3. Tech Stack • Backend: Python (Flask or FastAPI for API integration). • Frontend: Tailwind CSS for styling. • API Integration: Browse.AI for scraping and data retrieval o Documentation: https://www.browse.ai/docs/api/v2 o OpenAPI : https://api.browse.ai/v2/openapi • Deployment: Vercel, Vultr, or Digital Ocean.
4. User Flow Step 1: Initial Interface • A simple page with a search button and optional instructions. Step 2: Trigger Robot • User clicks "Search." • Backend triggers Browse.AI robots for. For simplicity, these robots will be pre-configured to a specific make, model, year, trim, and color, and each robot ID will be provided. o Carvana o Cars.com o AutoTrader o TrueCar o CarMax o Driveway • Browse.AI API key will be provided upon project approval. 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 4: Fetch Results • Once a task is completed, retrieve results via Browse.AI API. • Aggregate and normalize data from all sources. 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. Determine task status: o 2a. Poll the task status: ▪ /GET: https://api.browse.ai/v2/robots/{robotId}/tasks/{taskId} ▪ Headers: Include API Key. ▪ Response: Task completion status. ▪ Docs: https://www.browse.ai/docs/api/v2#tag/tasks/operation/getRobotTask o 2b.

8. Challenges & Solutions • Asynchronous Task Polling: Use Python's asyncio or Celery for efficient polling. • Data Normalization: Map diverse data structures from multiple robots to a unified format. • UI Consistency: Leverage Tailwind CSS utility classes for rapid and consistent styling.
9. Development Plan Phase 1: Setup • Create project structure (backend, frontend). • Configure Tailwind CSS and Browse.AI API. Phase 2: Backend • Build endpoints for triggering robots and fetching results. • Implement task polling logic or utilize webhooks. Phase 3: Frontend • Design the search page and results page. • Integrate Tailwind CSS components. Phase 4: Integration • Connect frontend to backend. • Test end-to-end functionality. Phase 5: Deployment • Deploy app to a shared GitHub repo. • Test on various devices for responsiveness.
