How to track product variations like size or color on e-commerce platforms?
For sites like Amazon, I capture product variations by scraping dropdown menus or variant selection fields to pull options for size, color, etc.

eBay’s HTML structure often includes variation data directly on the product page, which I access using CSS selectors to capture all options.

Storing each variation with a unique identifier, like SKU or ASIN, helps keep data organized and allows me to track specific variants over time.
-
I set up a loop to cycle through each variation and record details like price or availability, which often differ by variant.

Using an API, if available, simplifies tracking variations, as many APIs return structured data for different product options.

For Shopify stores, I often find variant data in JSON responses, making it easy to extract details for size, color, and other attributes.
