Amazon Daily Deals Scraper

The options to scrape data are code/front-end and code/back-end:

The file front-end-scrape-main.js inside the code/front-end folder goes through each daily deals page and scrapes data from the DOM. It gets limited data about all 1000 deals.

The file back-end-scrape-main.js inside the code/back-end folder mimics Amazon's API calls. It gets more detailed data about only 300 deals.

The links-only.js files scrape only the links of the daily deals. There are two options, front-end and back-end. The links are then available in an array.
