Amazon Price Tracker
🌐 English · Dansk · Bahasa Melayu
A Python bot for Day 47 of Udemy's "100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp". It reads a product page, extracts the price and sends an e-mail when the price is below a target. The assignment has four lecture steps; each has a page here that shows what we built, a screenshot and what we gained.
