Android Application Scraping (Meesho)

Key Features

• Extracted product titles, prices, categories, and other relevant details from the Meesho app.
• Implemented a network traffic capture method using Charles and Appium to intercept data from the app.
• Data was organized into CSV and JSON formats for further analysis and integration into internal systems.

Technologies Used

Challenges

Scraping data from mobile applications involved simulating app environments and overcoming challenges with data encryption and mobile app traffic interception.

Solution

Used Android Studio and Genymotion for app emulation, and Charles and Appium for intercepting network traffic. A combination of Request and JSON libraries were used for extracting and storing data.

Results

The project successfully automated the extraction of product data, allowing the client to efficiently update their product catalog from the Meesho app.
