# Amazon Search CLI
## Some Notes
### Why Puppeteer?
- Amazon is likely blocking non browser traffic, I tried adding User-Agent in the headers but it did not work for me.
- With Puppeteer I can run DOM queries, so I don't have to use a separate html parser.
### Why Commander?
- Commander provides a clean and extensible API to build CLI commands, promoting scalability and maintaining code cleanliness. plus it is very easy to add subcommands, if required in future.
## Basic Usage
Install Dependencies
```bash
npm i
```
Compile Typescript
```bash
npm run build
```
To get a list of all the commands and options
```bash
node dist/main.js --help
```
Npm script is also available if you prefer
```bash
npm run search -- --help
```
An example usage would be like
```bash
node dist/main.js --sort rating --desc cookies
```
Advanced example
```bash
node dist/main.js --sort rating --desc --prime --limit 5 cookies
```
## Might implement in future
- Stream results as soon as they get parsed
- Pagination options
- Option to search in different countries like amazon.in
