Amazon Price Monitoring

Scrap the product data and alert if the price is the tracking one

Language used is Python 3.8. / Pycharm.

This Python program is designed to scrape product information from the Amazon website and monitor the price of a specific product. If the current price falls below a predefined threshold, the program sends an email notification to alert the user.

Features

  • Web Scraping: Utilizes the requests library to fetch the HTML content of the Amazon product page and BeautifulSoup for parsing.

  • Data Storage: Stores the product information, including date, product code, title, tracking price, current price, and URL, in a CSV file (PriceHistory.csv).

  • Email Notification: Sends an email alert if the current price is below the specified tracking price. Uses the smtplib library for SMTP communication.

  • Continuous Monitoring: The program runs in an infinite loop, periodically checking the product price. The loop is paused for a random time interval between 10 to 20 seconds after each iteration.

Setup

  1. Install the required libraries:

    pip install requests beautifulsoup4 pandas

  2. Update the following variables in the script:

    • url: The URL of the Amazon product page.
    • save_data_file: The path to the CSV file for storing price history.
    • code: Product code.
    • Tracking_Price: The desired price threshold for triggering an email alert.
    • gmail_user: Your Gmail email address.
    • gmail_password: Your Gmail account password.
    • to: Email addresses to receive notifications.

  3. Run the script:

    python your_script_name.py

Notes

  • Make sure to keep your Gmail credentials secure and consider using an application-specific password for enhanced security.
  • Adjust the monitoring frequency and other parameters according to your preferences.

Feel free to customize the script further based on your needs and preferences. Happy monitoring!
