pricecheck

pricecheck

Pricecheck is a command line tool to retrieve prices listed on the Web.

Usage

Pricecheck requires two YAML configuration files: one for stores, and one for products. See the included YAML configuration files to understand their required format. The stores file requires an XPath to locate the price in the DOM; these are similar to, but not compatible with, more familiar jQuery selectors.

(Note: Go is a compiled language. To run Pricecheck, you must first compile the application.)

From the command line, run like so:

$ ./pricecheck -s stores.yaml -p products.yaml

Quirks

• Cannot retrieve multiple prices from the same domain (e.g., display both the Nook and the hardcover price from Barnes & Noble)
