RocketLeague Insider Scraper
A Rocket League trading price scraper that texts you SMS updates on the prices of specified items at set intervals. Runs daily on AWS Lambda and delivers the latest prices via Twilio.
- Python
- AWS Lambda
- BeautifulSoup
- Twilio
Problem
Prices in the Rocket League trading market move constantly, and checking them by hand for a watchlist of items is tedious. I wanted the current prices pushed to me automatically instead of pulling them myself.
Approach
A serverless price tracker:
- Scrapes RL Insider for the current prices of 25+ specified items using BeautifulSoup.
- Texts the latest prices to the user via Twilio SMS.
- Runs the scrape on a daily schedule with AWS Lambda, so updates arrive with no manual checking.
Highlights
- Tracks a watchlist of 25+ items.
- Delivers updates over SMS via Twilio.
- Fully serverless and scheduled on Lambda, so it runs unattended.
