Mtg Argentina Playwright

MTG Argentina — Playwright Full-Catalog Scraper

When to use

• User asks "what deals are at store X?" or "survey all stores"
• Comparing prices for a specific product across all Argentine retailers
• Looking for SLDs / bundles / commander collections / sealed
• Verifying stock + pricing for a planned purchase

CRITICAL — Walk ALL pages, not just page 1

Most stores paginate with 12 products per page. A category claiming "Secret Lairs" or "Booster Boxes" typically has 3-5 pages. Always check for pagination and walk every page.

Required tools

• mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__browser_navigate — load page
• mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__browser_evaluate — extract products via JS
• mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__browser_wait_for — handle Cloudflare delays
• mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__browser_close — cleanup

Standard scraping flow

1. Navigate to category page 1

browser_navigate(url=STORE_CATEGORY_URL)

2. Wait if needed

Phoenix Reborn has Cloudflare → wait 8 seconds:

browser_wait_for(time=8)

3. Extract products + detect pagination

() => {
  const products = [];
  document.querySelectorAll('li.product, .product, .item-product, .js-item-product').forEach(card => {
    const name = card.querySelector('.woocommerce-loop-product__title, h2, h3, .name, .js-item-name')?.textContent?.trim();
    const price = card.querySelector('.price, .woocommerce-Price-amount, .js-price-display, .item-price')?.textContent?.trim();
    const stock = card.classList.contains('outofstock') ? 'OOS' : 'in stock';
    if (name) products.push({ name, price, stock });
  });
  const pages = [...document.querySelectorAll('.page-numbers, .pagination a')]
    .map(a => a.textContent.trim())
    .filter(t => /^\d+$/.test(t));
  return { products, maxPage: pages.length ? Math.max(...pages.map(Number)) : 1 };
}

4. Walk pagination — URL pattern per store

5. Loop until last page

# Pseudocode
page = 1
all_products = []
while True:
    navigate(category_url + f"/page/{page}/")
    result = evaluate(scrape_js)
    if not result.products:
        break
    all_products.extend(result.products)
    if page >= result.maxPage:
        break
    page += 1

6. Close browser

browser_close()

Labatikueva (labatikuevastore.com)

• Need to scroll to load products (JS lazy-loading)
• Products: scroll 5-8 times before scraping

Price interpretation

Argentine prices use periods as thousand separators:

• $ 800.000,00 = 800,000 ARS
• $ 1.740.000,00 = 1,740,000 ARS

Always convert to USD using the CURRENT exchange rate (ask the user — never assume from memory). Argentine peso moves weekly.

Apply discount AFTER conversion:

• Cash: -10% (Rancho, Al Battle)
• Transfer: -5% (most stores)

Common pitfalls

• Don't trust page 1 only — most categories have 3-5 pages
• Don't skip pagination detection — walk every page
• Don't forget Cloudflare wait for Phoenix Reborn (5-8s)
• Don't ignore Tiendanube scroll for Labatikueva/Al Battle (lazy-loaded)
• Don't conflate ARS thousand-separator periods with decimal points
• Don't apply cash discount twice if site already shows discounted price
• Don't assume exchange rate — always confirm with the user

Output format

Always produce:

1. Total product count across all pages
2. Best deals ranked by % below market
3. Cross-store comparison for same product when available
4. TCG market verification for suspected deals via Scryfall/MTGStocks
