I use a "bot" to auto-clip digital Safeway coupons

How?

TamperMonkey (I've been told to use ViolentMonkey instead as TamperMonkey isn't open source) and the script here. Then you can run a script to periodically log into your account in a headless browser and click the button. Unfortunately there's no coupon API so this is the best solution I could think of.
