How it works

This scraper is API-first and production-oriented:

1. Catalog endpoint discovery: Uses Namshi's internal /_svc/catalog/catalog/{encodedUri}?page=N endpoint.
2. JSON module parsing: Extracts product objects from API modules and avoids HTML/DOM selectors entirely.
3. Pagination via API metadata: Traverses pages using API pagination data.
4. Clean output logic: Deduplicates products and omits null/empty fields.
