Step 3: Task Management • Retrieve taskID from the robot. • Poll Browse.AI API every 2–5 seconds to check the task status or utilize webhooks.

Step 5: Display Results • Format the results in cards using Tailwind CSS. Each card includes: o Picture o Make o Model o Year o Trim o Color o Mileage o Price o Source o A button to view the car on the original website.
5. Key Components Frontend • Home Page: Search button and simple UI styled with Tailwind CSS. • Results Page: o A grid of cards displaying car details. o Tailwind CSS for responsive, modern design. Backend • API Routes: o /search (POST): Triggers robots and returns task IDs. o /results (GET): Polls task status and fetches results. • Utility Functions: o trigger_robot(robot_name): Makes API call to start the robot. o check_task_status(task_id): Polls Browse.AI for task status. o fetch_results(task_id): Retrieves and processes completed data.
6. API Integration • 1. Run a robot: o /POST: https://api.browse.ai/v2/robots/{robotId}/tasks o Headers: Include API Key as Bearer token. o Response: taskID = result.id o Docs: https://www.browse.ai/docs/api/v2#tag/tasks/operation/newRobotTask • 2.
