Installation

First clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/brun0ne/margonomia

Install Python. This code was tested on Python 3.8.

Bot

To run the bot, install Chrome and put the right version of chromedriver into /bot. To start it, run inside /bot:

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 bot.py

By default it will open a browser window, but it can also run in headless mode. Just uncomment this line in bot.py:

chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

You also have to edit the USERNAME and PASSWORD variables and position your bot correctly as shown in the first GIF.

Web App

To start the server run these commands inside /webserver:

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 server.py

Ethics

Garmory (the company running Margonem) generally doesn't like bots, but this one was made only to gather anonymous, public data which can be later used for same academic studies. It doesn't automate any relevant part of the game and doesn't use up much of Margonem's resources - it's only one player checking auctions once in a while.

In any case, bots of any kind are not allowed in Margonem, so if you run Margonomia, you do it at your own responsibility and risk a ban.
