pyamacheck

pyamacheck helps you watch price changes of Amazon articles. You can watch as many articles as you want and set a threshold price. If the articles price drops below that, pyamacheck will send an email to you.

Usage

pyamacheck <options>

Adds an article to the watchlist. Just pass an URL to an Amazon article. You can set the threshold percentage using --percent or -p.

Example

 
$ pyamacheck --add http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000R5DU6E/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_i1?pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0G692KGEW2Y13HHM4MNT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375173&pf_rd_i=301128 --percent 5
 
Added item ''StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty'', price is at 46.09, threshold price is 43.79!
 

This will add Starcraft 2 to the list and send an email when its price drops by 5 percent.

Specify an ASIN code and pyamacheck removes the item from its database completely.

Lists all items in the database with their ASIN and current price.

To make pyamacheck update its database, just call it without arguments. You could set up a cronjob, calling it once a day.

Configuration

pyamachecks configuration file has to be put in the folder ".pyamacheck" in your home directory, e.g. "/home/user/.pyamacheck/pyamacheckrc".
