    Create a Gmail Account:

    If you don't have a Gmail account, you need to create one. Visit Gmail and sign up for a new account.

    Enable Less Secure Apps: To allow your script to access your Gmail account for sending emails, you need to enable "Less secure app access" in your Google Account settings. Follow these steps:

    Go to https://myaccount.google.com/. Click on "Security" in the left sidebar. Scroll down to the "Less secure app access" section. Turn on "Allow less secure apps." Generate an App Password (Optional but Recommended): Instead of using your main Gmail password directly in your script, it's recommended to generate an app password specifically for this script. Here's how:

    Go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords. Select "Mail" and "Other (Custom Name)" in the dropdown menus. Enter a custom name for the app (e.g., "AmazonPriceTracker"). Click "Generate." Copy the generated app password; you will use this as your SENDER_PASSWORD in the .env file.

  5. Update the recipient_email, product_url and last price value(last_price.txt) variables in the script with your desired values.

  6. run the script:

     python price_tracker.py
