eBay listings also include item IDs and sometimes UPCs. I focus on parsing these fields from the HTML source using structured selectors.

If using the Amazon API, I retrieve ASINs, SKUs, and other product identifiers in structured format, which is easier than scraping HTML.

I store metadata alongside product information, as unique identifiers like SKUs are essential for tracking and organizing large datasets.

For eBay, monitoring specific sellers’ listings and collecting their item IDs helps track inventory and identify changes over time.

• On Amazon, I compare ASINs across different pages to spot duplicate listings or variations of the same product.

Organizing metadata by category, such as electronics or clothing, helps me manage and analyze large datasets across different product types.
