Does Honey actually support price tracking on QVC or am I just doing it wrong? Ive been using the Honey extension for years on Amazon and Best Buy and usually the Droplist works like a charm but it seems like QVC is a total dead zone. Im looking at a Ninja Creami deluxe bundle for my sisters birthday next month and I really want to keep it under my $200 budget so catching a drop is super important. The extension shows me coupons but I cant find the button to track the price history or get alerts... does QVC block their scrapers? If Honey is a no-go does anyone know a workaround for their weird site layout?
Building on the earlier suggestion, I can tell you from experience that QVC is basically a fortress when it comes to browser extensions. I have been doing this for a long time and you might want to consider why Honey is failing you here. It is not just you, the site is designed to be difficult for scrapers.
Youre spot on, Honey really struggles with QVCs backend. Ive been fairly satisfied with the extension on most sites, but QVC is a different beast entirely. Last Christmas I spent way too much time trying to track a Bose soundbar for my dad. Their site uses some archaic dynamic scripts that basically hide the price from standard scrapers. A couple things I noticed while digging into it:
I spent a few hours digging into this exact problem when I was tracking a KitchenAid Pro for my mom last fall. QVC uses some pretty heavy dynamic loading that basically hides the actual price data from simple scrapers. I am actually pretty happy with how some alternative tools handle it compared to Honey.
