webtask-pricewatch
A little service I wrote to familiarize myself with webtask. It scrapes Amazon product pages for prices, and keeps track of the dates with the best prices for each product.
Setup
- Create a MongoDB instance with a database named 'pricewatch' and a collection named 'products'
wt create --secret MONGO_URL=<MY_MONGODB_URL> app.js
APIs
GET /add/:amazonProductId will track an Amazon product page for its price, if it wasn't being tracked before.
GET /update will get the latest prices for all existing tracked products.
GET / will show a page with the best prices (and the dates they occurred) for all tracked products.
