• Better Way:-

2. Create an account, upload all the files.
3. Since this code runs a selenium web driver to scrape the site we need to run a virtual display while hosting the code on Pythonanywhere using the command xvfb-run -a python3.6 /home/myusername/myfolder/myscript.py (more on)
4. To run the code at intervals link
