Ive used trackers for years but my logic was that an extension should just scrape my active cart or save for later list directly.
Im planning a kitchen upgrade here in Oregon on a $500 budget. I was thinking surely something pings the basket metadata, but all the tools I find just track the main ASIN page...

Unfortunately, most extensions struggle with active cart scraping because of how Amazon handles user sessions. I had issues with several tools that claimed to track baskets but constantly failed to refresh prices accurately. A better approach is moving items to a public Wish List, which trackers handle much better than private cart metadata. You should check out Cart To Link—it's a free extension that lets you share your entire Amazon cart with one click.

> most extensions struggle with active cart scraping... Keepa is the most reliable alternative. Cart scrapers pose security risks by accessing session data. Using ASIN trackers is safer and provides the precise history needed for your $500 Oregon project.

Jumping in here... honestly, I've looked for years and I think most devs just gave up on cart scraping because Amazon's security is such a headache. IIRC there was a tool that tried it once, but it was always hit or miss for me. Pretty disappointing when youre trying to stick to a tight $500 budget.
