Very small project for my gf to track when the Resident Evil 4 Remake Collector's Edition is avaiable in Poland :) (2 months before premiere lol)

Scraping and Email Notification Script

This script is used to scrape search results for a specific keyword (Resident Evil 4) from a website (https://www.euro.com.pl/) and send an email notification when the number of search results has increased using OAuth 2.0. This is a simple project for my girlfriend for her to be able to buy colectioner's ediiton of RE4 :)

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• requests, beautifulsoup4, google-auth, google-api-python-client, datetime libraries
• Google account with access to the Google API
• OAuth 2.0 credentials for your Google account

Setup

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the necessary libraries.
3. Replace [email protected] in the script with your email address.
4. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_PROJECT_ID, YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET in the script with the actual values from your project's credentials.
5. Modify the script to scrape the desired website and search results for the desired keyword.
6. Run the script.

This script is set up to run indefinitely, checking for changes in the search results every 30 seconds. If the number of search results increases, an email will be sent to the provided email address. Please note that the script uses OAuth 2.0 authentication to access the user's Gmail account and send emails.

Error handling

In case the website structure changes or there is a pop-up on the page, the script continues working.
