How It Works

• Web scraping with BeautifulSoup captures product data from Ivory category pages

• Google Gemini 2.0 Flash extracts manufacturer, part number, English description, and US RRP

• A second LLM pass verifies US RRP estimates with category-specific pricing guidelines

• Exchange rate fetched from public APIs for NIS/USD conversion

• Price ratio calculated as price_usd / us_rrp_usd
