  • How can I track price changes on Mercari Japan using Ruby?

    I use the Nokogiri gem in Ruby for scraping Mercari Japan’s product listings, focusing on price data and seller information.

    • Since Mercari uses AJAX for some dynamic content, I combine Nokogiri with Watir to handle content that loads after page interactions.

    • Setting up a scheduled scraper lets me track price drops on high-demand items, particularly in categories like electronics or fashion.

    • By capturing both the list price and sale price, I can analyze discount trends and identify seasonal sales patterns on Mercari.
