As an essential tool in the web scraping ecosystem, BeautifulSoup streamlines data extraction processes and saves developers considerable time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hands-On<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Illustrations\/2.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Required installations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To perform the demo, you require the following installations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Python:<\/strong> Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity, readability, and versatility.<\/li><li><strong>requests: <\/strong>It is a powerful library for making HTTP requests, simplifying interaction with APIs and web services in Python programs.<\/li><li><strong>lxml: <\/strong>It is a Python library used for processing XML and HTML documents efficiently with a simple and intuitive interface.<\/li><li><strong>BeautifulSoup:<\/strong> BeautifulSoup is a Python library for web scraping, parsing HTML, and extracting data from web pages easily.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In this hands-on, we&#8217;ll use Python and the BeautifulSoup library to create an Amazon price tracker. It will send us an email whenever the price of our chosen product drops below the price that we select. First, we&#8217;ll create a new folder to keep our code organized. Then, we&#8217;ll perform web scraping using Python and BeautifulSoup to extract the product&#8217;s price from the Amazon website. After that, we&#8217;ll choose the price at which we want to buy the product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Next, we&#8217;ll prepare an email that will be sent to us if the price falls to or below our chosen number. Lastly, we will schedule our Python script to run once a day so that the price can be checked daily, and if the price drops then we get a notification. By following along, you&#8217;ll have a fun and rewarding experience building your own price trackers not only for Amazon but also for other shopping websites using similar techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a new directory on your local machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Open VS Code and click on open, to open the directory you just created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/2.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After opening the newly created directory, you will see a welcome screen like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/3.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, right-click on the folder structure and click on create new file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/4.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter a file name and save the file as main.py.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/5.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To move forward, we need the product URL from Amazon&#8217;s website. Please select a product of your liking from Amazon. The product displayed below is the one we have chosen for this example. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/Yamaha-F280-Acoustic-Guitar-Natural\/dp\/B08317Y4VP\/ref=sr_1_4?crid=AH51KVDYRJL0&amp;keywords=guitar+yamaha&amp;qid=1690635191&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C244&amp;sr=8-4\">Click to see the URL to the product<\/a>. We will use the product URL later in the tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/6.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s head back to VS Code and open the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the command, as illustrated in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pip install requests<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/7.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On successful installation, you will see the screen as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/8.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, run the below command to install the lxml package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>pip install lxml<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/9.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On successful installation, you will see the screen as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/10.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, run the below command to install the bs4 module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/11.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On successful installation, you will see the screen as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/12.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Import all the required packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/13.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Store the product URL in a variable named URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/14.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">For making the HTTP request, we will need to pass headers with the request. Prepare the header as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/15.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Let&#8217;s proceed with making an HTTP GET request using the URL and header we previously stored. We will capture the response in a variable called &#8220;response.&#8221; This step will allow us to fetch the web page&#8217;s content, utilizing the custom headers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/16.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Next, let&#8217;s print the &#8220;response&#8221; variable to see the content we have obtained from the web page. This will help us examine what data we retrieved through our HTTP GET request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/17.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">After printing the response, we&#8217;ll notice that it generates an extensive and difficult-to-read output. The information is too lengthy to fit within the terminal. To access the entire content, we&#8217;ll save it in a file. By following the code depicted in the image below, we can store the response in a file for easier examination and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/18.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">After running the code, a file containing the complete output will be generated. Our next task is to search for the price of the product within this file and make note of the class of the HTML tag where the price is stored. This step is essential for effectively extracting the price information from the web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/19.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Note down the class name of the HTML tag where the price is located. We will use this class name in the next step. Now, let&#8217;s create a BeautifulSoup object using the &#8220;BeautifulSoup&#8221; class from the &#8220;bs4&#8221; module. We&#8217;ll pass the &#8220;response.content&#8221; as the first argument and use the &#8220;lxml&#8221; parser as the second argument. This will enable us to parse and extract information from the web page easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/20.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Next, we&#8217;ll use BeautifulSoup to extract the product price from the HTML element with the class name &#8220;a-offscreen,&#8221; as we noted earlier. By fetching the text content of this element, we&#8217;ll be able to obtain the product price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/21.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After printing the &#8220;price&#8221; variable, we will be able to see the price of the product on the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/22.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/23.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To handle the currency symbol and comma in the price we retrieved, we&#8217;ll follow a step-by-step process. First, we&#8217;ll convert the price string into a list and remove the currency symbol, leaving only the numeric part. Then, we&#8217;ll loop through the list, appending the numbers to a new result list while ignoring the commas. After that, we&#8217;ll convert the resulting list back to a string and then to a float using the code demonstrated in the image below. This will help us obtain the price in decimal format, making it easier for further calculations or comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/24.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Print the \u201cprice_as_float\u201d variable to see the output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/25.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/26.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Now that we have obtained the product&#8217;s price, our next task is to extract the name of the product. We&#8217;ll achieve this by searching for the product&#8217;s name in the output file generated in the previous steps and identifying the ID of the HTML tag that contains the product&#8217;s name. This way, we&#8217;ll be able to gather all the necessary information about the product for our price-tracking project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/27.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Extract the title from the soup object using the code shown in the image below. strip( ) method is used to remove any leading or trailing whitespaces from the name string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/28.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Print the \u201ctitle\u201d to see the output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/29.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/30.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Next, we&#8217;ll define a target price for purchasing the product.

For now, let&#8217;s focus on scheduling our script using the Windows Task Scheduler to automate its execution on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press the Windows key and search for \u201cTask Scheduler\u201d and click to open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/46.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on \u201cCreate Task\u201d from the right panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/47.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the name of the task and leave other options as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/49.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on \u201cTriggers\u201d and then click on \u201cNew\u201d at the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/50.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose \u201cDaily\u201d from the left panel and leave everything else as it is then click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/51.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, click on \u201cActions\u201d and then click on \u201cNew\u201d at the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/52.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the path to your main.py file and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/workfall-techblogs.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/177\/Images\/53.png\" alt=\"How to Create an Amazon Price Tracker Service Using Python?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our \u201cAction\u201d is created successfully, Now click on OK and close the Task Scheduler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In this hands-on, we&#8217;ve successfully created an Amazon price tracker using Python and the BeautifulSoup library. Now, whenever the price of our selected product drops below our preferred amount, we&#8217;ll receive an email notification. Our code is neatly organized in a new folder, making it easy to manage. The web scraping process efficiently extracts the product&#8217;s price from the Amazon website. We&#8217;ve chosen the price at which we want to make a purchase, and an email template is ready to notify us when the price reaches our target.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To ensure continuous monitoring, we&#8217;ve scheduled the Python script to run daily, automatically checking the price and sending alerts as needed. I hope building this price tracker has been a delightful and rewarding experience, and we can extend this knowledge to create similar trackers for other shopping websites too. We will come up with more such use cases in our upcoming blogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meanwhile\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you are an aspiring Python lover and want to explore more about the above topics, here are a few of our blogs for your reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workfall.com\/learning\/blog\/how-to-build-a-web-scraper-using-python\/\">How to build a Web Scraper using Python?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workfall.com\/learning\/blog\/how-to-execute-linux-commands-in-python\/\">How to Execute Linux Commands in Python?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workfall.com\/learning\/blog\/how-to-easily-build-etl-pipeline-using-python-and-airflow\/\">Easily build ETL Pipeline using Python and Airflow<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned to get all the updates about our upcoming blogs on the cloud and the latest technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Keep Exploring -&gt; Keep Learning -&gt; Keep Mastering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workfall.com\/\">Workfall<\/a>, we strive to provide the best tech and pay opportunities to kickass coders around the world.
