My DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon entry: stock-checker
Dec 26, 2020
Just a short cross-post to say I have entered the DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon.
stock-checker is a golang
app that spawns a task every hour to check whether any of the following UK retailers have an Xbox Series X console in stock:
This is done using a web automation library that navigates each site in a headless chromium browser.
If the app determines stock is available, a text message is sent using Twilio to the configured mobile number.
The full details can be found over on DEV.
The source can be found on GitHub.
