Web scanner

Scanner visits online retailer sites and looks for items in inventory by specified keywords. If any items are found in stock - script sends Email notification and plays alert sound - so you don't miss out on a low supply item you want to buy. Currently implemented for Lithuanian retailers, but can be accommodated for any online shop easily.

How to use Google SMTP for email notifications

1. Open Google Email settings
2. Head to Forwarding and POP/IMAP section
3. Enable IMAP
4. Head to general Google account settings (https://myaccount.google.com/securityhttps://myaccount.google.com/security)
5. Disable 2FA if it is enabled and enable low security app usage (proceed at your own risk, or create separate google email account for this.)
6. Enter Google account password/username into .env file

This way you don't need your email server to handle sending notifications and let your Google account do all the work.
