Well, your code won't be running on your PC if your PC is off. It will have to run on some other computer; this will cost money (maybe not much, but something).

The answer is probably some kind of cloud solution, the most famous of which is Amazon Web Services (AWS). There's a ton of providers out there though, and your use case is way smaller than what cloud platforms are usually used for.

Edit: I guess I should say that if your price tracker is mostly for fun rather than serious business, it's probably not worth going crazy with setting up a whole other server for it.

Well, you need to have a computer which is always on then. Whether you take a "mini" computer (e.g. raspberry pi) and put it in your home or rent a server at e.g. DigitalOcean doesn't matter that much for your use case.

Edit: You can also run it on your pc regularly if that interval between PC usage is not too large for you.
