This project is WIP: code is in alpha quality
A Python script that fetches information (name, brand, price...) about a product, and informs if a lower price was recorded in its price history.
This program's output is intended to be used by PriceList, which does not exist yet, but will in the future. It can also be used as a CLI tool.
- Latest Google Chrome Stable
To run the Python script directly, the following packages are also required:
- python 3.10+
- pip
- requests
- selenium
- undetected_chromedriver
- beautifulsoup4
- pandas
- psycopg
- psycopg-binary
- pyshorteners
- json5
- price-parser
Many can be autoinstalled by executing pip install -r requirements.txt in the project directory.
This tool uses a command-line interface that receives the desired URL as argument and other flags. It can be executed by typing:
$ ./plf [OPTIONS] URL
or
$ python plf.py [OPTIONS] URL
in the shell of your liking.
> .\plf.exe [OPTIONS] URL
or
> python plf.py [OPTIONS] URL
in CMD or Powershell.
PLF will check the URL and return all possible attributes in the page. If binary/release version is used, the lowest price recorded in a PostgreSQL database will also be returned.
This database can be user defined in database/dbsecrets.py, but must contain the same tables.
