streetmerchant is a Node.js application that continuously checks retail websites for product stock availability, with optional add-to-cart support and notifications across many platforms. It includes an optional live web dashboard for managing stores, series, and configuration while running.

Use cases

  • notify me when a graphics card is back in stock
  • monitor PS5 availability at multiple retailers
  • check stock of GPUs 24/7 without refreshing manually
  • get alerts when Nintendo Switch 2 or CPUs come in stock
  • add hard-to-find items to cart automatically when available
  • track inventory across Best Buy, Newegg, Amazon, and Micro Center

When to choose

  • you want automated, continuous stock monitoring with multi-platform notifications
  • you need a self-hosted bot with a live dashboard and configurable store/series filters
  • you want community-maintained store links for GPUs, consoles, and CPUs

When to avoid

  • you expect fully automatic purchasing - the bot deliberately does not buy for you
  • you need guaranteed uptime in the cloud, since some retailers block datacenter IPs
  • you want a zero-setup hosted service rather than running Node.js or Docker yourself
