Amazon killed API access for one of my favorite apps, price tracker DropScout. Its developer, Daniel Kramer, writes on Mastodon:
Amazon has pulled my API access and the app is non-functional as a result. I’m looking for find a solution but the future doesn’t look good.
Apparently it’s against terms of service to track prices. There are other apps that do this so it’s a bit surprising. Apparently they’ve given other services permission and I’m trying to see if they will allow DropScout to do this.
DropScout is my favorite in its class of apps and I hope Daniel gets his API access back.
