The luxury resale market moves quickly, and staying ahead requires real-time data. For Mulebuy
The Power Automated Mulebuy Data Collection
By programming a script to scrape targeted Reddit forums, we can transform unstructured discussions into actionable intelligence. The process focuses on three key components:
- Keyword Targeting:
- Sentiment Analysis:
- Price Pattern Recognition:
function trackMulebuyTrends() { const subreddit = "RepladiesDesigner"; // Target forum const searchTerms = ["Dior Book Tote", "Chanel 19", "LV Coussin"]; // Core product list // API call setup and data processing here // ... }
Building the Market Heat Index Visualization
The script converts raw data into a normalized index (0-100 scale) accounting for:
- Mention frequency (daily posts/comments)
- Price fluctuation windows (±15% from last avg.)
- Demand verbs in context ("ISO", "WTB", "seeking")
This generates comparable metrics across different bag models regardless of absolute price differences.
