Awesome: This script works great! Thank you @kyletmiller and @MichaelLawton

Challenge: I'd like to SELECT which items from my "Saved for later" that I will delete (or move to a wishlist).

Idea: Who can modify this script so that it first scrapes all the sc-saved-cart items to a text file? Then I can go edit that list, by deleting all the items I do NOT want to take action on. Then I would run a second script that pulls from my edited text file to delete (or move) ONLY the items listed in the text file.

I would do this myself, but I don't know how to write/read output to a text file.

Approach: The approach would be similar to the initial script, but instead of doing
query[0].click();
in the first if-loop,
just write the
aria-label
value as a new line in a text file.

Hint, here is what the source code looks like for an item currently in my "Saved for later":

<input name="submit.move-to-wishlist.S83021b45-474b-4f41-bd42-7427470b9789"
     value="Move to Wish List"
     data-action="move-to-wishlist"
     aria-label="Move to Wish List The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can&amp;#39;t Cure Our Social Ills"
     type="button"
     class="a-color-link"/>

(The second if-loop is not needed in this first script, because its action will instead be completed by a second script to be run later.)

When the first script is complete, the text file can then be edited however I wish.

THEN, I run a second script, which runs as a loop that goes through the whole text file, line by line, where ...

instead of querying on
input[value='Move to Wish List']
it queries on
input[aria-label='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx']

where 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
is a line from the text file

For example:
document.querySelectorAll("#sc-saved-cart input[aria-label='Move to Wish List The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can&#39;t Cure Our Social Ills']")

Seems like it should work? Thanks!

Should you desire to move your items to a Wish List instead of deleting them for good, you can do so with a slight extension to the great script already provided by @MichaelLawton. You'll need to view the source of your Shopping Cart page to get the list/registry ID of your specific list to save them to (should look something like "#registry-XXXXXXXXXXXXX").
function moveToWishList() {
	var query = document.querySelectorAll("#sc-saved-cart input[value='Move to Wish List']")
	if (query.length) {
		query[0].click();
	}
	var query2 = document.querySelectorAll("#registry-XXXXXXXXXXXXX a")
	if (query2.length) {
		query2[0].click();
	}
	if (query.length > 1) {
		setTimeout(moveToWishList,5000);
	}
	else {
		console.log('Finished');
	}
}
moveToWishList();
Thanks for sharing, @MichaelLawton!

A big THANKS also to @MichaelLawton and @kyletmiller for the "moveToWishList" option @ https://gist.github.com/MichaelLawton/ec73c321d62d1b4eaf0f51ca478ccd92#gistcomment-3005931

worked great for me after i changed the 5000 "setTimeout" to 10000 (to give my items more time to load).
i very much appreciate the generosity & time you folks give to the community.

dzg · 2021-07-30T19:54:50Z

Here's a script (adapted from this) to save all cart item in "Save for Later": https://gist.github.com/dzg/0cfe22c496355f20ab6ff24dd00848f3

Adding another one to the fold (might work for Amazon Fresh too)

I use Share-a-Cart for weekly groceries and specific recipes and often I end up with a cart I don't actually want to buy, for example, when I share the entire cart with my partner and they order it instead of me.

Emptying a 50+ item cart is a PITA

So:

function deleteWholeFoodsCart() {
	var query = document.querySelectorAll("#sc-expanded-cart-localmarket input[value='Delete']")
	if (query.length) {
		query[0].click();
	}
	if (query.length > 1) {
		setTimeout(deleteWholeFoodsCart, 500);
	}
	else {
		console.log('Finished');
	}
}
deleteWholeFoodsCart();

Thanks for everyone's contributions!

spurin · 2021-12-12T17:47:05Z

Thanks for sharing, still works well today (albeit, it needs some copy/paste between page refreshes but other than that, it's great)

rachelmstanley · 2022-04-25T15:11:22Z

Hey all..these scripts worked beautifully right up until now. Not sure exactly when they stopped working. However, now, anytime I run the move to wishlist or delete whole foods cart scripts, I get 'undefined' error. Thoughts? Anyone else having this issue and have a solution?

ghost · 2022-07-26T22:41:52Z

thank you

I am also having this issue. I believe it has to do with the new checkboxes to the left of items in the cart to select or deselect them. Haven't had a chance to find a workaround - anyone else taking a look at this?

I have a gist forked from this one to save items from cart into a wishlist and it is broken in the same way.

jnima2022 · 2023-02-28T23:27:31Z

best one yet, delete save for later items. doesn't stop when page reloading more item. Working well in 2023

Hi @briantrease
Any luck with a selective delete/save to the list?
What if there will be a checkbox near every loaded item allowing for selective bulk action? It's better than txt, since you can see the picture.
We'll load the whole list by pressing "Page Down" and waiting multiple times; it loads as much as we need, select the items we want to delete/move and press a single button.
Is it too complicated to write?

jonathandean · 2023-07-18T19:31:12Z

If you're going to go through the saved items to review them anyway why not go through one pass on the website to add them to a wishlist first and then run this to remove everything from saved items when you're done? If you want them back in saved items again later you can easily do it from your wishlist.

For something as complicated as reading/writing from a file to modify the list - it might be better to make a chrome extension with a nice pop up UI view to select specific items/ranges of items. You can build a list of check boxes on click of the extension icon when the pop up opens and then pressing a save button actually executes the javascript on the page for matching items

avagian · 2023-07-24T19:27:33Z

Thanks @MichaelLawton and @mhujsak
Amazon has changed a little bit, here is the modified "Add to list" instead of "Move to Wish List" Version
you can get XXXXXXXXXXXX from your list URL as well https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/XXXXXXXXXXXX
I'll load it all and will leave it overnight. But if 10000 is very slow for you, modify it to a lower number.
p.s. deleteSavedItems workes fine without any mod

function moveToWishList() {
	var query = document.querySelectorAll("#sc-saved-cart input[value='Add to list']")
	if (query.length) {
		query[0].click();
	}
	var query2 = document.querySelectorAll("#cldd-list-name-XXXXXXXXXXXX")
	if (query2.length) {
		query2[0].click();
	}
	if (query.length > 1) {
		setTimeout(moveToWishList,10000);
	}
	else {
		console.log('Finished');
	}
}
moveToWishList();

Thanks, @jonathandean, for the suggestion... The problem is that some deleted/out-of-stock items don't have an "Add to cart" button. Instead, they have "See all buying options," which leads to 404 Dog pages. And I need them in my saved for later for later.. Not even sure if "add to list" would work on these items. Also, my saved-for-later is so big that I was never able to load it all. The crime time-outs and on it with a popup which probably will break the code

MFKDGAF · 2023-10-15T14:08:12Z

Sir, thank you for this quick script! I personally had to modify it for it to work for me. I use chrome and it would just stop after a couple of items. Since I had over 500, I rewrote it to continue or wait to load more. Sharing in case it helps anyone else. :D

function deleteSavedItems() {
	/*
	* This variable finds the delete option from saved items
	*/
	var query = document.querySelectorAll('#sc-saved-cart input[value=Delete]')
	/*
	* This variable finds the amount of saved items you have
	*/
	var savedItems = document.getElementById('sc-saved-cart-list-caption-text').getAttribute('data-saved-item-quantity');
	
	//Loop until finished
	while(savedItems > 0) {
	//Check that our saved items hasn't reached zero index yet
	if (savedItems.length > 0) {
		//Check that there is a delete option for items
		if(query.length) {
			query[0].click();
		}
		//The list isn't zero but no delete option was found, so wait for the page to refresh more saved items
		else if (!query.length) {
		setTimeout(deleteSavedItems, 200);
		}
	}
	//Quickly delete the items that are present
	if (query.length > 1) {
		setTimeout(deleteSavedItems,35);
	}
	savedItems--;
	}
}
deleteSavedItems();

Confirming this still works as of October 15th, 2023.
Thank you for this. This was a life saver. Stupid ex-wife had saved over 600 items.

I get "undefined" , Why?

deosamox · 2024-03-25T21:31:25Z

I've modified this to work in 2024:

function deleteSavedItems() {
    var elements = document.querySelectorAll("input[name^='submit.delete.']");

    if (elements.length > 0) {
        elements.forEach(function(element) {
            element.click();
        });
        setTimeout(deleteSavedItems, 100);
    } else {
        console.log('Finished');
    }
}

deleteSavedItems();

	}
	else {
		console.log('Finished');
	}
}
moveToWishList();

THANK YOU!! @PeterSchuebel , @MichaelLawton and @kyletmiller

xbliss · 2024-05-19T12:47:39Z

Can we do/ add a similar script (direct or via Grease Monkey etc) or via an Extension to do this WishList action(s)?

https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/118938/amazon-wishlists-select-and-move-multiple-items-at-same-time-from-one-default

Amazon Wishlists: Select and Move multiple items at same time from One/ Default Wishlist to others?

Have collected a lot of items on Default Wishlist and would like to MOVE and organize them.

As shown below, one has to select each item one at time from a Default Wishlist to MOVE it to other ones to Organize them.

I was hoping there was some way to select multiple and have them MOVE together to another list - many at one go; I am guessing some kind "multi select" using Checkmarks or something else.

Thoughts & ideas welcome.

Addition to above solution

Working Chrome 08-2024

Just zoom out Chrome window to 25% (or minimum)

Paste this in the dev console

function deleteSavedItems() {
    var elements = document.querySelectorAll("input[name^='submit.delete.']");

    if (elements.length > 0) {
        elements.forEach(function(element) {
            element.click();
        });
        setTimeout(deleteSavedItems, 100);
    } else {
        console.log('Finished');
    }
}

var intervalId = window.setInterval(function(){
  deleteSavedItems();
}, 5000);

Later you can close the tab or you can paste the following code to stop the loop

clearInterval(intervalId)

mittingphx · 2024-10-16T17:08:34Z

I got a little frustrated last night with some of the query limit errors and having to restart the script (my soon to be ex-wife had over 750 items saved), so I rewrote the script, though I think the setInterval in the above script would have handled it just fine.

https://github.com/mittingphx/WebsiteAutomation

mittingphx · 2024-10-16T17:15:04Z

Looks like others also added similar checks to restart the script automatically when you get the quota limit errors. Here's a link to the version that I wrote last night which worked well the first time without any further intervention (super fun to watch the count go down in real time). Fingers cross it continues to work, works great in Oct 2024. https://github.com/mittingphx/WebsiteAutomation
