Amazon Research & Price Tracking
Research Amazon products and track prices over time.
Quick Start
Search Products
# Search for product
./scripts/amazon_search.sh "Alu Profil 20x20"
# Search with filters
./scripts/amazon_search.sh "iPhone 15" --max-price 800 --prime-only
Track Price
# Add product to price tracking
./scripts/price_tracker.sh add "B08XXXXXX" "Alu Profil 20x20"
# Check all tracked products
./scripts/price_tracker.sh list
# Get price history
./scripts/price_tracker.sh history "B08XXXXXX"
Features
- Product Search: Find products by keyword, category, price range
- Price Tracking: Monitor price changes over time
- Deal Alerts: Get notified when price drops below threshold
- Comparison: Compare similar products side-by-side
- Wishlist: Save products with target prices
Database Schema
SQLite database: ~/workspace/Projects/Amazon-Research/amazon_prices.db
Tables:
products- Product details (ASIN, title, category)price_history- Timestamped price dataalerts- User-defined price alertswishlist- Saved products with target prices
Price Tracking Workflow
- Search → Find product on Amazon
- Add → Add to tracking database
- Monitor → Cron job checks prices daily
- Alert → Notification when price drops
Cron Setup
# Check prices daily at 9:00
0 9 * * * ~/workspace/skills/amazon-research/scripts/price_checker.sh
Resources
references/amazon_api.md- Amazon API documentationassets/search_templates/- Common search queries
Alternative: Manual Research
Since Amazon API requires approval, use web scraping or manual entry:
# Add product manually
python3 scripts/add_product.py --asin "B08XXXXXX" --title "Product Name" --price 19.99
Integration with Other Skills
- Kleinanzeigen: Compare new vs. used prices
- Shopping List: Add researched items to buy list
- Budget: Track planned expenses
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with a local, manual/simulated price tracker rather than real Amazon price monitoring. Do not run the cron setup unless you intentionally want a daily background task, and inspect the crontab line first. Treat stored product and price history as local retained data, and verify prices on Amazon before making purchase decisions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is Amazon product research, price tracking, deal alerts, comparison, and wishlist management, but the implemented tracker mainly stores manually entered data in SQLite and the daily checker simulates price changes rather than fetching Amazon prices.
Instruction Scope
The skill instructions reference missing or inconsistent commands and present some static reference data as if tracking and alerts are live, which could mislead an agent or user about the freshness and source of prices.
Install Mechanism
There are no dependency installs and scans are clean, but scripts/setup_cron.sh directly writes a crontab entry without confirmation, duplicate checks, or a narrowly scoped uninstall path.
Credentials
The local SQLite database and logs fit a price tracker, but they retain shopping interests and price history under a fixed workspace path with limited privacy and retention disclosure; no credential theft or external exfiltration was found.
Persistence & Privilege
Daily cron persistence is purpose-aligned for monitoring, but the setup script establishes unattended recurring execution with hard-coded paths and minimal user control.
