    Pinduoduo often uses AJAX to load price and product data, so Ruby’s Watir gem helps handle dynamic content effectively.

    • Nokogiri is great for parsing static HTML once the page is fully loaded, focusing on prices, product names, and seller information.

    • By scheduling scrapes, I capture daily price fluctuations, which is useful for tracking seasonal and promotional discounts.
