Fantasy football can be really fun! For a while…
It was so time-consuming to constantly check the transfer market for the best available players, which led me to consider a small improvement: what if I could skip this step and let an application do it for me?
And that's why I created a Selenium bot that automatically places bids on player auctions when they meet my criteria.
Simplified app logic:
Which means I can sleep whole night peacefully and wake up with new players in my pocket.
The beauty of this idea is that you don't need an API or any complex method to access private data, making it applicable to a wide range of use cases. There's even potential for passive income!
Essentially, it's a bot, but with the option to mimic human behavior. You can add delays, move the cursor like a human, and type with pauses to make it seem like a real person is interacting with the system.
It's beneficial for me to utilize it, but it would be virtually impossible for websites to defend against. Just thinking about the amount of resources they would need to allocate to counteract its power is insane. And for what purpose? Simply for the sake of security. It's a frustrating situation. Feels bad man…
Even though this project is simple, I wanted to share with you how I approach problem-solving and how I try to simplify my life.
