Checking a page manually every day is a chore you're likely to forget, often missing the sale entirely. This guide covers building an automated Crate & Barrel price monitor.

By the end, you’ll have a system that watches prices and visualizes trends so you can buy when the price is lowest. Prerequisites & Setup We’ll use the Crateandbarrel.com-Scrapers repository as a foundation. 1. Clone the Repository Open your terminal and clone the base scrapers: git clone https://github.com/scraper-bank/Crateandbarrel.com-Scrapers.git cd Crateandbarrel.com-Scrapers 2. Install Dependencies You'll need Python 3.8 or higher. Install the librari
