A simple command-line program that checks the price of a list of Xbox games. It's useful if you want to buy some games on sale.
Visit https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/all-games to browse all the available Xbox games. As of August 2021, 2637 games are listed here.
Tip #1: Go down to the bottom of the page and select how many items you want to see per page. The default is 50 but you can also select 200.
Tip #2: You can change the language of the MS Store. For instance, to browse the Store in German, use the URL https://www.xbox.com/de-DE/games/all-games .
If you want to register a game in this program, then simply
copy the URL of the game and paste it in the file gamelist.txt.
The URL of a game typically looks like this:
https://www.xbox.com/en-us/p/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt--game-of-the-year-edition/C261457LCNMJ
where "C261457LCNMJ" at the end is the ID of the game.
The file gamelist.txt has no specific format. The program will extract
all URLs from it. If a line starts with a # sign, then the line will be discarded.
When you are ready with the file gamelist.txt, start the program:
./main.py
It'll check the price of all your registered games. If a game is on sale, then its title will be marked as green.
Edit settings.py and change the values of MARKET and LOCALE. For instance,
if you live in the US, use these values:
MARKET = "US"
LOCALE = "en-US"
