the favicon.icon he used in the replacement folder provided in the github gist is missing. It is no longer in the folder. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes there isnt a favicon in the folder. just make your own

If anyone is having trouble getting the emails to send in production change your sendEmail function to this:
`export const sendEmail = async (emailContent: EmailContent, sentTo: string[]) => {
const mailOptions = {
from: '[email protected]',
to: sentTo,
html: emailContent.body,
subject: emailContent.subject,
};

await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);

return {};
};`
You need to remove the callback from the nodemailer sendEmail function otherwise it does not return a promise... this cause the script in vercel to be terminated earlier hence not email being sent!

favicon is missing from the G Drive public folder... :-( @adrianhajdin

i got 401 when test cron jobs

t's because the price appears twice within another span within the span.a-price.a-textprice. Need to find a way to ignore the second span class called aria-hidden.

Hey, hey! I had the same issue... It's funny how in the tutorial video this is not happening.

So some Amazon Pages have multiple prices:
Used price, Discounted, and then the replicated hidden prices.

I took me a whole afternoon to figure this out. This part could be more developed in the tutorial. But hey, at least I went on my own to fix it, with the help of bing chat (aka ChatGPT)!

I worked for pages without any discount and pages with discount as well as amazon.de and amazon.com

const currentPrice = extractPrice(
$('span[data-a-color=price] span.a-offscreen').first(),
$('.priceToPay span.a-price-whole').first(),
$('.a.size.base.a-color-price'),
$('.a-button-selected .a-color-base'),
);

    const originalPrice = extractPrice(
        $('span[data-a-strike=true] span.a-offscreen').first()
    );

The ".first()" method helps to remove the same price duplicates or the used price.

Also, if you need to update to Next.js version 14 comment out or remove "serverActions: true", from next.config.js

Does anyone know how to fix this error when trying to run the dev?

I think you are not runing the project from a proper repository folder.

You should be running from your main repository location folder. Did you install .git and nextjs?

LOL don't make your own go take it from the original repo: https://github.com/adrianhajdin/pricewise/tree/main/app

I think your problem lies on

"const NavIcons=["

it should be navIcons and "{navIcons.map((icon) => ("

Also, your spacing is part of the issue It should be "const navIcons = [

You must be precise with the spacing, and you need to fix your indentation.

My << className="object-contain" >> is at line 35 for instance.

I am getting this error, Anyone please help!
I checked my .env.local variables as well as mongodb configuration still nothing!
ALthough it was working before but now without making any changes it is not working!

@bmartinis12 @DailyDisco Did you guys found anything on the above error?
I am also getting the same one along with the MongooseServerSelectionError

I am getting error 503 when I try to scrape a product. Anyone else dealing with this?

=> Already connected to MongoDB

Did you find a solution I am experiencing the same problem right now. It worked the first time, but now I get a 503 error.

Not yet, I will post one here if I find it, or maybe someone will post one here when they find it.

Alright thanks, he mentions in the video that it may not work during development when you are using a localhost, so I am hoping that is what is going wrong and it works in production.

i got its solution. it might be due to the imgUrls it was returning.

image: imgUrls[0]||productImg,

changing to this line helped solve the error

For those of you who've mentioned the missing fav icons, the .svg files are all available in the completed project code - pricewise public assets folder. There you'll find two folders that contain all of the svgs you'll need.

I am facing this issue and I am using this in India. Does it create problems due to different country? Please anybody suggest the solution, how you successfully did it?

Help, i can not reach images in assets with extention .svg

the favicon.icon he used in the replacement folder provided in the github gist is missing. It is no longer in the folder. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes i just made my own

import axios from "axios";
import * as cheerio from "cheerio";
import { extractPrice } from "../utils";

export async function scrapeAmazonProduct(url: string) {
    if(!url) return;

    

    const username = String(process.env.BRIGHT_DATA_USERNAME);
    const password = String(process.env.BRIGHT_DATA_PASSWORD);
    const port = 2225;
    const session_id = (1000000 * Math.random()) | 0;

    const options = {
        auth: {
            username: `${username}-session${session_id}`,
            password,
        },
        host: 'brd.superproxy.io',
        port,
        rejectUnauthorized: false,
    }

    try {
        // Fetch product page
        const response = await axios.get(url, options);
        const $ = cheerio.load(response.data);

        // Get product title
        const title = $('#productTitle').text().trim();
        const currentPrice = extractPrice(
            $('.priceToPay span.a-price-whole'),
            $('a.size.base.a-color-price'),
            $('.a-button-selected .a-color-base'),

        console.log({title, currentPrice});
    } catch (error: any) {
        throw new Error(`Failed to scrape product: ${error.message}`);
    }
}

Can anyone help me figure out why price price is displaying these extra numbers? I cannot figure this out

I've created and hosted my website on vercel but the website does not always work , it works sometimes properly and becomes unresponsive sometimes, It does not show any error in the console . Even the cron job is failing as i've recieved a few mails of cron jobs failure.

You need to parse it properly. Try the below code
export function extractPrice(...args: any){ for(const element of args){ const price = element.text().trim(); if(price){ return price.replace(/\D/g, ''); } } return ""; }

Brother where do you change that line?

After deployment, how can the public open the website? I tried opening the link and it says I am not a member of the team and therefore cant view the page.

Hy Guys i am facing the problem that In DB Image and Descreption is not storing other than all the details are storing

` product = {
...scrapedProduct,
priceHistory : updatePriceHistory,
lowestPrice : getLowestPrice(updatePriceHistory),
highestPrice : getHighestPrice(updatePriceHistory),
averagePrice : getAveragePrice(updatePriceHistory),

        }
        console.log(product); //  here i am getting all the details `   

**When i Console log this i get all the details about the product **

` const newProduct = await Product.findOneAndUpdate(
{ url : scrapedProduct.url},
product,
{ upsert : true , new : true}
)

       console.log(newProduct); // here i am not getting all details `   

**When i log this i am not getting getting details like Images , Descreption and users details **

This is the Db Images what i am getting

this is code and repo link

https://github.com/viibhuGupta/eCommerce-Price-Tracker/blob/main/lib/actions/index.ts

I was able to extract the description and categories!

My next goal is to get all the images of the product and show it similar to how the carousel is on home page but without the autoplay
Here is my repo if anyone want to see how: https://github.com/neelp03/pricetracker

FYI headless UI deprecated a lot of the old components.

It easy to transition to the new version but might be a little tricky to find the correct components since a few have been renamed completely. See my repo linked above to see how to implement the track model with the new version!

I am getting this error when i try to scrape any product.

Anyone having issues with the logos and favicon? It is not displaying properly on VS Code for me....

I am facing this issue and I am using this in India. Does it create problems due to different country? Please anybody suggest the solution, how you successfully did it?

@vivek9124vivek Maybe you missed "use server" in the file where you made axios request. Or you didn't enable serverActions in next.config.js.
