Price logger written in Python
Used to log the prices of products I'm interested in buying.
Running on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 with systemd services :D
Needs to have chromium-browser and chromium-chromedriver installed, I wasn't able to run it with Firefox unfortunately.
- Selenium
- Pandas
- Beautiful Soup 4
- Requests
- Plotly
There is a directory for each product, and their script's implementation depends on it's needs.
On asus, for example, the main script is asusprice.py, and it needs selenium in order to interact with the page: click to accept the cookies, scroll down the page and click the button to select the right specs with it's respective price. With bs4 it's able to parse the html and find the element containing the price. It then transforms the new price and today's date into a pandas dataframe and appends it to a .csv file containing prices from past days. If the new price is different than the last one recorded, then it sends a notification to discord with requests. The file asusgraph.py uses the data from the .csv file to create a line graph with plotly, which will be displayed on the default browser. There is also the files asus.service and asus.timer in order to automatically run this script everyday at 6am via systemd.
The pc and pc_hardware directories also use selenium, but saves the information to a .json file. Future scripts will follow asus template.
