How it works

From game names to inventory

Four automated steps turn a raw list of game titles into structured, priced data ready for sourcing decisions.

1

Paste game names

Set a minimum popularity threshold, then list one game name per line.

2

Popularity filter

SteamCharts is scraped in parallel batches of 50 to get the 24-hour player peak. Games below the threshold are dropped.

3

Price research

Puppeteer with anti-bot bypass navigates Gamivo and AllKeyShop to find the best available price per game.

4

Stored in inventory

Results are pushed to Sistema Estoque via a secure REST API, ready for the team to review and act on.

Architecture

Part of a larger ecosystem

Price Researcher runs two independent flows. Both integrate with Sistema Estoque through the same authenticated REST contract.
