YAAW.de - Yet Another Pricetracker for Amazon

YAAW.de is a price monitoring service for Amazon products that informs you about positive price changes of your desired products.

Usage

• For the registration only the E-Mail-address is needed.
• Amazon products can then be saved with the indication of their URL.
• Another input field allows you to enter a specific desired price, or a upper price limit for the product.
• If the price falls below this value, a notification is automatically sent to the corresponding e-mail.
• A list of the monitored products allows a quick overview of the price history.

Contribute

I'm happy about pull requests. I do not actively develop the project because it already meets the basic requirements for a price guard. However, I would be happy about an internationalization. Translations would have to be added. Currently YAAW.de is mostly for the Amazon.de market with german messages.

Roadmap (To-Dos)

• Multilanguage support

Setup your own pricetracker for amazon

1. Create MySql Database. Import \docs\Database\yaaw.sql
2. Register Amazon account and create AWS API Keys.
3. Create secrets.php into \core.

   <?php
   // Amazon secrets
   define('AWS_PUBLIC_KEY', 'AWS_PUBLIC_KEY');
   define('AWS_PRIVATE_KEY', 'AWS_PRIVATE_KEY');
   define('ASSOCIATE_TAG', 'yaaw-21'); // Put your Affiliate Code here
   
   // MySql secrets
   define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
   define('DB_USER', 'DB_USER');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'DB_PASSWORD');
   define('DB_DATABASE', 'DB_DATABASE');
   
   // Common
   define('CORS', 'https://www.yaaw.de');
   define('WATCHER_URI', 'https://www.yaaw.de');
   define('ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'ADMIN_PASSWORD');
   ?>
   

4. Add Cronjob to enable price tracking and email notifications.

   * * * * * /usr/bin/curl -m 59 -s 'yourhost/core/control/autoload.php?admin=ADMIN_PASSWORD' &>/dev/null
   

5. Check url variable within \assets\js\app.js to locate the running backend.
