Python CLI tool aggregates prices from major online marketplaces

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a command-line interface (CLI) tool using Python to streamline price comparisons across multiple online marketplaces. The tool, named `price_finder.py`, leverages the BuyWhere MCP server to search for products on platforms like Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, and Qoo10. Users can input a product query and specify a country, and the tool returns a sorted list of the best deals with affiliate links. AI
