How to track discounts and mobile app giveaways?

Tell me how to use the Telegram bot to track discounts on applications and giveaways in the Google Play and app store markets?
This is not about scraping sites that do this. By the way! And how do they do it?!
It's about how to get information directly.
Do I understand correctly that for this you need to somehow collect the entire application database to begin with? But this is some kind of unrealistic task. And even if it succeeds, then tracking will take a lot of resources
Tell me plz

Hello, you need to constantly monitor the prices on the app store and save them to the database, the telegram bot can directly receive data from the database.
To track millions of applications you need:
1. Thousands of proxies - to make millions of requests per day and not be blocked
2. Change the user agent for each request for the same reason
3. Bot that receives data
4. Telegram bot 5. Server
database can be
merge into 1, architecture dependent.
Data can be obtained from https://apps.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36 or for Russia https://apps.apple.com/ru/genre/ios/id36prices may vary depending on the country, so multiply the number of requests by the number of countries you want to support.
The cost of development from $1000 to infinity depends on the functionality
The cost of server and proxy support is from $100 per month
Monetization through advanced functionality and advertising.
You don’t need to limit yourself to just a telegram bot, you can also make a web version.
