Hi everyone, this is a quick project I wanted to share. Made it for myself but then tweaked it a bit so other could use it too. Pretty simple goal: amazon price is checked regularly and you receive an email when it is below whatever you set the trigger. Obviously there are many additions I have in mind but will only put more time if people want me to. Works fine as-is for me. Let me know what you think or if you break it! :)

    Don't you need to be an affiliate bringing them a decent amount of sales before you get access to that. Usually there is a rate limit that makes it impossible to keep up with all their prices. How did you get around that?
