Usage

This document expands on how to run dba_pricerunner_scraper.py.

Basic invocation

python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "search terms" --pricerunner --compare --format grid --top 8

Options

• --engine: requests (default) or selenium.
• --pricerunner: fetch PriceRunner results.
• --compare: show side-by-side comparison.
• --format: text | markdown | grid.
• --min-price / --max-price: filter by price.

Examples

• Top 5 DBA results only:

python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "playstation 5" --top 5

• Compare results and save markdown output:

python3 dba_pricerunner_scraper.py "playstation 5" --pricerunner --compare --format markdown --top 10 > results.md

Notes on Selenium

If you pick --engine selenium, install a compatible browser (Chrome) and ensure chromedriver is available. webdriver-manager can install the driver automatically but still requires a Chrome binary.
