How to use with Discord

• Create a Discord server channel webhook and copy to clipboard
• Open the setting.json file located in the config folder
• Under the Webhook field, paste your discord webhook url in the " "
• In the array of Skus paste all of the Skus of the items that you wish to observe comma seperated
  • it should look something like this "Skus":[6429434,6437910,6432447,6430623,6436192,6434363,6428846, 6429440],
• Open up your favorite console application and navigate to the project.
• A default interval of 10 seconds is applied.

Webhook: Discord webhook url where all notifications sent from the monitor will go. Skus: A comma seperated collection of all the items you want monitored. Interval: Time in milliseconds between each time the monitor will check on your list of products you've entered.
