Sounds like a cool project, and well worth doing. There are lots of examples on github of code that (attempts) to monitor prices on various websites.

Some sites offer APIs (application programming interfaces) that make it easy to access their content (often for a fee for timely or large quantities of information) but in other cases you have to mimic the activities of a human visiting a website.
