Simulate Mercari API interaction by scraping web pages

Mercari Client

This simple library simulates interactions with an open API for Mercari, which doesn't exist. It does so by scraping web pages using mercari-parser.

Setup

npm install git+https://github.com/louistio/mercari-client.git --save

Usage

You can retrieve info for an item with its id. The id is located after item/ in the url, for example in the url https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m000000/, the item id is m000000.

import { MercariClient } from 'mercari-client';

const client = new MercariClient();

const item = await client.getItem('m000000');

Resulting item will look like:

{
  "version": "2",
  "id": "...",
  "title": "...",
  "description": "...",
  "price": "...",
  "shipping": "...",
  "date": "...",
  "imageUrl": "https://(...).jpg",
  "seller": {
    "userId": "...",
    "username": "...",
    "profile": "https://(...)/"
  }
}
