Auction Wizard

Auction Wizard is a CS:GO skin sniping prototype. Users could set custom filters (price, float, market name) for CS:GO Empire listings, receive matches, and (in future plans) fully automate sniping and purchasing.

Features

• Real-time WebSocket data from CS:GO Empire
• User-defined sniper filters:
  • Item name
  • Max price
  • Float range
• Live match detection and frontend display
• Planned (not implemented): auto-bidding, auto-withdraw, multi-market price comparison

Architecture

• itemService.js — connects to Empire WebSocket and stores listings
• SniperService — infinite loop processing user snipers against live listings
• apiService.js — REST API for user config, matches, snipers
• MongoDB — stores users, snipers, items

Loading

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, Next.js
• Backend: Node.js, Express, Mongoose
• Database: MongoDB
• WebSocket Feed: CS:GO Empire

Development Setup

git clone <repo-url>
cd /auction-wizard-backend && npm install
cd auction-wizard-fronted && npm install

Set environment variables for MongoDB and API URLs. The MongoDB is current set to run locally, so MongoDB must be installed on the system. Run servers:

# Backend
cd auction-wizard-backend && npm start

# Frontend
cd auction-wizard/fronted && npm start

Frontend runs at http://localhost:3000
