In the early days of the pandemic…and the early days of my Ansible learning…I set up a playbook to scrape several websites for hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes.
If it found one in stock, it would email my cell phone carriers SMS gateway. Tasker would then make a loud audible alert.
Ran for weeks before it found some in stock. And then it did. At 2am. And again at 2:05, and 2:10, and 2:15…
And it was an error on the shops webpage. It wasn’t actually orderable…once it got in your cart, it wouldn’t let you check out.
Even if you do want a pizza, you should probably be careful with this provider. In testing, I once nearly ordered every item on the Domino’s menu, which would probably have been expensive and embarrassing.
Reminds me of the old adage:
A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history – with the possible exceptions of hand guns and tequila.
Wrong tool for the job, but if you want to order pizza, you can use terraform:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/MNThomson/dominos/latest/docs
I suppose you could then feed your Terraform runs into Grafana and use it to track your pizza consumption.
