Update For Code On Web Scraper
I accidentally forgot to include a filter for prices, here's the updated code.
I accidentally forgot to include a filter for prices, here's the updated code.
This web scraper checks amazon links by URL every two minutes, and emails you when those products are available. There is a cooldown of 4 hours for products that have been found available and emailed to you, but this cooldown only affects the particular item and not all of the URLs. By the way these parameters are completely customizable (you can have your wait time be 5 minutes, your cooldown be infinite, etc.) I made this scraper to help people out with panic buying and the lowered availability of basic items. In my original program, I made an email called amazonbot100@gmail.com to carry out the emails. To set up an email with this program, here are the steps: 1. Create a new email (Recommended, but not required) 2. Enable two-factor authentication for your account (This is required for the next step) 3. Set up App Passwords for your account and create a new one for your computer. 4. Paste in the email address to the Email variable at the top, and paste the app password into the Password variable under that. 4.5. Search up "my user agent" on google and paste it into the user agent 5. Run python -m pip install bs4 6. Run python -m pip install requests 7. Run python -m pip install keyboard Also, I understand that the code isn't the most efficient, especially towards the end, though I was in a rush so don't judge me xD.
