Amazon Reviews & Questions Notifier

Notifies via email of new Amazon reviews & questions for a set of products.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install amazon-reviews-questions-notifier

Quickstart example:

// Require module
var amazonNotifier = require('amazon-reviews-questions-notifier')

// Run notifier with options
amazonNotifier({

    // An object of categories containing arrays of ASINs
    productList: {
        books: ['0062472100', '1503364127'],
        movies: ['B000O7667K']
    },
    
    // An object of categories containing recipient emails
    emailList: {
        books: ['[e-mail]'],
        movies: ['[e-mail], '[e-mail]']
    },
    
    // Provide SMTP credentials for sending emails
    smtpCredentials: {
        from: '[e-mail]',
        host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
        port: 465,
        user: 'username',
        pass: 'password'
    }

}, function(err, data){

    // Callback function when done
    if(err) throw err
    console.log(data)
    
})

Note: Instead of providing objects, you can also provide the absolute path to a JSON file with the same content that will be read by the module.

// Require module
var amazonNotifier = require('amazon-reviews-questions-notifier')

// Run notifier with options providing paths to JSON files
amazonNotifier({
    productList: 'products.json',
    emailList: 'email.json',
    smptCredentials: 'smpt.json'
})
