FunlopCLI was a command-line sneaker bot meant to help my close friends buy hyped sneakers faster and easier - by automating account generation, raffle entry and the purchasing process.

FunlopCLI started as a small experiment between a few close friends, built with the goal of automating sneaker raffles and first-come-first-served (FCFS) drops in a more efficient and reliable way. What began as a niche tool for a tight-knit group quickly evolved into one of the most effective sneaker bots in the Romanian market.
The project helped me deepen my understanding of browser automation, headless scripting, captcha solving and creative bypass techniques, pushing the limits of what's possible with stealth automation at scale. Over time, FunlopCLI generated over 15,000 customer accounts, entered more than 250,000 raffles, and led to 4,000+ confirmed sneaker purchases across both local and international releases.
At its peak, our success rate was high enough that some retailers began introducing anti-bot measures to counter our activity. Ironically, this only made the project more rewarding from a technical perspective, as we had to constantly adapt and innovate to stay ahead. While FunlopCLI was never intended for public use, it became a space to experiment, adapt, and innovate while leaving a mark on the local sneaker scene.
