......Subtitle _ 02_How to Track Amazon Prices in Real-Time with Go and SerpApi (Part 2)


<p>Amazon prices change every hour. What if you could track any product price in real-time with 50 lines of Go?</p>


<p>This is Part 2 of my <b>Go + SerpApi Production Series</b>. In <a href="https://blogspotangola.blogspot.com/2026/09/how-to-search-google-jobs-in-real-time.html" target="_blank">Part 1 we built a Google Jobs search engine</a>, now we will build an Amazon Price Tracker.</p>


<p><b>Full Code Repo:</b> <a href="https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples" target="_blank">github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples</a><br>

<b>Direct Code for this tutorial:</b> <a href="https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples/tree/main/02-amazon-price-tracker" target="_blank">02-amazon-price-tracker folder</a></p>


<h3>Why SerpApi for Amazon?</h3>

<p>Scraping Amazon directly = CAPTCHAs, blocks, and broken selectors. SerpApi's <code>amazon</code> engine returns clean, structured JSON with price, rating, title, and link. No maintenance.</p>


<h3>The Code (Go)</h3>

<p>File: <code>02-amazon-price-tracker/main.go</code></p>


<pre><code>export SERPAPI_KEY="your_key"

go run main.go -q "MacBook Pro M3"

</code></pre>


<p>This will return the top 5 results with live price.</p>


<h3>What you will learn</h3>

<ul>

<li>How to use SerpApi Amazon engine with Golang</li>

<li>How to extract price, rating, and product link</li>

<li>How to build a base for a price-alert bot (Telegram / Email)</li>

</ul>


<h3>Full Source</h3>

<p>Clone the series:</p>

<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples.git

</code></pre>


<h3>What's Next?</h3>

<p>Part 3: Google Maps Nearby Places - Search any place (restaurants, gyms, cafes) with Go.</p>

....Subtitle _ 03 _How to Find Nearby Places with Go and SerpApi Google Maps API (Part 3)


<p>How do you build a "Near Me" app with Go? Coffee shops, gyms, restaurants with real ratings?</p>


<p>This is Part 3 and final of my <b>Go + SerpApi Production Series</b>. We already built Google Jobs and Amazon Price Tracker. Now we master Google Maps.</p>


<p>

<b>🌍 Full Series Repo:</b> <a href="https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples/tree/main" target="_blank">github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples/tree/main</a><br>

<b>📂 Code for THIS tutorial:</b> <a href="https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples/tree/main/03-google-maps-nearby" target="_blank">03-google-maps-nearby (Correct Link)</a>

</p>


<h3>Why SerpApi for Google Maps?</h3>

<p>Official Google Maps API is expensive and complex. SerpApi's <code>google_maps</code> engine returns <code>local_results</code> with title, address, rating, reviews, type - all as clean JSON. Perfect for Go devs.</p>


<h3>The Code - Runnable in 10 seconds</h3>

<pre><code>export SERPAPI_KEY="your_key"

git clone https://github.com/Aureliopires186/go-serpapi-examples.git

cd 03-google-maps-nearby

go run main.go -q "coffee shop" -l "@-8.838333,13.234444,14z"

</code></pre>

<p>This searches for coffee shops near Luanda, Angola 🇦🇴 (my city).</p>
