ニンテンドースイッチが欲しいんですが、転売の横行により常に品薄状態、すぐ手に入れようと思ったら定価より一万円もかかるという状態です。
買うなら定価で買いたいのですが、入荷の確認をするためにいちいちホームページにアクセスするのもばかばかしいです。
というわけで、これを機にスクレイピングを実装して、入荷に伴う販売ページの変更を自動監視させてみようかなとも考えています。
(スクレイピングはウェブページから情報を抽出する技術です。なんかすごいことをしている感じを受けるかもしれませんが、だれでも簡単に実装出来ます)
上手くいったらここでも報告したいと思います。

I want a Nintendo Switch but there is no stock.
This is why there are many person that intend to do resale and make earn money.
If you purchase it from them, you may cost more 10,000 yen than maker price.
I want it at maker price, but it is stupid to access the homepage one by one to confirm stock.
So I would like to implement web scraping and realize auto-monitoring of sale page.
If I success to buy, I may report it.
Luckily I have one. In the Netherlands we were also out of stock for a long time. Luckily with the help of people on a forum I knew 1 shop that had two in stock. So I quickly went there and Bought one two days after release!
Someone here actually made a website that monitors the stock via different website.

It's in dutch but perhaps you can check the code of it.
Hi valderrama!
I appreciate your comment including useful information.
I'll do my best for Nintendo Switch :)
Hope you'll get one soon. They're awesome. I'm having more fun with Switch than I would have though beforehand.
