How do I create a site which gives the cheapest option of a product

So I want to make a website as a project which gives the link for the cheapest option for a product. In this case, I want to make a comic book site which gives you the links to websites listing them from the cheapest to most expensive place to buy the comic book from (for now I think I will make it about comic books but this could change later). Preferably, if anyone could help, it would be nice if they used html, CSS and python but it does not necessarily have to be these languages.

Example: A person searches and clicks a comic book on the site. And then it shows a box which when holds the link to an amazon page as the lowest costing place to buy it from. And then by clicking that box which contains the link, they are redirected to that website - in this example they would be directed to that page on amazon.

So, if possible someone help me out on how to start this project. If you are not able to do that is it possible to send me a link of a website or video which is helpful/is a tutorial of how to do what I am intending to do as a project it would be very helpful.

Thank you.

What I have tried:

I have tried searching google and tried to find youtube tutorials but I am unable to find any. I have tried finding something that could guide me through the project.

Start by learning HTML, CSS, Python, PHP or C#, MySQL etc.

You visit every prospective vendor / supplier and ask them about their "query API"; if they have one and how to use it. Otherwise, learn how to scrape web pages without violating any use clauses.

if you are looking at the backend being python then I would have a look at either Django, Flask or Fast API.

Also have a look at the documentation for the amazon API's

While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
