Filtering Amazon Wishlist items with price drops
Amazon has recently changed their filters on wish list items so you can no longer view items with price drops (useful for books) or sort price from low to high. I wrote up some fairly crappy JavaScript that scrolls to the end of your wish list then removes all the items that don’t have “Price dropped” in the div. I sometimes need to run the code more than once to get all items to be removed, so this is far from perfect, but works for what I was intending it to do. If you have a few hundred items on your list it will take a few seconds to run the script, but each subsequent run should run pretty quick.
Update: I added this to github.
Update 2: I created a Spring Boot app that allows you to set your Amazon wishlist URL and a price drop percentage or price to alert you on. You’ll need to fork the app and update to change values. You’ll get emails when your triggers are hit.
javascript: (function () {
function removeItemsWithoutPriceDrops() {
const lowPrice = 999999;
const priceDropMin = 1;
let anyRemoved = false;
const listItems = document.getElementsByClassName('a-spacing-none g-item-sortable');
for (var i = 0; i < listItems.length; i++) {
let priceDropSpan = listItems[i].querySelectorAll('span.a-size-base.a-color-base');
let priceDrop = priceDropSpan.length > 0 ? priceDropSpan[0].innerText.startsWith('Price dropped') : false;
let price = priceDrop ? listItems[i].querySelectorAll('span.a-offscreen') : 0;
let priceDropPercent = priceDropSpan.length > 0 ? priceDropSpan[0].innerText : '';
priceDropPercent = priceDropPercent.replace('Price dropped', '').replace('% since added', '');
if (!priceDrop || price > lowPrice || parseInt(priceDropPercent) < priceDropMin) {
listItems[i].parentElement.removeChild(listItems[i]);
anyRemoved = true;
}
}
if (anyRemoved) {
removeItemsWithoutPriceDrops();
}
}
removeItemsWithoutPriceDrops();
})();
You can copy and paste the above code directly into a new bookmark.
If you’re having issues with your wishlist loading in all items you need to add ?sort=universal-price to your URL. For example https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/153OV2P85MJD6/?sort=universal-price
