Monitor RX 9070 XT

Requirements

Before we start, make sure you have:

Basic knowledge of JavaScript and MySQL
A web server or local development environment (e.g., Node.js)
MySQL database setup
Axios or another HTTP request library for fetching data
A scheduling tool like node-cron to automate checks

Step 1: Setting Up the Database

First, create a MySQL database to store stock availability data.

CREATE DATABASE microcenter_monitor;
USE microcenter_monitor;

CREATE TABLE stock_status (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    product_name VARCHAR(255),
    status VARCHAR(50),
    last_checked TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Step 2: Fetching Availability Data

Use JavaScript and Axios to scrape Micro Center’s product page for stock availability.

const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const mysql = require('mysql2');
const cron = require('node-cron');

const db = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root',
    password: 'yourpassword',
    database: 'microcenter_monitor'
});

db.connect(err => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log('Database connected');
});

const url = 'https://www.microcenter.com/product-url';

async function checkAvailability() {
    try {
        const { data } = await axios.get(url);
        const $ = cheerio.load(data);
        const stockStatus = $(".stock-indicator").text().trim();
        
        console.log(`Stock Status: ${stockStatus}`);
        
        db.query('INSERT INTO stock_status (product_name, status) VALUES (?, ?)',
            ['RX 9070 XT', stockStatus],
            (err, result) => {
                if (err) throw err;
                console.log('Stock status updated');
            });
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
    }
}

cron.schedule('*/30 * * * *', () => {
    console.log('Checking stock availability...');
    checkAvailability();
});

Step 3: Automating Stock Checks

Using node-cron, we set up a scheduler to check stock every 30 minutes. The fetched data is stored in the MySQL database for future reference.

Step 4: Viewing Data and Notifications

To notify users when the GPU is in stock, you can:

Send an email alert using nodemailer
Integrate with a Discord bot or Telegram alert system
Create a simple web page displaying stock history using Express.js

Conclusion

By leveraging JavaScript and MySQL, you can automate the tracking of RX 9070 XT availability at Micro Center. This script helps avoid constant manual checks and ensures you get notified as soon as the product is back in stock.
