I want to create a bot to purchase items when restocked. For example I want to buy a certain item on amazon when it becomes available. I can do this with selenium quite easy yet I want to be able to run this bot off a raspberry pi and would love a more efficient way of running it. I know you can do this via an API but most retail websites don't have APIs.

I know you can get urls and other page info using beautiful soup, yet does bs4 allow me to pass information onto the browser and submit?

Would love some recommendations on best libraries to use to achieve this process. Thanks in advance!

  • Maybe consider creating a microservice that runs in the cloud that has functions to do the scraping and then have the PI call the microservice functions? – Justas Aug 09 '20 at 01:33
