I have tried to use fast fingers to preorder a PS5 as soon as it restocks and have failed. Now I want to turn to the dark side.
What do I use to achieve this? I know python and shell scripting but know nothing about web development.

Popular libs for web scraping are requests and beautifulsoup. You may want to check out this tutorial for the basics.
I wouldn’t be too optimistic that you stand a chance against “professional scrapers” but good luck anyway!
I have used bs4 before but didn’t know it could be used for that. Thanks.
