RocketLeague Insider Scraper
Scrapes Rocket League trading prices for chosen items daily on AWS Lambda and texts you the latest prices through 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.
