Writing a Python Script to Check If Any ACs Are Available Every 5 Minutes

It's been ridiculously hot in Vancouver recently, and it's almost impossible to find ACs.

So I wrote a simple Python script (with Selenium) to check if any AC's are available at Best Buy every 5 minutes and mention me on Slack when there is one.

- The two videos I mentioned:

[CSDojo]

Long time no see everyone! haha



EDIT - clarification:

I turned off the notification of that channel so I won't be notified every time the bot sends a message. I'll only be pinged when there's a mention.

I chose to send a message every time anyway just to make it easier to make sure the bot's still working.

This was awesome man! A lot more clean code than when I do projects haha

I was asked why I'm letting the bot spam Slack every time, and here's my answer:

I know it's a bit of a silly project, but you're teaching some very valuable python skills here! I hope you continue to post regularly to this channel again!

Nice video! I was playing with selenium on Replit a bit the other day works really well. I could see this video helping people set up a lot of projects like checking for the availability of GPUs or PS5s. You know the important stuff...

The reason for the error is probably because the element has become stale in the Dom, ie its looking for the element before the page is actually in a ready state, also an easier way to locate that element would be to use xpath and locate via class contains and the text.
