Fiverr Buyer Request Notifier

• Update: I worked on this as a side-project to help with my summer side-hustle when times were getting tough with my family. I'm honestly surprised to see people starring a project I worked on years back when I was still in highschool. I'm not sure if the project is functional at all since I'm sure Fiverr's website has changed a lot, but hopefully this serves as a good proof of concept for any that might need it! You got this!
• Background: Fiverr is a popular platform that gives freelancers an easy method to communicate and broadcast their skills to customers.
• Problem: Fiverr does not provide real time notifcations to sellers when a potential buyer puts up an offer.
• Solution: The script checks at set intervals for new buyer requests and notifies the user when a new one is made available.
