Ping is a Python program made to notify a user when an item is listed or restocks at various online retailers.
This project is for educational purposes ONLY. It should not be used in practice and is only used to show a practical application of web scraping in Python for learning.
Scraping can be viewed as something as very abstract given the amount of things you can do with it. One problem I often run into is items running out of stock before I even notice they are listed (very often with the supply shortages caused by COVID-19). This is a practical solution that could fix a problem I experienced.
