Raspberry Pi 5 Stock Availability Notifier

This Python script periodically checks the stock availability of Raspberry Pi 5 on a specified seller's website. If the product is in stock, it sends a notification email using Gmail.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, make sure you have the following:

• Python installed (version 3.x recommended)
• Required Python packages installed (requests, bs4 - BeautifulSoup, smtplib)
• Gmail account for sending notification emails

Setup

1. Install Dependencies:

   pip install requests beautifulsoup4

2. Create Configuration Files:

   Create two JSON files in the same directory as the script:

   • email-config.json

     {
       "sender_email": "[email protected]",
       "sender_password": "your_email_password"
     }

     Replace "[email protected]" with your Gmail email address and "your_email_password" with your Gmail password. Note: It's recommended to use an app password for enhanced security.

   • recipient-mail-data.json

     {
       "recipient_email": "[email protected]",
       "subject": "Raspberry Pi 5 Availability Notification",
       "message_body": "Hurray! Raspberry Pi 5 is in stock now. Grab it before it's gone!"
     }

     Replace "[email protected]" with the email address where you want to receive notifications. Customize the subject and message body according to your preference.

3. Run the Script:

   Execute the script using:

   python script_name.py

   The script will run indefinitely, checking the stock availability every 5 minutes. If the Raspberry Pi 5 is in stock, it will send a notification email.

Important Note

• Ensure that you comply with the terms of service of the seller's website when using this script.
• Use the script responsibly and avoid excessive requests to the seller's website to prevent any issues.
• Be cautious with storing email credentials directly in the script. Consider using secure methods for handling credentials.

Feel free to customize the script or improve it based on your needs!

Replace `"script_name.py"` with the actual name of your Python script. This README provides basic instructions for setup and usage. Adjustments can be made based on your specific requirements.
