Is Buck Cheap - South Africa Price Tracker safe?

Clean risk

Buck Cheap sends Takealot product details from product pages to api.buck.cheap.

When you browse a supported Takealot product page, Buck Cheap reads the product ID and details such as price, brand, name, and SKU. It sends that product payload to api.buck.cheap using the ProductIngestion endpoint.

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
