Monitors & Coverage
How fast are your restock alerts?
Our monitors use selectolax-powered parsing (up to 39x faster than traditional HTML parsers) combined with 9M+ rotating proxy IPs to detect restocks within seconds. Alerts are delivered instantly to Discord, giving you the best chance to cop before items sell out.
What stores do you monitor?
We monitor 68+ stores including Nike, Adidas, Zalando, Foot Locker, JD Sports, Pokemon Center, MediaMarkt, LEGO, Amazon, and many more across all major European countries.
Which European countries are covered?
EasyCop covers 13+ European countries including Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, and Switzerland.
What categories do you cover?
We cover four main categories: Sneakers (Nike, Adidas, Jordan, New Balance, etc.), TCG & Pokemon (Pokemon cards, booster boxes, ETBs), Toys & Collectibles (LEGO, Funko Pops, action figures), and Electronics (consoles, GPUs, gaming peripherals).
Are your monitors always running?
Yes. Our monitoring infrastructure is built for reliability with always-on, 24/7 operation. Our monitors are active and checking for restocks around the clock, with minimal downtime for maintenance or updates.
Technical
How do your monitors work?
Our monitors continuously check retailer websites, APIs, and backends for stock changes. We use multiple monitoring types: product page monitoring, new additions detection, backend API monitoring, and page scraping — ensuring comprehensive coverage of every store.
What are proxy IPs and why do you need 9M+?
Proxy IPs allow our monitors to check stores from different locations without being blocked. With access to 9M+ rotating proxy IPs via our provider network, we ensure uninterrupted monitoring across all European regions — even when stores implement anti-bot measures.
What parsing technology do you use?
We use selectolax, a high-performance HTML parsing library that is up to 39x faster than traditional parsers like BeautifulSoup. This means we detect restocks faster and deliver alerts quicker, giving our members a competitive advantage.
Do you use bots to purchase items?
No. EasyCop is a monitoring and alerting service. We detect restocks and notify you — the actual purchasing is done by you manually. We provide the information; you make the purchase.
