Beat The PC Scalpers Alert Bot

This was a project idea that came during my time struggling to beat the bots on buying a 5600x. After days of missing in stock notifications, I decided I had to do something about it. I wanted to make a Discord bot that would alert me anytime a post was made on /r/buildapcsales regarding any CPU. It was a great opportunity to learn about using the Reddit API and how Discord bots worked and I had a lot of fun with it. I've recently expanded to include other PC parts and also to search for posts in the hardwareswap subreddit.
