wm-pricer

An inelegant helper for checking brickseek for Walmart inventory based on a query to Walmart API.

Requires Walmart API key

install

npm i wm-pricer

programmatic usage

Only one function exported with signature (opts, callback). Callback will be invoked with (err, data) with data being an array of item objects.

The api limits to 25 results each time. So the start arg allows pagination (i.e. for page 2 start at 26).

Provide API key (required)

const WmPricerApi = require('wm-pricer').api
const secrets = require('./secrets.json')
const opts = {zip: 33803, query: '4k tv', start: 1}
 
const main = async () => {
  let data = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    let wmp = WmPricerApi.new(secrets.apiKey)
    wmp.on('error', reject)
    wmp.once('store-query-done', resolve)
    wmp.storeQuery(opts)
  })
}
