Hey all,
I’ve been a Woot regular for a while, and like a lot of you I kept missing deals that sold out before I even saw them. At some point I started tinkering with their public API just for myself - mostly to keep an eye on price history, because I got burned a couple of times thinking I was getting a great deal when it really wasn’t that special.
That little script kind of grew into a small website over time. It shows the active deals across the categories, tracks prices over time, and tries to give each deal a rough score so you can quickly tell if something is actually worth a look. Nothing fancy, and definitely still a work in progress - there are rough edges, and I’m sure I’ve missed things.
I’m posting it here mostly because I’d genuinely like feedback. What would make something like this useful to you? What’s missing? What’s annoying? I’d rather build what people actually want than keep guessing.
Anyway, here it is if you want to take a peek:

Interesting. Where are you getting the Amazon prices from? Something seems off or I’m not reading it correctly.
For example, on this one, I get not available on Amazon .
And this one says $10 above Amazon but I see $159.. The price hasn’t changed in almost a month.
Thanks for the detailed feedback — you’re right on both counts, and both are fixed:
-
The site no longer shows an Amazon comparison when the item is unavailable on Amazon. If there’s nothing to compare against, the badge is gone.
-
The wrong price was a parsing bug — it grabbed the “New from $89.99” sidebar offer instead of the real buybox price. It now only reads the actual “Add to Cart” price.
Your two examples should be clean now. If you spot any more cases where the Amazon price looks off, please keep them coming — that’s the most useful feedback this project can get.

This one seems off too. I’m seeing it on Amazon for $115.99, down from $167.99, not the $269.99 that was referenced

Thank you for the feedback, I think I found the issue. I was also pulling the prices of third Party.
