Back in August’s Raspberry Pi Price Tracking post, I talked about a quick Markdown table I put together by hand to compare Micro Center’s Raspberry Pi prices. It worked fine for a snapshot, but those numbers go stale fast — and I wanted something that could keep itself up-to-date.
Scrapegoat is a small Python + PHP project that automatically scrapes Micro Center’s Raspberry Pi listings, tracks prices over time, and publishes live tables and charts. It builds daily snapshots, flags sales and all-time lows, and outputs Reddit-ready markdown tables — all powered by static JSON data, no database needed.
