What AS Price Tracker does
AS Price Tracker is the public bot of an open-source project on GitHub, siddiquiaffan/price-tracker, whose README links @AsPriceTrackerBot. It is built for the two shops Indian buyers use most: Amazon India and Flipkart. You send /track followed by a product link, and the bot adds it to your list and sends a message whenever the price changes; /list shows what you are tracking and /stop with a tracking ID removes a product.
The source code shows how it works. Tracked products are checked once an hour, each user has a maximum number of products set by the operator, and Amazon links are rewritten into the author's affiliate link, which is how a free bot pays for itself. Links from other shops are refused with a message.
The project has 86 stars, but the last change to the code was in October 2023 and the bot's Telegram page has no description, so treat it as a hobby tool: fine for watching a phone or a laptop before a sale, not something to rely on for a deal that lasts minutes.

FAQ
How often does it check prices?
Once an hour, according to the project's source code, so a deal that lasts only minutes can be missed.
Does it work with Amazon.com or other countries?
The code builds amazon.in and Flipkart links, so it is meant for India. For Amazon stores in other countries use Keepa (@keepa_bot).
