TicketSwap Bot

1•lkka•2mo ago
I've been trying to get tickets on TicketSwap for popular events (festivals, concerts, etc.), and I'm noticing tickets are being purchased literally within milliseconds of being posted - often before I can even click the buy button. I'm curious from a technical perspective:

What kind of automation are people running to achieve this speed? Are there known bot implementations that monitor and auto-purchase tickets? How do these bots handle detection/rate limiting? What technologies/approaches would even make this possible (websockets monitoring, API scraping, browser automation)?
