Woolworths and Chemist Warehouse Price Scraper

Gone are the days of manually checking discounts on your favourite items.

Add a list of item ids and the script will automatically scrape the website by using Selenium to check if there is a price drop.

Cheeky woolies have restricted their API access, thats why I used trusty bots instead of GET requests.

The script currently supports items from chemistwarehouse.com.au and woolworths.com.au

JSON Format

{
  "Chemist_Warehouse": {
    "ItemName1(For reference only)": "12345",
    "ItemName2": "54321",
    ...
  },
  "Woolworths": {
    "ItemName1(For reference only)": "12345",
    "ItemName2": "54321",
    ...
  }
}

How to get Product Ids

When you view a product from a CW (chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/{id}/foo-bar) or Woolies (woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/{id}/foo-bar) website, the ids should be in the url.
