Hey @tejan-singh Can I work on this issue in NodeJS?

[HaripriyaB]

I'm not able to get the api to fetch product details... does anyone know which endpoint to be used?

[TaniaMalhotra]

Same here @HaripriyaB
I did find this one but it seems to be paid

[HaripriyaB]

One way is to use selenium automation. That will be almost similar in all the languages. @tejan-singh pls give your suggestion

[TaniaMalhotra]

The one I mentioned above (https://rapidapi.com/axesso/api/axesso-amazon-data-service1) does have a freemium too but requires me to enter the credit card number.
If it's possible for maintainers to get their own key during testing, I can proceed with this api.

[tejan-singh]

@TaniaMalhotra @HaripriyaB you can use BeautifulSoup

[tejan-singh]

@Ninjavin you can work in NodeJS

[tejan-singh]

@HaripriyaB if you cannot find other way, then you can solve it with selenium.
