# E-commerce Scraper

Turn store pages and marketplace searches into structured product data from one MCP connection. No scraper to host and no marketplace developer accounts.

## Installation

Install with `pnpm dlx skills add Humanleap/agent-skills --skill ecommerce-scraper`. Connect the client's remote MCP server to `https://api.toolrouter.com/mcp` (Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector; Claude Code: `claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp`). Setup: https://toolrouter.com/docs/markdown/quickstart.

## Hard Rules

1. **One URL, one product.** `scrape_product` takes a direct product page, not a category or search page. Use `web-scraper` for anything else.
2. **Use the exact operation.** Pick the `tool` and `skill` below, or call `discover`. Never invent an input field.
3. **Prices are a snapshot.** Report the currency and when you pulled it. Marketplace prices come from indexed listing text and can be stale; open the listing before relying on a price.
4. **Respect site terms.** Marketplace search uses search-engine indexes, not logins. Do not try to bypass sign-in walls.

## Authentication and Cost

The server provisions an anonymous account on first use. Paid calls need credits: if `use_tool` returns a claim link, give it to the user so they can sign in and add credits. `discover` shows the live price for each operation; `listing_details` and `source_coverage` are free.

## Core Workflow

1. **Search the market.** `marketplace-search/search_listings` with the item, region and condition.
2. **Inspect listings.** `marketplace-search/listing_details` on the URLs worth a closer look (free).
3. **Scrape the stores.** `product-scraper/scrape_product` on competitor product pages for price, variants, specs and images.
4. **Read the rest of the site.** `web-scraper/scrape_page` for pricing pages, shipping and returns policies or category pages.
5. **Summarise.** Table of source, title, price, currency, condition and URL, with the low, median and high price.

## Essential Operations

| Job | `tool` | `skill` | Input |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full product details from a store page | `product-scraper` | `scrape_product` | `{"url":"https://store.example.com/products/item","include_images":false}` |
| Search marketplaces for an item | `marketplace-search` | `search_listings` | `{"query":"sony wh-1000xm5","regions":["UK"],"condition":"used","limit":10}` |
| One marketplace only | `marketplace-search` | `search_listings` | `{"query":"herman miller aeron","source":"ebay","country":"gb"}` |
| Preview one listing | `marketplace-search` | `listing_details` | `{"url":"<listing url>"}` |
| Compact price snapshot to track over time | `marketplace-search` | `watchlist_snapshot` | `{"query":"steam deck oled","regions":["UK"]}` |
| Which marketplaces cover a region | `marketplace-search` | `source_coverage` | `{"regions":["EU"]}` |
| Any other page as markdown | `web-scraper` | `scrape_page` | `{"url":"https://example.com/pricing"}` |

Call these through `use_tool` with `tool`, `skill` and `input`. Sources: `shopping_index`, `ebay`, `facebook_marketplace`, `craigslist`, `gumtree`, `trademe`, `mercadolibre`, `olx`, `rakuten`, `vinted`, `carousell`.

## Common Patterns

- **Competitor price check:** scrape the same product on 3 to 5 competitor stores and line up price, variants and stock.
- **Resale value:** `search_listings` with `condition:"used"` across eBay, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace; quote the price range, not one listing.
- **Sourcing:** search by model number across regions, then open the cheapest listings with `listing_details`.
- **Monitoring:** run `watchlist_snapshot` on a schedule and diff against the last snapshot the user saved; the tool does not store state.
- **Ad + product research:** pair with `ad-library-scraper` to see which products a competitor advertises, then scrape those product pages.

## Gotchas

- Shopify stores are detected automatically. Other stores use AI extraction, so check odd fields against the page.
- `scrape_product` saves images to the user's file space by default; set `include_images:false` when only data is needed.
- Marketplace coverage depends on the search index for that market. Run `source_coverage` before promising a country.
- Results can include search or category pages and other regions. Keep rows whose `source_region` matches the user's market and whose snippet names the exact item.
- Listing prices may be missing or in local currency; never convert currencies without saying so.

## Quick Reference

**Connect → search listings → inspect → scrape product pages → price table with sources and dates.**
