onto the server and same with my tasks same with my proxies etc now each bot is different but cyber makes it really easy where i could basically download a backup in settings and this will download everything so that'll download all my accounts rates billing profiles proxies tasks everything and including settings so pretty much when i install it on the server i'll import that zip file and i'll have everything in the bot ready to go so if i download the zip file we see test cyber here and then what i'm going to do is deactivate the bot on cyber is called logging out and we see on the cyber dashboard it says inactive now what i need to do is download the bot on the server and install it and then run it now there are a couple ways to do it i really don't recommend you sign into discord on the server that's because some people get their bots stolen by signing into discord on the server so i would stay away from signing into discord on the server i would keep discord for your home computer sign in there and just only have the bot on the server so what i'm going to do is download the exe for cyber on my home computer and then what i'm going to do is copy this exe onto the server and run it so i copied it and pasted it and now it's on the server so i'm going to run it now cyber needs a prerequisite of net so i'm going to have to install it again each bot is different some bots might need that net prereq other bots might not so just follow the setup instructions to whatever your bot needs so for cyber specifically it needs net which also needs a restart of the computer once it's done so i'll have to restart the server once i install net and it'll prompt me to do that so it's really easy but what's going to happen is my rdp connection is going to close when i restart the server and then i'll just have to open it back up so i've just reconnected to the server after i've restarted it and if i run the installer again then i shouldn't need to install that prerequisite and by the way i reconnected to the server just by using the same rdp file that i downloaded before now we see i have cyber on the server and of course i put in my license key to activate it and since i deactivated it on my home computer i'm able to activate it on this computer which is the server so you can only have a sneaker bot running on one device at a time so now i have the sneakerbot we but you notice i don't have any billing profiles my settings aren't saved there's nothing here really so that's where the zip file that i exported from cyber before comes into play on some bots it might not be a full bot wide export it might only be you know the proxies tab or the billing tab separately so you'll have to export and then import each one of those but what i'm going to do is paste the dot zip file that cyber gave me and then i'm going to restore in settings and i'll double click that dot zip file and then all my settings are here now all my proxy lists are here now and all my billing profiles are here now which i can see here so everything is good to go now i could set up my tasks and run it on the server just be sure if you need to i p off through residential proxies you can google what is my ip and then copy this and then put it into whatever system that your proxy provider uses to authorize some proxy i know some proxy providers that i've used in the past they take up to 30 minutes to authorize that their systems do so you probably want to do this early before the job i would say at least like 30 45 minutes before the drop to be safe because i've been in a situation where i set up a server but my proxies aren't authorized so they're not going to work on the server and i have to find different proxies in last second or hope the ip gets off right away all right and with that being said that's pretty much it for this part two again i want to see how high we can get that subscribe percentage because right now non-subscriber is way too high but if you enjoyed this video definitely give me a like and comment if you have any questions and be sure to stick around for part three which i'll go over a bunch more stuff such as captcha billing profiles and cook groups so stay tuned for that alright guys have a good one
