Can any kind person help with a sample code for the following scenario:

I need to search/retrieve price from one (or several external pages) and display the lowest price BEFORE adding the same product to our non-profit webshop.

 

Thanks in avance! 🌹

How do you define a page? What are these pages? How will you read them?  Adding what to what when you find something?  So many questions that you could have provided answers to as part of your opening.

What's a page (in this context)? Is it a webpage or something else?

Is it one page or several? If it's one page, it should be easy enough to whip up a one-off. If it's several, how are you planning on storing the links to the pages? Database, array, or something else?

How do you want to find the lowest price? Do you want to save a copy of the entire HTML and sort through it until you find the price? Or do you want to find the right element and pinpoint it from there? Both options work.

How are you "adding the product"? Are you inserting the details into a database or saving the HTML to copy it over?
