As in one for when new items come out, I have R+ atm, but I want a faster one and I was told by some people that personal notifiers may be faster than commercial ones..

Just curious, post your replies below

Pick a language, spam requests to the page. If something is new, make it pop up.

I have experience in this field, as for a while I ran an automatic new-limited buyer (got #2, #3, and #4s on the recent limiteds excluding the horns)

Basically, what you want to do is find some way to detect when a new item comes out. This typically would involve, as Jarod said, spamming requests to a page (look up the curl library w/ c# if that will be your language of choice)

Although I'm doubtful that you'll be able to exceed the speed of R+, you certainly won't surpass that of the actually API that runs it, so your best bet would probably to just "spam" the API that WebGL3D made for his R+ notifier at an interval higher than that of the extension (I believe the extension sends a request every 5 seconds)
However, I'd advise you that for the sake of WebGL3D's webservers not to over-request his API and cause trouble for him. Perhaps a request every second or so would be good. Good luck.

I was thinking more like requests every 0.5

It's going to take near that time to even load the results, and the more requests you send the longer each subsequent request takes to respond. .75-1 should be fine.
