On setup, it wasn't working, perhaps because of hotlinked files in the requirements.txt.
Is it possible to use this for price charting on a recurring basis?

Please let me know. In the meantime I set up eBay price tracking with PriceLasso.

I also tried to set up the charts with some dummy data, and wasn't having luck. Is there a special plotting libary I need to install?

It's possible, you may want to just use the environment.yml, either directly or just pip install them individually. It's been four years since I last touched this code, so it's possible that a package that used to work wouldn't anymore, but I doubt it.

The main limitation of price charting with this program now is that, as of four years ago, eBay added CAPTCHAs when one hits their website regularly which I didn't feel comfortable coding around. That may or may not have changed by now.

But if you download the XML directly, it should in theory work, but good chance you'd need to modify the code to some degree.

I do encourage you to check out Terapeak - https://www.ebay.com/sh/research?marketplace=EBAY-US&tabName=SOLD it's eBay's official tool, though there's no official way to download data from it.

The only plotting library required should be matplotlib, nothing fancy. Possibly the data isn't set up properly. I wouldn't be able to do anything until next week sometime, but if you want to share the dummy data I could check it out.
