After you familiarize yourself with the bot, it's time to set up on a specific site. Head over to the tasks page, create your task group, and press the purple plus icon to get started with creating a task.
To import Nike accounts, click the Misc tab of the bot, go to Accounts, and create an account group for your Nike accounts.
You can copy and paste your list of accounts into the bot, or import them as a file if you have them stored in a file on your desktop.
The format for importing accounts is:
user:pass
or
user:pass:proxy
It is highly recommended you assign a unique ISP proxy that works on Nike to each account. The proxy that you assign to each account will be used to log in and enter draws on that account.
Use the drop-down menu to select what site you're going to run. In this case "Nike" is used for both Nike.com and SNKRS App draws.
Here you will select what mode you're going to run.
Default: This mode is used for any scheduled LEO (2 minute draw) or DAN (10 minute draw) release on Nike.com or SNKRS App.
Shock Drop: This mode is to be used for Shock Drop releases where you may know an item is going to surprise release, but it is not yet loaded. Shock Drop mode will preload the browser and monitor for the desired product you enter (instructions on how to run this type of release will be explained more below).
FLOW: This mode is used for FCFS (first come, first serve) releases or restocks. This type of release is not a draw so the bot will immediately attempt to purchase the product when using this mode if the product is available.
The monitor input box is what information the bot will use to find the product you're attempting to purchase.
For Nike.com and SNKRS App releases, you must use the SKU of the product you wish to run.
Example: DD1391-100
The SKU of a product can usually be found in the product description of an item on SNKRS or Nike.com. For some releases, we may also post the SKU within the #release-help channel in the Valor discord.
Select what size(s) you want the bot to go for. You can select a specific size range or random.
When creating tasks you should select what profile group you would like to use as well as what profiles within that group your task(s) will use. It is important to note that the CVV for the card on your profile must match the card that is set as default on the Nike account you are using. The bot will enter this CVV every time it enters a draw.
Select a Nike account for your task to use. You have the option to select "Match Email to Profile" if you want the bot to make tasks that have matching account and profile emails.
You can choose No Proxy (Uses your local IP) or you can select a proxy list on your tasks. It is important to note that task proxies on Nike are used to connect to the website and fetch product data for the item you're running, so whatever list you select must work on Nike (These do not have to be the same proxies that you have assigned to your Nike accounts, but if they are that is okay too).
You have the option to use Brave Browser for your Nike tasks instead of Google Chrome. Using Brave Browser may be slightly less intensive for tasks, and also may help with certain login issues when getting sessions for your Nike accounts.
Brave Browser must be installed on your machine for this toggle to work properly.
This toggle will have your tasks attempt to re-enter a draw if they lose the first time. Keep in mind that this can cause multiple of your browsers to re-launch at the same time to attempt re-entry which may be a bit intensive on your machine. It is highly recommended to use this feature on LEO releases, as results usually take a while to go out so there is a good chance of hitting on a re-entry.
Account sessions are a saved file of your login. You create sessions before a release so the bot doesn't have to attempt to login during the drop. It is recommended to get sessions for your account(s) the night before a release, and this only needs to be done once per account (you don't need to get new sessions before every drop). To create a session for your account, you can run a task on a LEO or DAN SKU that is scheduled to release in the future. You will see a browser open and the bot will navigate through the login steps for you. If your bot gets stuck on a login step you can try using the refresh button on the task or stopping and starting the task again to fix it. Once you see your account is logged in, you can stop the task and your session will be saved for that account.
You can begin starting your tasks for a draw release no earlier than 10 minutes before the draw is scheduled to open. You should start tasks one by one for the best results. Upon starting a task, you will see the bot navigate to the checkout stage for your desired product, then it will fill the CVV for your card and wait until it's time to enter the draw. The status you want to see on your tasks when they're waiting to enter a draw is "Waiting to Enter Draw XX:XX:XX". The times shown on the task status will all be slightly different because the bot staggers your accounts to all enter at different intervals in the draw entry window. Once the time comes that is shown on your task, the bot will attempt to enter your account into the draw. Sometimes when the site is experiencing a lot of traffic, your task may get stuck on an entry step and you may need to refresh the task or help manually guide your entry in within the browser.
FLOW is not often used for any initial drops, more often it is used for random restocks. Since this type of release is FCFS, the bot will immediately attempt to purchase the product you're running if it's available.
There are multiple task controls you can use to assist you while running a Nike.com or SNKRS draw release.
The eyeball icon is used to bring the browser of that task to the front of your screen in case you have it minimized or it's buried behind other browsers.
The refresh icon is used to refresh your tasks browser so it can repeat a step. This is useful if your browser ever gets stuck on a login step or on any step of entering a draw.
The start/stop icon is self-explanatory, they are used to start and stop your tasks.
The pencil icon is used to edit any information that is being used on your task setup.
The trash can icon is used to delete your task.
Shock Drop mode is for drops where the product isn't loaded and you know there's going to be a surprise release. This mode will preload your browser(s) for you and monitor for the desired product so that way your tasks are started and ready to go when the product loads and the draw opens. The bot will wait on the orders page on your Nike account while it monitors your product. While the bot is still monitoring your product before it is loaded, your tasks should display the status "Failed Getting Product Data! (200)". Once the product drops the bot should automatically try to enter the draw for you. You should still only start tasks no earlier than 10 minutes before the surprise release is scheduled to go live, and you should start tasks one by one for the smoothest results. For any non shock drop draw releases, stick to Default Mode.
If you know there are multiple products dropping at the same time, you will need to make a separate task for each SKU on each account. When entering more than one product at a time on an account the bot will open a new tab for each new product in the same browser, rather than launching a whole new browser for each product to conserve resources.
The amount of tasks you can run is dependent on your device. A good rule to follow is CPU count x 2 = the total number of accounts you can run. You can also test this by slowly launching your tasks one by one and monitoring for any lag / performance issues.
Some servers are known to have issues with Nike login on Chrome, try downloading Brave Browser on your server and toggling "Use Brave Browser" on your tasks then attempt to get login sessions again.
There is no set length of time that account sessions last, but they should last you multiple drops. If for any reason you want to delete your account sessions and get new ones, you can navigate to appdata/valor-aio/NikeAccountSessions2 and delete the folders associated with the accounts you want to get new sessions for.
There could be multiple reasons you see this error. First, check to make sure you entered the product SKU correctly. Next, check to see if the product you are running is scheduled to release as a LEO or DAN draw release. If the product is not loaded or is not a draw release, this may be the cause for this error.
This error usually means that the proxy list you are using on your tasks are banned on Nike. Even if the proxies assigned to each of your accounts work on Nike, you still need to assign an unbanned proxy list to your tasks. Task proxies are used to connect to the site and fetch data for the product you're running.
If you are getting this error on tasks, it is either because you started your tasks more than 10 minutes before the draw opened, or the results are taking a very long time to go out on Nike. If you get this error you will just have to check your email/charges to see if you won at all. Please note that your tasks successfully entered the draw, the bot just won't be able to display the results.
This is usually due to your account not having delivery/billing info saved to the account. If you have this information saved on your account already, try using the refresh button on the task so the bot can retry this step again. This can also be an issue with the proxy assigned to your account.
This error can be caused by a few things. Your device or account proxy may be flagged by Nike. To fix this error try changing your account proxy, changing your server resolution, and using Brave Browser, or using a different device.
This is usually caused by having special characters in your saved delivery address. Remove any special characters from the saved address on your account and it should be fixed. It can also happen when the site goes down and there is a lot of traffic. It can also be caused by the things listed under "Why does my browser show "Error Parsing Response from Server" when trying to log in?".
Currently, the bot will only save your profile information to your account if there is no existing delivery or billing info on the account already. If there is information saved on the account already, the bot will not update it for you. To update the saved information on your account, launch a task on a future draw release, go to your account settings on Nike and delete any delivery/billing information, stop your task, delete your account session, run the task again. Once you have done this the bot should save your tasks profile information to your account.
LEO/DAN/FLOW refers to what type of draw a product is going to be on Nike. A LEO is a release where you will have 2 minutes to enter the draw, and a DAN is a release where you will have 10 minutes to enter the draw. A "FLOW" release is a non-draw, first come first serve type of release.
This is usually an issue with the device you're running on getting blocked. It is recommended to run your Nike automation on your local device since a lot of servers run into this issue. The FLOW tasks are not that intensive so you don't need to worry about using a server.
This is an issue with your proxies being blocked by Nike's anti-bot. Switch to a new proxy list that works on Nike and that should fix this issue.
