why did you put sleep time as 5 seconds, you could have set it as 1 seconds. Who knows, you might have got what you really waned :-)

I guess its 5 Ms. and if its 5 Secs then its too much to loose.

@Aadish26 time . sleep takes arguments as seconds. So, OP was in fact scraping the website every 5 seconds.

I like it !

@ankit337

agree!, But it might happen that your program sent you a mail and you had opened link after 15 minute or more ,At that time product might be sold out.

If you had opened link just in next second and it show status sold out then we can say, yes it was scam
