Amazon Assistant 🛒

⚠ Terms-of-Service notice. Amazon's Conditions of Use prohibit automated access, scraping, and bots. This skill drives a real browser session with the user's own cookies — Amazon may still treat that as a ToS violation, throw CAPTCHAs, or in repeated cases suspend the account. Use it on your own account, at a human pace, and accept the risk. The skill never places orders unattended — final submission is always a human click.

Core Principle

Amazon has no public consumer API for cart/checkout/order operations. The only viable automation path is cookie-based session reuse with a headed (visible) browser:

1. Phase 1 — Setup (one-time per device/account): open a visible Chromium, user logs in manually, cookies are captured.
2. Phase 2 — Operate (reusable): load cookies, run scripted operations (search, cart, orders, deals, insights).
3. Phase 3 — Checkout (always human-confirmed): the script builds the cart and opens the checkout page. The user clicks "Place Order".

Why headed and not headless: Amazon's anti-bot stack (PerimeterX-style fingerprinting) detects navigator.webdriver, missing WebGL, headless Chrome user-agents, etc. A visible Chromium with a real cookie set passes the bar far more reliably and tends to avoid CAPTCHAs. The script does support --headless for the read-only operations (search, product, deals) where the risk is lower.
