a telegram bot to Send a notification when a new discount occurs in Nintendo store

Introduction:

I wrote this code for personal use.

But I decided to publish it . you might benefit from it.

getting help

So you need help.

People can help you, but first help them help you, and don't waste their time.

Provide a complete description of the issue.

If it works on A but not on B and others have to ask you: "so what is different between A and B" you are wasting everyone's time.

"hello", "please" and "thanks" are not swear words.
