AmazonBeat is an elastic beat that reads data about Amazon products and indexes them into elasticsearch. You can configure which products can be read.
To use AmazonBeat, you'll need a valid ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number). ASINs are unique blocks of 10 letters and/or numbers that identify items. You can find the ASIN on the item's product information page at Amazon.com and in the URL for the page. The quickest way to find your product's ASIN is to look in your browser's address bar.
To get running with Amazonbeat and also install the dependencies, run the following command:
