Reporting the important things to the masses

Pirkkabot innocently scans K-Ruoka webstore for Pirkka III -beer's price daily. To combat ever changing CloudFlare and other bot blocking mechanisms used by K-Ruoka, Pirkkabot uses a combination of a managed distrubuted web scraper - ScrapeOps and BeautifulSoup to scrape and parse K-Ruoka page contents.

!! Currently out of order, TwitterAPI1 has been deprecated. TwitterAPI2 requires some OAuth stuff and I'm a bit lazy. API still works! !!
