Is there way to fix accept language or currency?

Question

I would like to ask how to fix random currency bacause iam trying to make price checker but when i run it for the firt time it gave me the currency in swedish crowns and the few minutes later it gave me different currency i tried accept language and it worked like only 10 minutes and then it changed again and again is there any way to fix it? There is the code

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = "https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Blueprint%20%28Factory%20New%29"
headers = {"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5"}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
html_text = requests .get('https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/USP-S%20%7C%20Blueprint%20%28Factory%20New%29').text
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, 'lxml')
skin_name = soup.find('span', class_ = 'market_listing_item_name').text
sm = soup.find('span', class_ = 'market_listing_price').text.replace('                      ','SM ')
print(skin_name, sm)

If you visit the website, you'll see that the price actually depends on the seller and not you, so it doesn't matter what headers (including Accept-language) you use.

Secondly you're using soup.find which just returns the first occurrence, so it's mostly based on luck what you'll find.

I recommend you to use soup.find_all and looping over it to find the first price in dollars.

sm_list = soup.find_all('span', class_ = 'market_listing_price')
for element in sm_list:
    if 'USD' in element.text:
        sm = element.text.replace('                      ','SM ')
print(skin_name, sm)
