explanation:
1. **imports**: we import necessary libraries for http requests, html parsing, and data handling.
2. **get_amazon_price()**: this function takes a product url, makes a request to amazon, and parses the html to find the price.
3. **track_price()**: fetches the current price, records the date, and appends the price to a csv file for historical tracking.
4. **main execution**: replace the sample url with the desired product link to track its price.

notes:
- be mindful of amazon's terms of service regarding web scraping.
