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)?
