Just came across this, and thought it was a pretty cool tool to self-host. You can use it to monitor price changes, or new events being added, or to check if that out of stock thing is back in stock.

      Depends if your outgoing is a local address or if you’re going through a vpn.
      I rarely run into the issue on the former, almost always on the latter.
      I think there’s a way to hook a solver on top of it, but I could be mistaken, haven’t done so myself.

      Yeah, that’s always a struggle with scraping, lots of sites don’t like it, even if you try and be respectful.
