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: ['johndoe@gmail.com'],
		movies: ['janedoe@gmail.com, 'jackdoe@gmail.com']
	},
	
	// Provide SMTP credentials for sending emails
	smtpCredentials: {
		from: 'sender.email@gmail.com',
		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'
})
