🚗 Auto Market Tracker & AI Cleaner

An automated tool built with Python that scrapes automotive listings from Mercado Libre (Argentina) and leverages Anthropic's Claude to clean, structure, and standardize the raw data into a clean JSON format.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python
• Playwright (Web Scraping & Browser Automation)
• Anthropic API (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) (Data Extraction & Natural Language Processing)
• JSON (Data Modeling)

⚙️ How It Works

1. Web Scraping (scraper.py):
   • Uses Playwright with custom browser headers, locales, and human-like delays (slow_mo) to securely navigate and extract raw listing cards from Mercado Libre Argentina.
2. AI-Powered Data Processing (procesador.py):
   • Sends the raw text data to Claude.
   • Claude acts as an automotive market analyst, parsing unstructured strings into a strictly typed, uniform JSON array.
   • Automatically handles currency normalization (estimating conversions to USD when necessary), flags misleading pricing/down-payments (alerta_anticipo), and extracts clean model names, years, mileage, and links.
