Show HN: Price Check Service for Twitter
A new service to perform prices checks immediately via twitter and return them to users. To request a price check, tweet #pricecheck followed by the name of the item you want priced out. Currently providing best prices on Amazon; more to come soon. This service was built with Node.js.
- zackproser 13y agoWe just launched!
- chaud 13y agoYou just got suspended!
- GotAnyMegadeth 13y agoGreat idea, I'm getting undefined as much as real answers so far... Is there a way of specifying UK only? How do you get past the twitter API limits?
- zackproser 13y agoThanks for trying it out - we've pushed a fix that should address the undefined bug. We're still US only right, sorry! We'd have to start geolocating tweets to provide support for other countries. We're currently operating within the limits. Best, Team #pricecheck
- GotAnyMegadeth 13y agoCool, thanks for your reply. You could use the hash tag #pricecheckUK or #pricecheck and #uk or something when you decide to branch out. Also do you have a plan for when you do start reaching the limits?
- RossM 13y agoI presume the domain redirects to a Twitter feed, as I get a Twitter account suspended message :/
- resu 13y agoIs the site working?
- TannerLD 13y agoSince the account is suspended, what did it do?
- zackproser 13y agoDue to account suspension, please now tweet @fastpricecheck [item name] Pivot!!
- ericclemmons 13y agoBest "pivot" I've seen :)
- zackproser 13y agoShould be fixed now!
