Web Scrapers

Story

Based from simple business concept of "item with a high-demand but low stock will cause that item's price to increase", hence we see scalpers, resellers trying to obtain those limited items to re-sell it for higher price. Instead of throwing tantrum on how that action is unethical, I want to make something that will help me to get those limited item, hence the birth of this project.

Python script to scrape items from retail websites and ozbargain posts, then sending the results to discord. Additionally, monitoring any new item and quickly notifies the Discord user by sending the post.
