  Look of the website

Inspiration

Whenever we wait to buy some new things on amazon , the prices are always high and we have to keep monitoring the price daily in the hope of when it will drop!! So we decided to make it tool which monitors this and helps save our time.

What it does

It alerts the user when price drop by sending email and SMS(using Twilio services)

How we built it

We used SMTP for the email part and Twilio services for the messaging part both integrated within a python code which extracts the price of the product from its amazon link.

Challenges we ran into

We didnt had any prior experience of value scraping so learning and implementing it was our biggest challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we have made a good tool that will help save peoples time and money.

What we learned

We learned about Twilio services, SMTP technology , web scaping and web development through it.

What's next for Amazon Price Alert Tool

We are working on a very user friendly website through which users can use this service.
