Availability of Raspberry Pi SBCs was limited in 2021 through 2022, with various online stores having limited stock, or single-unit order restrictions in place. If you have existing projects needing a Raspberry Pi or if you are building a project requiring multiple Raspberry Pis (like a cluster) then you are left looking for Raspberry Pi on various online stores.
Internationally the Rpi Locator project tracks availability for US and EU retailers. However there is no support for Indian retailers.

For testing purposes you can run this script from the command line after installing the requirements.
Ideally you will run this every ten minutes or so, using some sort of scheduler. cron-task.sh is a shell script that you can run via your cron or scheduler. It will enable you to launch the virtual environment as well as this script.
This script supports Mac OS X notifications. If you are on your Mac when the item comes in stock, it will notify you as well as launch a webpage showing the item on the retailer's site.
This is not a scalping tool. The prices shown will be set by retailers and are most likely going to be higher than the MRP/MSRP prices, so this tool may not be useful if you are looking to resell the SBCs for a profit.
