Footsites

Guide on how to run Footsites tasks on Hayha.

General Info

Hayha's Footsite module is built to efficiently handle Queue-It and Datadome. You can run tasks for restocks or initial with extremely low data burn.

Suggested Mode

Smart-1 is suggested for both restocks and initial.

Queue-It (Initial Drops)

Inner Workings

What is Queue-It?

Queue-It is a digital system for managing online releases. In it, users are made to wait in an online line (queue) to have access to a product. Importantly, passing line does not guarantee purchasing the product; rather, passing the line gives you the ability to attempt to cart it.

How Queue-It Works

Entries into the digital line are verified using a captcha and JS antibot challenge (in Hayha we call this JS Challenge ). Users who enter the line before it is live are assigned an internal identification ID. When the line begins, they are randomly assigned a place in line. The line controller, in this case Footlocker, decides how many users to let through the line at once. The more users attempt to enter the queue, the slower the line will move. This feature is designed to reduce load on Footlocker's servers — only a certain number of users will have access to the site at a time.

If you start your tasks after the line is live, you will be forced into the line at the very end. This is because Queue-It refuses to compromise the spots of existing users. If 500 users enter the queue before 10 AM, they are assigned a random spot. Users who enter after will be assigned spot 501, 502, 503, etc.

The key takeaways from an understanding of Queue-It are as follows:

  • Identificiation, in this case captcha & challenge, are required to enter.

  • Entering after the release has begun means losing your chance of winning.

  • A person who enters at 9:01 and a person who enters at 9:59 have an equal chance of winning.

Hayha's Handling

Hayha is currently captchaless on Queue-It, so you don't need to select a Queue-It Captcha Handling option. You do not need to solve captchas at all. We handle captcha solving and challenge solving on our end to simplify the process for you.

Instead of solving captcha, wait for the announcement in our Discord (usually #dev-announcements) on when to start tasks. If our captcha servers aren't functioning we may ask you to solve captchas yourselves, but this has not happened in the three months we have supported captchaless Queue-It.

Tasks entering into Queue-It are designed to conserve resources as effectively as possible. Queue-It has begun a large banning spree of residential and datacenter proxies. When banned, proxies cannot recover and unban themselves. Thus, retrying endlessly on some errors can prove a costly mistake.

If a task errors out too many times, it will wait for other tasks to pass queue. It will say Waiting for Pass.... This status is alright if seen in only 25-30% of your tasks. If you see it on all your tasks, your proxies are all banned (or there is

Setup Info

  • You can use URL or SKU input for Footsites. Both methods are identical.

  • Currently 6 Footsites are supported: Footlocker, Eastbay, Champs Sports, Footaction, Kids Footlocker, and Footlocker Canada.

  • You can select checkout via Credit Card or Gift Card.

  • Switch Profiles on Decline rotates the profile on your task to a random profile from your task group if a decline is encountered. This can be very useful to users running large amounts of profiles (e.g. ACO runners or slot runners).

  • Advanced Cart Handling is an experimental setting to handle carts more efficiently. Run it on 50% of tasks.

Additional Notes/Advice

  • We do not support accounts for footsites. All checkouts and tasks will be ran as guests

  • Resis are recommended over isps because it gives you the range to run a lot more tasks. Try to have at least a 5:1 proxy to task ratio.

  • The more tasks you run the better. it is all about increasing odds

  • We are captchaless so your own solvers are not needed. You may choose any option to fill the captcha-handling option. Captchas are also not needed for restocks, they are only needed during initial drops.

  • You can run footsites 24/7 for restocks.
