Alertz0n

This is a simple Amazon price tracker built in TypeScript that monitors the price of an Amazon product and sends a notification to a Discord server via a webhook if the price drops below a specified threshold. I used it to acquire a Ryzen 7 9800x3d CPU. You can use it for w/e you want.

Features

• Scrapes product prices from Amazon using cheerio.
• Uses fetch for HTTP requests.
• Sends price drop alerts to a Discord channel via a webhook.
• Configurable price threshold, product ID, and check interval.
• Written in TypeScript for type safety and maintainability.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Install Node.js (v20 or higher).
• npm or yarn: Included with Node.js, required for managing dependencies.
• Discord Webhook: Create a webhook in your Discord server:
  1. Navigate to your Discord server.
  2. Go to Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks.
  3. Create a new webhook and copy the URL.
• Amazon Product ID: Identify the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) for the product you want to track. The ASIN can be found in the product URL, e.g., https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKFMSMYK (ASIN: B0DKFMSMYK). This is the AMAZON_PRODUCT_ID in the .env file.
