Is it possible to scrape the Product Comments? #4

Open ianmonat opened 6 years ago

Hi - very cool project.

I'm just throwing this out there - it would be very useful if the product's comments/reviews could be scraped. Then, from the CSV file, I could run some text analysis or a word cloud, to see what the customers are saying about the product.

I'm not a skilled enough programmer to attempt to add this myself but would be excited to see it added.

Thanks -Ian

Hi there,

That sounds like a good idea. amazon2csv could extract comments if you entered a product page url and a --comments arg. Apart from the comments, do you think that we could get a decent csv based on the product page ?

amazon2csv could extract comments if you entered a product page url and a --comments arg.

...just to be clear - can I do this now? Or would this feature have to be built out?

@tducret based on the asin number/code we could only go for the scraping of comments in that page

@ianmonat Sorry, but it is not implemented yet.
