How it works
Reading Price Cut Finder costs nothing and asks nothing of you. The one thing we hold back is the outbound URL itself — and only until the moment you decide to use it.
Crawlers sweep 60+ retailer catalogs on their own cadence — clearance shelves, price cuts, stock flips. Every listing arrives with a list price, a current price, and a timestamp, and the percentage you see is computed from exactly those.
Anything that moves lands on the public feed straight away. No account, no email gate, no drip. Sort it, filter it, link to it — every view of the feed is a real URL.
Deal cards carry no retailer URL at all — just a signed, short-lived reference. When you click, our server exchanges it for the real destination and hands it back. That's why the page source has nothing to scrape.
The click, in detail
Your browser opens a blank tab immediately, while the click is still a user gesture — that's the only way a browser will let us open a tab at all.
It posts the listing's signed reference to our own endpoint. The reference carries a retailer and an item identity, is signed by the API, and expires on its own.
Our server redeems it against the DealHawk API, which looks up the live listing and wraps its URL in the correct affiliate program for that retailer.
The wrapped URL comes back and the waiting tab navigates to it. If the retailer link can't be wrapped, the server refuses to answer at all rather than leaking a bare destination.
