Nobody wants to compete. I just shared something I use myself, hoping it could help someone else. Of course, to keep it running, I need to make a profit, since the Amazon API alone…

Unfortunately, this is what I sometimes experience, and I am not sure there's much that can be done. I am already trying to filter out outliers, but if a price looks "plausible", t…

I am still working on availability, but prices should look more accurate for US products

I was thinking about including additional stores at some point, but mainly from the EU. Once Amazon's pricing issues stabilize, I will try including some more sources!

You are onto something, I am using a mix of scraping and APIs, and the scraped products don't seem to be accurate due to a faulty CSS selector. I am running the process once again …

I tried to have a look, but from my associates central, I cannot enable affiliations on the Indian store, sorry! Moreover, I am not familiar with the Flipkart platform myself

Many users are pointing out that the concept is very similar. The product listings are perhaps different?

Yes, I guess I should have done some more due diligence before reinventing the wheel... Hopefully, I will find some ways to differentiate. Something I don't see there is a filter b…

Thanks for the feedback! These prices are 5-6 hours old. While working on this site, I noticed that Amazon pricing can be very dynamic. Moreover, it could be that Amazon is returni…

Oh well... nevertheless, it was a fun project to work on, and it still is! I am planning to add some aggregated statistics (e.g. price trends by brand/category)

Comment #46712299
Thanks for the input! This should be the price as shown in the product listings for the category. Perhaps, depending on product availability, you are shown different prices on the …
