Honest answers to the questions a security-conscious user should ask before installing a browser extension that touches sportsbook accounts. If something here is unclear, open an issue on the GitHub repo.
What the extension CAN see
The HTML of the bet-history page on the 10 supported books, but only when you click the Sync button (no background scraping).
The NuroPicks API token you paste into the popup (stored in chrome.storage.local; only this extension can read it).
The URL of your active tab when you click Sync (used to verify you're on a supported book before scraping).
What the extension CANNOT see
Your sportsbook password, 2FA code, saved cards, or banking info. Chrome's extension API does not give us access to login forms.
Other tabs you have open. We requested only `activeTab` and the 10 host permissions you see in the manifest.
Browsing history, bookmarks, downloads, or cookies for any other site.
Your IP address (the extension never makes a network call from your context that exposes it differently than normal browsing already does).
What goes over the wire
Per bet, the extension POSTs tonuropicks.com/api/account/booksync/importwith a body containing:
book_source (e.g. "draftkings")
book_external_id (the book's own bet/entry/ticket id, used for dedup)
stake (in cents)
odds_american
market, pick_text, sport, game
result (win/loss/push/pending), settled_at
potential_win (in cents)
placed_at
That's it. No browser metadata, no device fingerprint, no cookies, no IP-based tracking, no session token from the book. The HTTP request is signed with your NuroPicks token in the Authorization header.
Token: what it is, what it can do
Issued at /account/booksync, shown exactly once, then only the SHA-256 hash is persisted server-side.
Scope: append bets to YOUR ledger only. Cannot read other users' data, cannot mint other tokens, cannot place real-money bets.
Per-device labels (e.g. "home laptop", "work"). Revoke any one without affecting the others.
Lost a device? Revoke the token. The thief now holds an inert string.
What happens during a NuroPicks breach
Worst-case scenario, an attacker gains read access to our Postgres:
They DO see: the hashed (SHA-256) form of your tokens, your imported bet rows, your discord_id linkage.
They DO NOT see:your sportsbook credentials (we never had them), your actual token (only the hash), your funding sources, or the token of any other user.
Recovery posture: bulk token rotation via a one-line UPDATE on np_booksync_keys.revoked_at. Users mint fresh tokens, paste them into the extension popup, sync continues.
