Thanks for sharing the code. I used your code above to write a simple Python script, which saves the scraped data in an JSON (or CSV) output file, reads and compares wish prices from an JSON (or CSV) input file to that file and sends an email alert if the scraped price drops to (or below) the given wish price. Here is the link to it on GitHub.

The error is with one of the ASINs for a product.... Anyone have any tips to correct this?
If I were smarter I'd actually error check my code.... I see what I did now. Whoops.
Thank you for the code! Hopefully this makes my job a little bit easier.

How can I change this script to work for amazon.in site.

Thanks in advance.
