Price-Poller

Product price poller, email notifications when price is lower than latest value. Currently supports Finland's Verkkokauppa.com electronics and Sissos gun online store and any product from these websites. You only need product code inserted in database product_code field. You can track as many as you want. Product code's can be found from Verkkokauppa link and description, example: 63109

If you need support for more online stores, you are free to contribute on this repo. I review and merge pull requests coming from new branches.

This readme includes todo list for future plans.
