🚀 Backmarket Scraper

Scrape structured data from Backmarket product listings, either via direct product search or by inputting specific product URLs. Perfect for extracting pricing, model, and condition data across multiple countries.

---

🧠 What It Does

This scraper lets you extract product listings from Backmarket using one of two modes:

• A list of search keywords for a specific country (e.g., "iPhone 14" on the Irish Backmarket).
• A list of product/search URLs to scrape directly.

You can define how many results per search you'd like and use a proxy configuration for smoother and safer scraping.
