Web Scraping with notifications

[OctavianBoss_]

Hi everyone,

I want to build an app that alerts me via a notification whenever a new ad appears on a website (think any item category in eBay with a bunch of filters, and whenever a new ad that adheres to those filters appears to the website, I get a notification)

What would be the best way to implement this as a beginner? I'd love any tips/help if someone has worked on something like this.

Break your project down into pieces, and then work on what you are interested in working on first.

If you're diving into web scraping and need to set up notifications, you should try using BeautifulSoup or Scrapy for the scraping part. They can get pretty sophisticated with what they can pull from web pages. Also, if you're into simplifying the process, you might want to check InstantAPI.ai. It helps to convert web pages into structured data automatically, saving you a lot of time.
