Amazon wishlist scraper

Python library to grab your Amazon wishlist so you can mess with it programmatically.

1 minute gettings started

Is your wishlist private? Then you will need to authenticate on the command line:

$ wishlist auth

This will prompt you to signin and will even handle 2-factor authentication, after you signin your cookies will be saved so you can run now access your Amazon wishlist.

You can check access to your wishlist on the command line by running:

$ wishlist dump NAME

where NAME is the part of a url like https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/NAME, so, if your wishlist was found at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/9YDNFG31NSSRL then you would run:

$ wishlist dump 9YDNFG31NSSRL

If you wanted to do something in another python script, you can do:

from wishlist.core import Wishlist, ParseError

name = "9YDNFG31NSSRL"
with Wishlist.open() as w:
    for item in w.get(name):
        # do something with the item
        pass

You can check the wishlist.core.WishlistElement code to understand the structure of each wishlist item.

Installation

use pip:

$ pip install wishlist

Or be bleeding edge:

$ pip install "git+https://github.com/Jaymon/wishlist#egg=wishlist"

Other things

• This only works on amazon.com, because I only use amazon.com, if you want it to use a different Amazon site, I take pull requests :)

• Would you rather use php? There’s a library for that (also related).

• Amazon’s advertising api, this is where the officially supported wishlist api used to live.
