Hello GitHub, I would like to share my method of creating a aggressive Bestbuy Bot in Python. I will be using Beautifulsoup4, Selenium, and Twilio in this script. Please continue reading this for instructions on how to set up bot.
If you guys need instructions to set up Newegg Bot or Amazon Bot go to my Google Drive here.
You can test bot with this URL.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&iht=y&keys=keys&ks=960&list=n&qp=currentprice_facet%3DPrice~Less%20than%20%2425&sc=Global&st=hdmi&type=page&usc=All%20Categories
Do Not Use a URL like this. If you compare both URL's you'll see the difference. Make sure URL looks like the page above. Otherwise bot will not work.
