Bookworm is a web scraper that retrieves book prices from Amazon, Thryft and Kinokuniya based on ISBN-13. It takes a CSV/XLSX file as input and outputs a new CSV with the scraped prices.

git clone https://github.com/kevanwee/bookworm.git cd bookworm 

This project requires Selenium for web scraping. Install it using:

pip install selenium 

Run the script by executing:

python bookworm.py 

(Note: Performance may vary based on the number of threads set in bookworm.py)

1. Enter the input CSV file (must include an ISBN-13 column). (Note that the ISBN-13 numbers should be input like 978-0571295715 with the hyphen)
2. Enter the output CSV file name (where scraped data will be saved).
3. At this point of time, this currently supports:
   • Amazon
   • Thryft
   • Kinokuniya
   • Stay tuned for more updates and more supported websites!

(See testdata.csv/testdata2.xlsx for a sample of the format)
