Gran Turismo 7 tracker for in-game dynamic prices for cars

This is a personal project built on Python to obtain in-game stores information of Gran Turismo 7 without the necessarity to manually start the game on PlayStation 5. It has the following functionalities:

• An automated daily email to list updates in game.
• Aggregate data to build a local database of cars' historical prices,
• Return latest information of cars given a wish list.

Data are scraped from https://github.com/ddm999/gt7info. Tools providing similar information are available on https://gtdb.io. However, the site requires an account to receive daily emails. The setup of this project allows for a setup without having to sign up for an account.

The approach of this project is to provide a solution without setting an account.

Usage

Daily Email

A scheduled Github Action is currently set up. However, the user can easily set up a similar system. Only email_update.py is needed in this case with the appropriate environment varibles for SENDER_EMAIL, PASSWORD and RECIPIENTS. A screenshot of the email and the latest html copy is shown below.

Wish list and local database

1. Build databases by running build.py. It will also detect whether shop.py and car.py should be run.
   • Only the respective shop will be built if ran with flag used or legend. Nevertheless, shop.py and car.py will still be triggered if necessary.
2. Run update.py to update the local shop databases.
   • Similar to build.py, used or legend flags can be called.
3. wish.py checks whether cars in the wish list wish_list.txt are available today. If so, then it will return the price. Otherwise, it returns the last available date and the price.
   • This script will automatically run update.py when checking whather cars on wish list are available.
4. Running today.py returns items available in the shops in terminal. With flag new the script will only return new days of the day.
