Newegg is starting to be a little harder to scrape as they use captcha more often now. The current method scrapes a ton of pages, one per product and keeps cycling. This not only spams newegg more often but also takes long as it cycles back to the first link.
Each item has a unique and static identifier which is basically its Item number on Newegg
Newegg does not always show an add to cart button on the search result page but it is safe to assume an item is in stock if it shows a price instead of out of stock. Alternative method is to reverse the logic and do not consider an item in stock if "out of stock" is found in "#item_cell_14-126-453_1_0 > div > div.item-info > p" for example.
If the item is in stock, the bot will read the name, check the price and pull the link and send it to the alerter specified
I tried to implement such a system myself but so far I couldn't. It would be amazing if someone else with the knowledge could do it.

A fix would be to scan search results pages instead. I am not able to imagine how such a thing could be done but maybe this could be possible.

How would the bot know if an item is in stock?
