Mails you if anything on your public wishlist(s) is on discount.
requests is used to get the website content.
BeautifulSoup is used to parse the content with specified values and get the important information.
You can install these packages by running
pip install -r requirements.txtPython's native email, smtplib and ssl packages are used to send mail once all the important information has been acquired. re is used to validate the urls and mails.
You need to have public wishlists with at least one item in them. When you run the script, it checks all items on your wishlists and compares their prices to the specified threshold. If an item's price falls below the threshold, you'll receive an email notification with the details of the discounted items.
There is a variables.py file with information you have to fill. I have tested the script with gmail and can't give any useful information about how to use it with other mail providers.
By default, Gmail doesn't allow you to log in with your email and password directly. You'll need to create an "app password" for this purpose. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
You can automate the script by using system-specific scheduling tools:
- For UNIX-based operating systems, use
cron. You can learn more about cron. - For Windows, create a .bat or .ps1 file containing the command python main.py and schedule it using Task Scheduler.
If you encounter issues getting the script to work, the most likely culprit is the wishlists dictionary in variables.py. Ensure it is correctly formatted, like this:
wishlists = {
# wishlist id: price to compare to
"id1": 10.99,
"id2": 11.19,
"id3": 23.49,
}Wishlist ID is located in the URL as a query parameter, following id=.
Example url
https://store.crunchyroll.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-CrunchyrollUS-Site/en_US/Wishlist-ShowOthers?id=abc123In this case your wishlist ID would be abc123.
