Snipe

Watchlist + headless checkout for Flipkart flash drops.

Snipe watches the Flipkart products you care about and, the moment one goes in stock at your pincode, drives the entire checkout — cart, address, coupons, payment — from an offscreen worker so you don't have to sit refreshing the page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Polls Flipkart's serviceability API every 2–5 seconds for every item on your watchlist, in a single batched call per pincode. • When any target flips to in-stock + serviceable for your delivery pincode, Snipe: 1. Clears your cart of unrelated items (so payment eligibility doesn't get broken by leftover phones etc.) 2. Adds the target with your saved quantity 3. Initiates checkout, removes GST if you've opted out, applies SuperCoins if you've opted in 4. Gets a payment token 5. Runs your selected payment mode headlessly — COD, UPI (dynamic QR), Netbanking, Card (3DS handoff), or EMI • Successful COD/UPI orders complete without ever opening a tab. • Netbanking, Card 3DS, and manual mode open a payment tab pre-loaded at the bank/gateway page. • Persistent order history (last 100 buys) with timestamps, order refs, and grand totals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ACCOUNTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Snipe can log into Flipkart via OTP directly (mobile or email), or capture the cookies of an existing incognito / current-window session. Multiple saved accounts, one active at a time. Your normal browser session is preserved when you log in — Snipe temporarily strips and restores your live cookies. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • All data stays on your device (chrome.storage.local + chrome.storage.session). Nothing is sent to any Snipe server. • Card CVV is NEVER stored — you enter it in the popup right before you engage, and it lives in session memory only for that browser session. • Card number + expiry are stored in chrome.storage.local (not chrome.storage.sync). They never sync to your Google account and never leave your device. • Flipkart session cookies are stored per-account in chrome.storage.local for the multi-account switch feature. • No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party network calls. Snipe only talks to *.flipkart.com. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO IT'S FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Enthusiasts trying to grab flash sale / preorder / limited-drop items they'd otherwise miss because of how fast they sell out. Snipe is a stopwatch — it doesn't guarantee you get the item, it just makes sure the checkout runs at machine speed instead of yours. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NOT INCLUDED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • No queue-jumping, no bypass of Flipkart's anti-abuse (captcha, OTPs, 3DS still work exactly as normal). • No scraping of pricing/product data for anyone else — it only checks what you added. • Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Flipkart Internet Private Limited. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TERMS OF SERVICE NOTE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Automated checkout may violate Flipkart's Terms of Service. Use at your own risk — Flipkart may cancel orders, block your account, or take other action against automated purchases. This tool is provided as-is with no warranty. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPEN SOURCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Full source at: <YOUR-GITHUB-URL-HERE> Issues and PRs welcome.
