Parsing the price of an item on the Steam marketplace?

Question

Python

Hey! How to parse the price of goods on the trading platform.
The user enters a link to an item and the program displays the price of this item every ten minutes.

I tried to do it myself, without moms and dads, but it didn’t work out that way. Here is my code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

url = input()
r = requests.get(url).text
soup = bs(r,'html.parser') 
search = soup.select("#market_commodity_forsale > span.market_commodity_orders_header_promote:nth-child(3)")
print(search.text)

Link example:
https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/Pri...

Thanks in advance!

Steam prices are loaded from the API, using such links, in the JSON response, which contains the keys lowest_sell_orderand the highest_buy_orderones you need. The product ID is stored in another JSON, which is on the page at the link you wrote in the question.
