streetmerchant is a stock checker bot that monitors retail availability continuously and notifies users when items become available for purchase.
The tool solves the problem of manually checking multiple retailers for product availability by automating the monitoring process across supported stores. It runs continuously to watch for items you specify, and when stock appears, it can add items to your cart and open your browser to complete checkout. The approach relies on integrations with specific retailers to check their inventory status programmatically.
The tool suits anyone who wants to track product availability across multiple stores without manual effort, particularly for items that sell out quickly. It explicitly does not automatically complete purchases on your behalf. The project provides a web dashboard for monitoring stock status across stores and series with filtering controls, environment variable editing, and the ability to restart the checker without stopping it entirely. Notifications can be sent to most common platforms and devices when items come in stock, allowing you to stay informed even when away from your computer.
The project maintains active engagement with community contributions and demonstrates responsiveness to user needs through its feature set. Development activity shows consistent attention to expanding retailer support and notification channels. The codebase is written in TypeScript, providing type safety for contributors working on integrations and core functionality.
