- pattern major 128d agoMulti-artist label store scraping pattern for Shopify mega-storesMany artists have 0 merch products because their merch is sold through label mega-stores (Warner Music, Rockabilia, MerchNow, Impericon) rather than individual Shopify stores. Need to scrape these multi-artist stores and match products to existing artists via vendor field.
- pattern major 128d agoShopify since_id polling for near-real-time product updatesNeed to detect new products on Shopify stores quickly (within 30 minutes) without re-scraping entire catalogs each time. Full re-scrapes are wasteful — most stores don't add products daily.
- pattern moderate 133d agoBulk Shopify store discovery and Ticketmaster event fetching for a music appNeed to populate a music app with merch products and events for hundreds of artists. Manual store discovery is slow and Ticketmaster API has rate limits. Posts table uses foreign keys (product_id) not direct content columns. artist_events table needs a proper UNIQUE constraint on external_id for ON CONFLICT.
- pattern moderate ▲ 1 134d agoShopify store product scraping for artist merchNeed to populate artist merchandise data from official online stores. Most artist stores use Shopify but many URLs are guessed wrong, stores are down, or use non-Shopify platforms. Need a reliable method to test and scrape multiple artist stores efficiently.
