Hey everyone, I’m new to coding and I’ve been working on a project to track the prices of pets in Adopt Me. My goal is to scrape data about pet values from websites that track market changes (like winadopt.me), and then send notifications via Discord whenever a pet's price changes by a certain percentage (either going up or down). I’ve been using Python with libraries like Selenium and BeautifulSoup to scrape the data, but I’m still learning and running into some challenges. At this point, I’m trying to figure out how to reliably pull the right data, especially when it comes to detecting changes in value over different timeframes (like the past week or month). I’ve also been looking into APIs and trying to figure out the best way to get the data I need. I’m just looking for general advice, best practices, or any tips that could help me improve my code and understanding. If anyone has experience with web scraping, using APIs, or Discord bots, I’d really appreciate any guidance or suggestions! I’m excited to learn more and appreciate the help.
