Add Listings to the Database

Add listings to the database (in the listings table) using the command python -m listing_tracker add listing*.

• The first input asks to type or paste the URL to continue.
• The second input asks to confirm the added URL is correct. Any input that starts with a "y" in either (upper/lower) case is accepted as "yes." This includes but is not limited to "y," "Ye," "yeAh," or even "your mama."
• The script then fills in the rest of the columns:
  • it computes the website value by rotating through a list of domains and
  • it fetches the current datetime to the second in UTC and adapts it into ISO format.
• These values are then inserted into the database, after which the success notification is printed:
  • the website is in the statement if a value was found during the rotation while
  • the url is printed instead if no value was found.

*Make sure to replace the python prefix with python3 or py if applicable.
