🤖 Steamgifts Bot

A feature-rich bot built with TypeScript to automate interactions on the Steamgifts platform. Designed for efficiency, modularity, and ease of use, this project brings a modern approach to managing giveaways and accounts with advanced automation capabilities.

✨ Features

• Multi-Account Support: Manage multiple accounts via a JSON configuration file.
• Rate Limiting and Throttling: Intelligent request handling to avoid bans.
• Headless Automation: Utilize Puppeteer to interact with the Steamgifts website.
• API Integration: Leverage API calls wherever feasible for better performance.
• Dockerized Deployment: Run the bot seamlessly in the background using Docker.
• Extensible Design: Built with TypeScript for modularity and future enhancements.

🚀 Project Knowledge Goals

• Learn Efficient Browser Automation: Implement headless browser control with Puppeteer.
• Enhance Modular Design Skills: Develop extensible and maintainable code with TypeScript.
• Understand Throttling Techniques: Apply intelligent rate limiting to simulate realistic usage patterns.
• Master Deployment Strategies: Containerize the project with Docker for efficient deployment.
