# E-commerce — Product Listing

> Category/search URL or keyword + filters → paginated product list (URL, name, price, image, rating per item)

## Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

## Objective

Extract a structured list of products from any e-commerce category, search results, or keyword search page, with support for price/brand/rating filters and multi-page pagination.

## Prerequisites

- Target browser is open and connected
- No login required for public listing pages

## Pre-execution Checks

### 1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke `browser-act` via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

## Capability Components

> This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the `scripts/` directory, invoked via `eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})"`. Use the bash tool for execution.

### DOM: Extract product list from current page

Navigate to the listing/search page first, then extract:

```bash
eval "$(python scripts/extract-listing.py --max-results 20)"
```

Parameters:
- `--max-results`: max items to return per page, default 20

Output example:
```json
{
  "count": 20,
  "items": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WNK39JN",
      "name": "Amazon Echo Pop",
      "price": 39.99,
      "currency": "USD",
      "image": "https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...jpg",
      "rating": 4.7,
      "review_count": 103789,
      "asin": "B09WNK39JN"
    }
  ]
}
```

### DOM: Get next page URL

After extracting a page, get the URL to navigate to for the next page:

```bash
eval "$(python scripts/extract-listing-next-page.py)"
```

Output example:
```json
{"next_url": "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=headphones&page=2", "has_next": true, "method": "amazon"}
```

When `has_next` is false, pagination is complete.

### Composite: Keyword search with filters → product list

**Step 1 — Build search URL with filters:**

Construct the URL based on target site and desired filters using the patterns below, then navigate:

**Amazon** (`amazon.com`):
```
https://www.amazon.com/s?k={keyword_urlencoded}&s={sort}&rh={filter_params}
```
- Sort (`s`): `price-asc-rank` | `price-desc-rank` | `review-rank` | `date-desc-rank` (omit for relevance)
- Price filter: append `p_36:{min_cents}-{max_cents}` to `rh` (dollars × 100, e.g. $50–$200 → `p_36:5000-20000`)
- Rating filter: append `avg_customer_review:four-and-above` | `three-and-above` | `two-and-above` to `rh`
- In-stock: append `p_n_availability:1248801011` to `rh`
- Multiple `rh` values: comma-separate (e.g. `rh=p_36:5000-20000,avg_customer_review:four-and-above`)

**eBay** (`ebay.com`):
```
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw={keyword_urlencoded}&_udlo={min_price}&_udhi={max_price}&_sop={sort_num}
```
- Sort: `12`=BestMatch | `15`=PriceLow | `16`=PriceHigh | `24`=NewlyListed

**Walmart** (`walmart.com`):
```
https://www.walmart.com/search?q={keyword_urlencoded}&min_price={min}&max_price={max}&sort={sort}
```
- Sort: `best_match` | `price_low` | `price_high` | `rating_high`

**Google Shopping** (cross-site, no `--site`):
```
https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&q={keyword_urlencoded}&tbs=p_ord:{sort}
```
- Sort: `rv`=relevance | `pd`=price ascending | `prd`=price descending

**Any site with `--site`** (generic):
```
https://{site}/search?q={keyword_urlencoded}
```

**Step 2 — Navigate and extract:**
1. `navigate {constructed_url}` → `wait stable`
2. `eval "$(python scripts/extract-listing.py --max-results {n})"`

**Step 3 — Paginate (repeat until done):**
1. `eval "$(python scripts/extract-listing-next-page.py)"`
2. If `has_next` is true: `navigate {next_url}` → `wait stable` → re-run extract-listing.py
3. If `has_next` is false: stop

## Pagination

**URL Pagination**: `extract-listing-next-page.py` detects `rel=next` link, platform-specific pagination controls, and URL page parameters. Returns `next_url` for navigation.

**DOM Pagination**: For sites with load-more buttons (some Shopify themes):
1. `state` to find "Load more" or "Show more" button
2. `click <index>` → `wait stable` → re-run `extract-listing.py`
3. Termination: button no longer present, or item count stops increasing

## Success Criteria

`result.count >= 1 AND items[0].url != null`

## Known Limitations

- Amazon: direct navigation may trigger bot detection on fresh sessions — navigate from `https://www.amazon.com` first
- eBay listing pages may require navigating from `https://www.ebay.com` first
- Google Shopping results have complex SPA structure and may have reduced accuracy; prefer direct site search when `--site` is specified
- Filter URL parameters are site-specific; unsupported filter parameters are silently ignored by some sites
- Shopify themes vary widely; if the generic DOM strategies miss items, check if the page has JSON-LD ItemList or Product array in page source

## Execution Efficiency

- **Batch orchestration**: Loop through pages serially within a single session; add 1–2 second intervals between page navigations
- **Test before batch execution**: Test with 1 page before running multi-page extraction
- **Error resumption**: Record page number; on failure, resume from the last successful page

## Experience Notes

**Before execution**: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions; adjust strategy order accordingly.

**After execution**: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line:
`{YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}`
