📋 What the Chewy Scraper does

• 🔍 Keyword search. Pass any pet-product keyword (e.g. dog food kibble, cat litter, aquarium filter).
• 💰 Price data. Regular price plus Autoship subscription price.
• ⭐ Ratings and reviews. Average rating and review count.
• 🏷️ Brand info. Brand name as exposed on the listing.
• 📦 Availability. In-stock / out-of-stock flag.
• 🖼️ Images. Primary product image URL.

The scraper walks Chewy search results, fetches each product card, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: Chewy is the largest US pet retailer with over $11B in annual revenue. Its UI is paginated and JS-rendered with no bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for brand intelligence, price monitoring, and market analysis.
