I'm on the UK amazon site, and if I view wishlists on the website it loads more items as you scroll down the page. The script is only returning the items that are displayed when the page first opens, not the hidden items that you have to scroll down to see.

I am trying to use this to automate my gift giving process...
I am able to pull json data from the api - however when I follow the link - it directs me to the generic product page - when I go to the 'buy now' button I see no way to send it to the person of the wish-list...

is this expected behavior? or any Ideas on what may be the issue?

It would appear Amazon changed their code to not allow bots to extract info. Therefore, this no longer works...?

Looks like I am experiencing the same problem in this closed issue. Does your script not work with Amazon UK?

My wishlist URL is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/3GB6I1S5RT2IB

Your ID works fine:
http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=37XI10RRD17X2
but mine returns a "null"
http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=AT9ERHVAMVGT5

I followed you instructions from your page (http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister) but my user ID did not show.
So, I went to my Profile (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AT9ERHVAMVGT5) and took the 13 digit number
Q: Does the ID have to be a Seller ID or can it be a standard buyer ID?
I tried to see what would happen if I switched out my ID with your in the profile http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/37XI10RRD17X2 and it took me to an error page
Thanks for any help!

Hi Justin,

I was looking at your wishlist scraper, and I was able to get it to return correct price data by fixing the class names. I forked your repo -- take a look at it and see what you think.

Thanks.

Did the script still not working or does I use it in wrong way.

http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=B0002FTH66 give "Null", like each other Wishlist-ID I add.

the baby registry and wedding registry have a very similar structure, but doesn't seem to scrape correctly if I have replace the full url with the one with the registry

The service has been working great up until June 29, 2019.

Even the demo wishlist in README.md, http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=37XI10RRD17X2 is now only returning null.

As noticed in #9 - there's currently no support for UK stores.

I don't get the Amazon-"Ideas".

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the great tool! Is it possible to add ISBN (10 and 13) to the list of properties returned in the JSON?

Thanks,
Paul

$array[$i]['price'] = pq($item)->find('span.wlPriceBold strong')->html();

The above line is where it should pick up the price for the item. What is happening is that occasionally it is picking up the Used & New price instead. The striked-out price is never picked up, only the Used & New price.

Thank you for the code. I been using your code for a few years to pull an Amazon wish list and it worked great.
Today I'm trying after a year and it doesn't work. I used your site to pull the same wish list but it returns only 10 items. Can you please help me with the issue?

I'm never worked on PHP, but I think this is where the issue exists.

$items = pq('.g-items-section div[id^="item_"]');
//loop through items
foreach($items as $item)

though i have a few items on the wish list, it doesn't get into the foreach.

I was looking for something like this, but I'm not sure what to do with the various output formats you have. What would be easier for me would be a CSV file I could import into a spreadsheet. Would it be possible to add that as an option, in addition to JSON, XML, and PHP? Thanks!

Hi !
Nice scraper, but could you check this list:

15QUHRVU564QK

Result: null
Using your demo site to enter ID.

I'm in the US and the demo, as well as my test wish lists, all return incorrect price and rating data.

Example:
I'm loading the JSON output from this URL:
http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=31PZU8RK9FP4D&format=json

Here's a snippet of one JSON object output. (You can see old-price = N/A, new price isn't set, rating isn't set, and total-ratings isn't set)

  {
    "num": 1,
    "name": "Lupine 1-Inch Red 15-22-Inch Martingale Combo Collar for Large Dogs",
    "link": "http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B001PNK5F6\/ref=gl_it_dp_v_S_ttl\/175-1155974-2931639?_encoding=UTF8&colid=31PZU8RK9FP4D&coliid=I1IN80OT8Z6UYO",
    "old-price": "N\/A",
    "new-price": "",
    "date-added": "November 20, 2013",
    "priority": "",
    "rating": "N\/A",
    "total-ratings": "",
    "comment": "",
    "picture": "http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41AbIcYrA%2BL._SL500_SL135_.jpg",
    "page": 1
  }

Amazon may have updated something recently that threw off the screen scraper

Fix the scraping of "rating" and "total-ratings" on the new Amazon wishlist, currently set to "N/A"

I am very new to whole of amazon api. It would be really good if you could guide me. I want a user to visit my website and retrieve his wish list of amazon. How do i go about getting his user id in the first place?

I originally raised issue #23 (Can't find issue on composer) and composer.json has now been merged.

Could you also add the project to packagist to make it really easy to include in other projects?

For example, Justin's own feed https://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=37XI10RRD17X2 currently only returns "null" in a 200 "OK" response. This broke within an hour after 2021-07-30 20:05 US/Pacific time.

Please try:

• WIshlist ID: 2DCBK4M6BV1D8
• &tld=de

Umlauts are not converting correctly:
f.e.: Schalldämpfer should be Schalldämpfer

I am trying to use this package but can't find it on composer, is it on there?

If not is it a possibility that it could be added?

Just tried this demo URL:

http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=37XI10RRD17X2

Returns null in the page

Is this broken now?

Hi,

I am struggling to add a line that shows "Offered by Amazon etc". As eventually I want to feature items only available at Amazon.com

For example, on this URL. The last item in the JSON should be "Offered by TV Store Online." for the Dwight Office Bobblehead.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2VYHJKHYDW9CJ
http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=2VYHJKHYDW9CJ

Is this a possible feature to add?

Parsing of the Amazon data seems off as of 2023-07-27. Now "date-added" is always empty. Other fields are off too.

See: http://www.justinscarpetti.com/projects/amazon-wish-lister/api/?id=2W0Q65BXRKQSF

from the demo page, i enter this wishlist id: 38RNAXKYXRZHG, and even though some prices have changed since I added to my wishlist, old_price always shows 'N/A'.

Hi Justin,
I plan on running this script on AWS and use this as a backend for an iOS app which uses a user's wishlist. Can you tell me about the potential legal issues and if I could get IP banned for using this screen scraping tool?

Sorry I put this as an issue, I didn't know how else I could comment.
