Small application for Ikea stock/restock lookup and alerts. A web version is available at https://extremelycorporate.ca/~oscar/ikea/ and is much more convenient if you don't need alerts.
The web implementation is provided by scripts in /webVer.
The following instructions are only for if you wish to set up notifications for when an item restocks. Also, only works for Windows (for now).
Download notifier.py and data.db.
Navigate to the bottom of notifier.py and replace the default arguments for stockTrack().
stockTrack(item, country, location)
item refers to the specific item you want to look up. The input can be a link to the item page, or the 8-digit SKU number found on the page under "Article Number"/at the end of the link.
country refers to a two letter code for the country to search in.
Currently, only ca and us (case insensitive) are available, but I'll work to update the database as soon as possible with other countries.
location refers to the 3-digit store ID of any store in the country. This can be multiple arguments, comma separated.
stockTrack("https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/malm-bed-frame-high-black-brown-luroey-s69009475/", "ca", "256, 372, 149")
stockTrack("60473548", "us", "560")
A list of available codes will be provided shortly.
In order to actually have this work properly, you must automate the program execution in some way or another.
I suggest using Windows Task Scheduler to simply run notifier.py once every hour or maybe even once per day. This means the program doesn't have to run constantly and can start with power on.
