Basics
What Is Botting? Botting is the use of automated softwares to help you secure sneakers for retail. Botting is a constantly changing and evolving thing. Sites are always making changes to prevent bots, and in turn the developers of the bots are always updating their software.
Does Botting Guarantee Success? No, not at all. Botting is extremely hard and it takes a long time before you master it and are able to consistently cop pairs. If you are looking to instantly get success without any work, botting is not for you.
How Much Money Do You Recommend To Start Botting? I recommend having at least 1k starting capital to spend on bots, proxies, servers, etc. You will also want another $500-1k to have to spend on the shoes. If possible I would recommend closer to 3k to start spending on bots, this will allow you to get a better bot which in turn should allow you to cop more pairs. In general the more expensive the bot, the more success you will likely see with it.
What Type Of Sites Can You Bot? The most popular sites to bot are Shopify, Supreme, Yeezy Supply, and Footlocker. Nike SNKRS botting doesn’t really work right now.
What Are Proxies? Proxies are specific ip addresses you input into your bot. The bot runs the tasks on the proxies ip addresses to trick the site your botting into thinking the requests are coming from different places. There are two main types of proxies, Datacenter and Residential. Residential proxies are like a phone plan, you get a certain amount of data. Residential proxies are sold by the gigabyte. Datacenter proxies allow you to use them as much as you want in a month.
Residential Proxies: Pros: Cheaper. Less likely to get banned. Can make hundreds of proxies. Cons: Slower Speeds
Datacenter Proxies: Pros: Faster. Cons: Often banned on Shopify sites, and are sometimes banned on footsites and Yeezy Supply. More expensive. Can’t make more proxies, you're stuck with what you have.
What Proxy Type Do You Recommend? We mostly use residential proxies because data centers are much more expensive and get banned a lot easier.
What Proxy Brands Do You Recommend? Our go to’s are Leaf and Dash Residentials. Cookie proxies, unknown, and a few other known providers also work well.
