This Python script is designed to scrape data from a website and send an email with the scraped data as an HTML table. It is specifically tailored for scraping product discount information from umico.az and notifying recipients via email.

• Asynchronously scrapes product data from multiple pages on the website.
• Constructs a Pandas DataFrame from the scraped data.
• Sends an email containing the data as an HTML table to specified recipients.
• Schedules the scraping job to run daily at a specific time.

Before using this script, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• Python 3.x
• Required Python packages (install using pip):
  • aiohttp==3.8.5
  • beautifulsoup4==4.12.2
  • pandas==2.1.1
  • schedule==1.2.1
  • requests==2.31.0

Before running the script, you need to configure several parameters in the script itself:

• MY_EMAIL: Your Gmail email address from which the notification emails will be sent.
• MY_PASSWORD: Your Gmail account password. Be cautious with this information and consider using an app-specific password.
• TO_EMAIL: A comma-separated list of recipient email addresses to whom the notifications will be sent.
• current_date: The date format for the subject line of the email.
• schedule.every().day.at("09:00").do(job): Schedule the scraping job to run at a specific time. You can adjust the time according to your needs.

You can run the script using the following command:

python main.py

The script will scrape the data and send notifications to the specified email addresses at the scheduled time.

You can customize this script for different websites and data types by modifying the following parts:

• The URL in fetch_page(session, page_number) to match the website you want to scrape.
• The scraping logic in scrape_page(page_content, ...) to extract the relevant data.
• The DataFrame creation to match the structure of your scraped data.

• Be cautious with your Gmail email and password. Use app-specific passwords if possible.
• Consider using a dedicated Gmail account for sending notifications.
• Make sure to comply with website terms of service and scraping policies.
