How to Set Up and Run a JD Seckill Script to Grab Moutai with Python

The author discovered a popular JD.com seckill script on GitHub and decided to test it for buying Moutai, a high‑demand liquor.

1. Environment Setup

Download and unzip the project from the repository.

Create a Python 3 virtual environment and activate it:

# Create virtual environment
$ python3 -m venv .
# Activate virtual environment
$ source bin/activate

Install required packages: $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt On Windows, manually install the lxml wheel matching the Python version (e.g., 4.6.2) and adjust requirements.txt accordingly.

2. Preparation

Obtain JD.com eid and fp values by logging into the JD web site, placing a dummy order, and inspecting the _JdTdudfp variable in the browser console. Write these values into config.ini in the project root.

Set the desired purchase time ( buy_time) in config.ini; the script will start a loop and trigger the request when the time is reached.

3. Start Seckill

After configuration, the process consists of two main steps:

Step 1: Open JD PLUS membership – a paid membership required for the seckill.

Step 2: Reserve the product – either manually search for “Moutai” on JD and reserve, or let the script do it.

Run the script with python main.py, choose option 1 to generate a QR code for JD app login and complete the reservation.

When the sale time approaches (e.g., 10 AM), run python main.py again, select option 2, and let the script attempt the purchase.

The guide concludes that while the method incurs a cost (PLUS membership), successful grabs can yield high returns, and users with higher JD credit scores have better chances.
