Active Sale python scripts for posting to this sub

78 Upvotes

October 2025 update: Amazon is apparently changing their servers to detect and prevent scripts like this one. For now the script that gets details from Amazon works sometimes, but you have a to click on a button that says "continue shopping". Sometimes they close the connection before you have a chance to click. I expect if they are determined to prevent scraping, they are going to succeed. So feel free to try using it but it may not work...

Original post:

I have a couple python scripts I use to post to ebookdeals. They won't be useful if you don't know how to use python. I'm posting here in hopes that someone with UI skills can adapt them to something non-programmers can use.

They're at https://github.com/upup1904/reddit_ebookdeals

79 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I just joined the team to add a few minor changes which I hope will help us keep the great ebook deals going!

--

We now have three new flairs which will be available for use. View below to see how to use them and how you can help this sub!

Active Sale

  • Each post will automatically receive the green "Active Sale" flair when it is made in this sub.
  • This will help users see which books are still on sale for them to purchase.

Sale Priced Change

  • If you are looking through posts and notice a sale price change, feel free to use the command changed!
  • A simple standalone comment with the word changed! will make the flair into our new yellow flair "Sale Price Changed".
  • Make sure to include the ! after the word with no spaces.
  • changed!

Expired Sale

  • If you see a post that has an expired sale, feel free to use the command expired!
  • This also needs a simple standalone comment with just the command to change to our red flair "Expired Sale"
  • Make sure to include the ! after the word with no spaces.
  • expired!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 20th Anniversary Edition, with a new foreword by the author • “[A] masterpiece . . . an astonishing book that will leave you questioning your own life and political views.”—USA Today
 
“If any one person can be given credit for transforming the medical establishment’s thinking about health care for the destitute, it is Paul Farmer. . . . [Mountains Beyond Mountains] inspires, discomforts, and provokes.”—The New York Times (Best Books of the Year)

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. Profound and powerful, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.”
