Get your CSV reports back from amazon!
US users have a nice 'Download report' feature that lets them get a CSV with all items they bought on amazon.com, but unfortunately, the feature is not there (yet?) everywhere in the world. At least it doesn't work in Germany, or maybe only for my account. He. This script tries to bring the feature to all amazon users.
You need to install the Selenium Web Driver for either Firefox or
Chrome/Chromium, and make sure that the executable is in your PATH
environment variable. Then, I suggest creating a virtualenv for python, but of
course it's optional. To install all dependencies, run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
And finally, run:
python amazon-report.py
The script will ask for the URL to use (without http:// or https://), the driver to use (according to what you installed), and your credentials to fetch your data. They're obviously not stored anywhere, see the code for yourself!
Unfortunately replicating the POST calls that the website makes to Amazon's
servers is no longer a trivial task, as the JS is using some sorcery to encode
several headers/parameters that let requests go through. Since I wanted to
play with Selenium anyway, I went for that instead. However, the script
obviously heavily relies on the web page structure at the time I wrote the
script for my own needs, so it can easily break as soon as they change their
layout. Try and open an issue, if you're reading this and this happens to you!
