## Description

This project is an automated digital content claimer and game store automation bot. It functions as a headless client that handles account authentication and request sequences to collect complimentary digital games and downloadable content on a schedule.

The tool provides specific automation for the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Amazon Prime Gaming. It uses storefront-specific adapter logic to secure limited-time offers and build a digital game library without manual browser intervention.

The system incorporates cron-based task scheduling for daily checks, automated login flows using stored credentials, and headless browser automation. It also includes a notification system that dispatches claim status alerts via external webhooks.
