• An Amazon product URL

Setup

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/<your‑username>/amazon-price-tracker.git
   cd amazon-price-tracker
   

2. Create & edit a .env file In the project root, create a file named .env containing:

    MY_EMAIL=your‑[email protected]
    MY_PASSWORD=your‑gmail‑app‑password

• MY_EMAIL: the Gmail address you’ll send from (and to)
• MY_PASSWORD: an App Password generated in your Google Account (not your regular login password)

---

Usage

1. Run the script

    python main.py

2. Enter your target price when prompted:

    What your tagert price for that product? : 120 

3. The script will:
   • Scrape the current price from the Amazon product page
   • If the price is lower than your target, send an email to your MY_EMAIL

Customization

• Change product URL In main.py, update the Product_URL constant to any Amazon product page URL.
  • Modify headers If scraping fails, you can adjust the headers dict to mimic a different browser or locale.

---

How it works

• Load environment variables via python-dotenv.
  • Fetch page HTML using requests with custom headers.
• Parse price with BeautifulSoup, extracting the element with class a-offscreen.
  • Compare the scraped price (float) to your entered target.
• Send email using Gmail’s SMTP server if the condition is met.
