Fetch DBA search results (requests or Selenium)
Fetch PriceRunner search results by extracting embedded JSON from the results page
Filter results by minimum and maximum price
Compare results in three output formats: plain text table, Markdown, or an ASCII grid

Quick start

Prerequisites

Install dependencies (recommended in a virtualenv):

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the script (basic example):

python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "playstation 5" --pricerunner --compare --format markdown --top 8

Common options

--pricerunner : fetch PriceRunner results as well
--compare : show a side-by-side comparison (requires --pricerunner)
--format : text (default), markdown, or grid
--top N : when used without --compare, prints top N DBA results; when used with --compare it controls number of rows in the comparison
--min-price / --max-price : numeric filters to exclude accessories or outliers

Examples

Compare PlayStation 5 results and print a Markdown table: python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "playstation 5" --pricerunner --compare --format markdown --top 10
Compare Google Pixel results and exclude accessories under 3000 DKK: python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "google pixel 8" --pricerunner --compare --format grid --min-price 3000 --max-price 12000

Notes

PriceRunner pages are parsed by extracting an embedded JSON blob. This works at time of writing but may break if the site changes.
For very reliable scraping of JS-heavy pages, consider installing Playwright or using the Selenium renderer (the script already contains a Selenium path).
