Raspberry instock check bot

Get an alert on Telegram when there are Raspberry in stock ready to buy. This bot uses rpilocator to check for stock updates.

Join the public Telegram channel to get notifications! @raspberry_alert

We also mirror the content of the rpilocator website on this public API endpoint: raspberry.rigwild.dev

🌟 Star the project if we helped you get a Raspberry! 🙏
