why

Stop doing Best Buy by hand

The Best Buy tasks you repeat (search a keyword, open a product, read price and stock) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Best Buy only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Best Buy's Products API needs an approved key and omits the live in-store availability and cart flow that buyers care about.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Best Buy task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Best Buy tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Best Buy action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search a keyword
{ }open a product
{ }read price and stock
{ }check store pickup
{ }track an order

Workflows extract structured fields such as product price, online stock, in-store availability, rating along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Best Buy automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the Best Buy task once in a real browser (search a keyword, then open a product) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Best Buy in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Best Buy's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Best Buy

The reason Best Buy is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Best Buy product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture availability that loads dynamically, and can sign into your account for cart actions.

Run the Best Buy automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the Best Buy task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch Best Buy for price drop or restock and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Best Buy workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Best Buy changes. It runs on your own Best Buy account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/bestbuy/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Best Buy automation too.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Best Buy automation in seconds. Monitor Best Buy ▸

The same Best Buy automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Best Buy for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/bestbuy/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Best Buy task too.

Automating Best Buy: questions

How do I automate Best Buy?
Record the Best Buy task once in the recorder (search a keyword, open a product, read price and stock) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Best Buy account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Best Buy this way?
Use Writ on your own Best Buy account and on public listings you have the right to access. Respect Best Buy's Terms and purchase limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Best Buy automation work behind login and 2FA?
Best Buy product and price pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture availability that loads dynamically, and can sign into your account for cart actions. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Best Buy session.
Can I run the Best Buy automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Best Buy is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
