Shop::eBay: eBay search results parser

Shop::Ebay product parser overview

Using the eBay product parser, you can get data from the product card, collect a database of links to products, track the dynamics of prices for the product, changes in the number of sellers, collect the rating score and the number of reviews for the product, and collect product images.

A-Parser functionality allows you to save parsing settings for further use (presets), set a parsing schedule, and much more. You can use automatic query multiplication, substitution of subqueries from files, enumeration of alphanumeric combinations and lists to get the maximum possible number of results.

Collected data

Product name
Link to product
Product image
Price and old price
Currency
Rating and number of comments
Number of sellers
Additional information

Use cases

Collecting links to products
Evaluating product popularity
Tracking the dynamics of prices and product popularity

Query examples

As queries, you need to specify the names of products, just as if you were entering them directly into the Ebay search form, for example:

mi band 6
iPhone 11
kingston CanvasGo+
AMD Ryzen R3 2200U

Query substitutions

You can use built-in macros to multiply queries, for example, we want to get a very large database of products by brands

philips
sony
xiaomi
samsung

In the query format, we will specify the enumeration of characters from a to zzzz, this method allows you to rotate the search results as much as possible and get many new unique results:

$query {az:a:zzzz}

This macro will create 475254 additional queries for each original search query, which in total will give 4 x 475254 = 1901016 search queries, an impressive figure, but this is not a problem for A-Parser.

Result output options

Output to csv

You can use Template-Toolkit template engine to output the result to csv, for example, we can write such columns to a csv file: Product link, Product name, Price, Old price, Rating, Number of comments

Result format:

[% FOREACH item IN products; 
 tools.CSVline(item.link, item.title, item.price, item.old_price, item.rating, item.reviews_count ); 
END %]
