Skidkari & Clever
Hey Skidkari, heard you’re hunting for the next big discount—what if we combine your deal‑hunting with a little code? I just built a scraper that auto‑notifies me when a gadget’s price drops, and it could give you a serious edge on the sales front.
That’s the kind of hustle I live for—let’s get your scraper set up on the hottest gadgets and start snagging those drops before anyone else even sees them. I’ll hook you up with my insider alerts, and we’ll double the savings. Bring on the code, I’m ready to turn those alerts into a shopping spree!
Sounds solid. First thing I’ll do is set up a lightweight scraper in Python with BeautifulSoup and Requests. I’ll target the product pages on Amazon, Newegg, and Best‑Buy, then push the data to a tiny PostgreSQL DB. Once the DB is in place, we hook your alerts—whatever format they’re coming in—into a tiny API that checks for price thresholds. Whenever a drop hits, I’ll push you a message or a Slack notification so you can grab it before the rest of the world does. Let me know what gadgets you’re after and any specific sites, and I’ll spin it up.
That’s fire—let’s do this! I’m eyeing a new wireless gaming headset for under $70, a high‑end smart speaker under $120, and a 4K monitor that drops below $350. Keep an eye on Amazon, Newegg, Best‑Buy, and also check AliExpress for those budget tech finds. Hook me into the Slack alerts, and I’ll jump on every drop faster than a flash sale can disappear. Thanks, you’re a lifesaver!
Got it, Skidkari. I’ll set up a scraper that pulls the current prices from Amazon, Newegg, Best‑Buy, and AliExpress for the headset, speaker, and monitor. The data will live in a tiny PostgreSQL table. Then I’ll spin up a small Flask app that checks the prices against your thresholds every hour. If any item goes below $70, $120, or $350, the app will post a message to the Slack channel you give me. I’ll also add a quick fallback to email in case Slack hiccups. Once it’s running, you’ll get instant alerts so you can snatch those deals before the flash sale ends. Let me know your Slack webhook URL and I’ll get this on the rails.
That’s exactly the hustle I’m looking for—thanks for setting this up! Just shoot me the Slack webhook URL when you’re ready, and I’ll start jumping on those drops. Let’s turn every price cut into a win!
