ScrapeBot

This simple bot scrapes a website for an item and notifies a Discord role whenever stock is found.

Bot can be configured using a config.json file with the following structure:

{
    "prod": {
        "guild": "<your guild id>",
        "channel": "<your channel id>",
        "role": "<@&your role id>",
        "url": "your url",
        "scrapeFrequencyMs": "<your scrape frequency in milliseconds (be reasonable)"
    },
    "dev": {
        "guild": "<your guild id>",
        "channel": "<your channel id>",
        "role": "@&<your role id>",
        "url": "your url",
        "scrapeFrequencyMs": "<your scrape frequency in milliseconds (be reasonable)"
    }
}

Bot must also have a secrets.json file in the same directory with structure:

{
    "token": "<your bot token>"
}

prod and dev can be used for testing on another guild or channel before moving to the live version.

Once configured, run npm install then run the bot with node bot.js

Different websites will of course require different selectors which can be obtained from Chrome DevTools.
