How do I handle bot detection with this skill?

It provides instructions for implementing Playwright with residential proxy chains and stealth headers to bypass headless browser blocks.

Where do I update the dealer URLs?

Dealer URLs should be updated in the providers.json file on the api branch, which both pollers sync automatically.

What primary problem does this skill solve?

It diagnoses and fixes 'price-not-found' or incorrect price warnings for retail precious metal vendors in the StakTrakr scraping pipeline.

Can I test a single vendor without a full run?

Yes, the skill provides a DRY_RUN command to test specific providers and coins directly from the terminal.

Which scraping technologies are supported?

This skill focuses on self-hosted Firecrawl instances and Playwright fallback paths used for JS-rendered content.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Diagnoses and resolves web scraping failures for precious metal retail vendors using Firecrawl and Playwright diagnostics.

The Retail Provider Fix skill is a specialized diagnostic utility designed to maintain the data integrity of the StakTrakr retail price pipeline. It provides a structured workflow for identifying why specific dealer scrapers are failing—whether due to site structure changes, bot detection, or JavaScript rendering issues. By guiding developers through live Firecrawl diagnostics in Fly.io containers and providing precise regex configuration patterns for price-extract.js, this skill ensures that real-time precious metals pricing remains accurate and resilient against evolving e-commerce website layouts.
