CartScout runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 81 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 15 Sep 2026.
Live product prices, stock, variants and deal ratings from Shopify, Walmart, eBay and more.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check CartScout every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
