I built a local Python price-monitoring starter kit to replace repetitive manual checks.
The useful part is not just collecting prices — it is keeping the workflow auditable:
• append-only price history and change logs • price-drop, target-price, and stock-change alerts • CSV, JSON, and a readable HTML digest • no telemetry, with SMTP disabled by default
I verified the synthetic demo across 12 fictional targets and 8 snapshots: 96 history rows, 12/12 successful checks in the latest run, and 13 generated alerts.
It is intentionally a transparent Python source kit, not a universal no-code scraper. JavaScript-rendered, login-protected, or unusual pages can require custom adaptation.
What is the hardest part of price monitoring in your workflow: changing layouts, noisy alerts, or JavaScript rendering?
