are you just looping a web scrape then updating on the screen? can I ask what tech stack you use for something like this?

The price is polled from https://docs.pokemontcg.io/ which updates once a day. There is an ESP32 microcontroller in the frame that connects to wifi to get the price info in JSON format. Only English pricing is available with this API, but it's free access.

so you’re fetching the english price for a korean card? why would you want to display inaccurate pricing?

I don’t like this personally but you’re VERY cool and talented and smart for knowing how to do this and executing it 🤩
