💰 Checking the difference between prices for different products on Prisguiden.no.

How to

Run the main.py script and select from the menu.

************MAIN MENU**************
Please enter a number
1: Add new product(s) to the list
2: Remove product(s) from the list
3: See details from the list
4: Run checker
5: Quit

Run in background

Use cron jobs, see crontab.guru to figure out the schedule expression for the checking interval, I recommend not more often than 30 minutes (this would be */30 * * * *). If you have never used cron before, check out the crontab command help.

*/30 * * * * /LOCATION/OF/PYTHON/python3 /LOCATION/OF/SCRIPT/pricehunt-py/checker.py

On Windows, cron` is not installed by default. Use the Windows Task Scheduler instead, or see this StackOverflow question for alternatives.
