Build a Price Tracker with Discord Notifications

Overview

Never miss a deal

Ever missed a 50% discount because you weren't looking? This Python script checks Amazon (or any store) every hour and pings your Discord server when the price drops.

Architecture

Scraper: Pulls the current price from the HTML.
Logic: Compares it with your "Target Price".
Webhook: Sends a POST request to Discord.

Step 1 The Code

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

URL = "https://www.example-store.com/item-123"
HEADERS = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"}
TARGET_PRICE = 5000

def check_price():
    page = requests.get(URL, headers=HEADERS)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')
    price = float(soup.find(id="price").get_text().replace('$', ''))

    if price < TARGET_PRICE:
        send_discord_alert(price)

def send_discord_alert(price):
    webhook_url = "YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL"
    data = {"content": f"🚨 PRICE DROP! Now \${price}. Buy here: {URL}"}
    requests.post(webhook_url, json=data)

check_price()
