Usage Guide

Option 1: Scraping with URLs

To use the scraper with URLs, navigate to Bikroy.com and construct targeted searches using the platform's filters. Search by category (electronics, vehicles, property), apply location filters, set price ranges, and choose sorting options. Copy resulting URLs into the urls array.

Configure JSON input with appropriate retry limits and proxy settings. Set reasonable max_items_per_url values balancing speed with system stability. Enable ignore_url_failures to ensure problematic URLs don't stop entire jobs.

Best practices:

• Test URLs individually before batch processing
• Monitor for blocked requests or rate limiting
• Use delays between large extraction batches
• Keep backup lists of working URLs
• Verify URL parameters match Bikroy's current structure

Common troubleshooting:

• Adjust proxy settings if encountering access blocks

Step 2: Configure Sorting Strategy

• Date (newest first): Track new market entrants, fresh listings
• Date (oldest first): Identify stale inventory, slow-moving products
• Price (high to low): Analyze premium segment, luxury products
• Price (low to high): Research budget segment, entry-level pricing

Step 3: Set Pagination

Use page parameter for systematic coverage:

• Plan page ranges based on total available results
• Combine with max_items_per_url for controlled extraction

Best Practices for Filter-Based Scraping

Keyword Strategy:

• Use specific product terms for targeted results
• Try both English and Bangla keywords when applicable
• Include brand names for brand-specific research
• Use category terms for broader market analysis

Sorting for Different Objectives:

• Price monitoring: Use price sorting for competitive analysis
