Bot Developer Needed Retail Price Monitoring & Deal Detection (Discord Integration)

I’m seeking an experienced developer to build 3–4 independent monitoring bots that scan large retail websites for extreme discounts, pricing anomalies, or errors in near real-time or Freebies. These bots will be used privately and integrated into a Discord server to automatically post alerts.

This project is strictly for data monitoring and alerting. No checkout automation, purchasing, or cart interaction is required.

Core Responsibilities

Develop 3–4 monitoring bots to scan selected retailer websites

Detect pricing anomalies and extreme discounts, specifically 80%–100% off normal retail pricing

Compare live prices against historical or reference pricing

Push real-time alerts to designated Discord channels via webhooks or a Discord bot

Implement configurable filters (discount %, price ranges, categories, keywords, SKUs, etc.)

Ensure stability, logging, and graceful error handling

Technical Requirements

Strong experience with Python or JavaScript (Node.js preferred)

Proven background in web scraping or price monitoring (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, Requests, etc.)

Experience building Discord bots or webhook-based alert systems

Understanding of rate limiting, headers, proxies, and responsible monitoring practices

Ability to deliver clean, documented, maintainable code

Nice to Have (Not Required)

*Prior work with Discord reselling or deal communities

*Experience monitoring major e-commerce platforms (Shopify-based sites, Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.)

*Cloud deployment experience (VPS, AWS, DigitalOcean)

*Ongoing support or long-term collaboration availability

Deliverables

3–4 fully functional monitoring bots

Discord alerts triggered for 80%–100% discount events

Configuration options per bot and retailer

Setup instructions and documentation

Optional post-launch support
