Get information
from item's URL
on Mercari

Hello there!

Today, we'd like to talk about a program that extracts product information and stock status from Mercari's product page URL.
By embedding this program into an existing inventory management sheet, it can help streamline the listing process. 

Automating manual inventory management can lead to a reduction in working hours and errors.

Here's how the program works: first, it retrieves Mercari's product page URL from the sheet.
Then, it scrapes necessary information such as the product name, price, and stock status from the page. 

This data is then embedded into the existing inventory management sheet.
If the stock quantity is zero, it will be converted to "Out of Stock" for easy visibility.

In addition, a CSV output function has been added to this program.
By outputting the required information for product registration as a CSV file, it can further increase the efficiency of the listing process.

By using this program, manual inventory management tasks that used to require visual checks and data entry can be greatly streamlined.
Eliminating manual errors can ensure accurate results, thus increasing the pace of the listing process.

Typically, developing such a program would cost around 15,000 to 20,000 yen(approx $110 - 160). 

However, the cost is worth the benefits that can be achieved through this program.
It is a far more efficient way of working than doing things manually on your own. 

By considering the implementation of such an automation tool, it can help reduce the burden of inventory management and listing tasks.

We hope you find this information helpful!
