Amazon Price Checker App

This repository contains a Node.js project that uses Playwright for web scrapping. The primary functionality is to check the price of a specified product on Amazon every hour and send an email notification if the price changes from a predefined expected price.

Features

• Automated price checking on Amazon product pages.
• Email notifications for price changes.
• Configurable expected price and email credentials.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (version 14.x or higher)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• An email account for sending notifications (Gmail recommended).

Installation

• git clone [repository-url]
• cd PriceCheckerProject
• npm install

Configuration

Set the Expected Price

• Open amazon.spec.ts.
• Set the EXPECTED_PRICE constant to your desired price.

Email Configuration

• Open amazon.spec.ts.
• Set GMAIL_USER and GMAIL_PASS with your email credentials.
• If using Gmail with 2FA, generate and use an App Password.

Running the Tests

• Run 'npm run test'

The test will navigate to the specified Amazon product page, check the current price, and compare it with the expected price. If there's a difference, an email notification will be sent.

GitHub Actions Workflow

The playwright.yml file in the repository sets up a GitHub Actions workflow for running these tests. Currently, the workflow is configured to be manually triggered (workflow_dispatch). You can change that to trigger the workflow every 1 hour by uncommenting the on schedule block.
