Mercado-Amazon Extension - Scrapper

This repo holds the scrapper and the extension that acts like a client for a flask app.

- mercado-amazon <--- Chrome Extension (built with React)
- scraper <--- Flask app that do all the scrapping

Setup

It's a simple flask app that holds only one endpoint and do all the scrapping.

You'll to install some python libs, and I highly recommend you to use virtual envs.

First move to the scraper/ folder, once you're there, you can install the dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

then to run it:

export FLASK_ENV=development
flask run

and you'll have a web server on your localhost:5000, any route other than /api/search will return:

{
  "results": "not found",
  "status_code": 404
}

To run the test:

python tests/test_api.py

It's a chrome extension created with CRA.

The setup it's really simple, just place yourself on mercado-amazon/ folder, then install all the dependencies:

yarn install

then you can running on your localhost with:

npm start

Or you can build the app and dropp the build/ folder in chrome://extensions and you can start using it

For local development you'll need to have both apps running.
