# GoGo Amazon Wish

![](https://github.com/cheshire137/gogoamazonwish/workflows/.github/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)

A Go library to get items from an Amazon wishlist. Unofficial as Amazon

shut down their wishlist API. This uses web scraping to get the items

off a specified wishlist.

## How to use

See [the docs](https://godoc.org/github.com/cheshire137/gogoamazonwish/pkg/amazon).

```sh

go get -u github.com/cheshire137/gogoamazonwish/pkg/amazon

```

```go

import (

  "fmt"

  "log"

  "github.com/cheshire137/gogoamazonwish/pkg/amazon"

)

func main() {

  url := "https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3I6EQPZ8OB1DT"

  wishlist, err := amazon.NewWishlist(url)

  if err != nil {

    log.Fatalln(err)

  }

  items, err := wishlist.Items()

  if err != nil {

    log.Fatalln(err)

  }

  fmt.Printf("Found %d item(s):\n\n", len(items))

  number := 1

  for _itemID, item := range items {

    fmt.Printf("%d) %s\n\n", number, item)

    number++

  }

}

```

## How to develop

I built this with Go version 1.13.4. There's a command-line tool to test

loading an Amazon wishlist that you can run via:

`go run cmd/getwishlist/main.go` _URL to Amazon wishlist_ _[proxy URL]..._

You can specify optional proxy URLs to hit Amazon with. Might be useful if you're

hitting errors about Amazon thinking the tool is a bot.

Sample use:

```sh

go run cmd/getwishlist/main.go "https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3I6EQPZ8OB1DT"

```

To run tests: `make`
