pricy

Simple CLI tool for tracking prices in online stores and sending e-mail notifications when price changes.

Building

Install Rustlang. Build release version:

cargo build --release

Build release version without email support:

cargo build --release --no-default-features

Configuration

Pricy requires configuration toml file where URLs, HTML selectors and optionally SMTP credentials are provided.
You have to provide HTML selector where price is stored on the website in CSS-like syntax.

<div class="price">1899.00</div>

selector = "div.price"

By default inner text value from given selector is used, but you can optionally specify use_selector_attr property which indicates that provided attribute of selector should be used instead, for example:

<span id="price-field" content="123.10">Price is one-two-three-point-ten</span>

selector = "span#price-field"
use_selector_attr = "content"

You can also specify

notify_only_drop = true

for each product in order to be notified only when price drops.
If you want to override default email notification recipients for a product, set

notification_email_recipients = ["SomeRecipient3 <some@recipient3.dom>"]

Example configuration file is here.

Running

You have to provide configuration file path and database file path when running pricy.

pricy --database db.ron --config config.toml

You can display help information with --help.
