Artur Chukhrai for SerpApi

Posted on • Originally published at serpapi.com

Dropshipping Research Tool Demo in Python

Intro

This blog post is created to show you how SerpApi was integrated into this small app with an explanation of how the app functionates and SerpApi's role in it.

The main idea comes from a tool called Zik Analytics, which used by dropshippers.

This demo shows a comparison between Walmart and eBay products to determine profit. The user selects a product and a place of sale, and the program finds the same product in another place and calculates the profit.

Code Explanation

First, let's look at how the algorithm works. The items in this algorithm are functions that will be described in the respective headings:

algorithm

Import libraries:

from serpapi import EbaySearch, WalmartSearch
import streamlit as st
import streamlit.components.v1 as components
import pandas as pd
import time, os, Levenshtein
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Library Purpose
serpapi SerpApi's Python API wrapper that parses data from 15+ search engines.
streamlit to create beautiful web apps.
streamlit.components.v1 to find complex or just not available components by default on streamlit.
pandas to convert data to file format.
time to work with time in Python.
os to read secret environment variable. In this case it's SerpApi API key.
Levenshtein to quickly calculate string similarity.

After a bunch of imports, we define a main function where everything happens. At the beginning of this function, the title and description of the application were added:

def main():
    st.title('💸Product Comparison')
    st.markdown(body='This demo compares products from Walmart and eBay to find a profit. SerpApi Demo Project ([repository](https://github.com/chukhraiartur/dropshipping-tool-demo)). Made with [Streamlit](https://streamlit.io/) and [SerpApi](http://serpapi.com/) 🧡')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next is to define streamlit session state. I've used this to hide or unhide certain widgets:

if 'visibility' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.visibility = 'visible'
    st.session_state.disabled = False
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After that, I defined an input field, two sliders and two select boxes:

SEARCH_QUERY: str = st.text_input(
    label='Search query',
    placeholder='Search',
    help='Multiple search queries is not supported.'
)
WHERE_TO_SELL = st.selectbox(
    label='Where to sell',
    options=('Walmart', 'eBay'),
    help='Select the platform where you want to sell products. The program will look for the same products on another site and calculate the profit.'
)
NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS: int = st.slider(
    label='Number of products to search',
    min_value=1,
    max_value=20,
    value=10,
    help='Limit the number of products to analyze.'
)
PERCENTAGE_OF_UNIQUENESS: int = st.slider(
    label='Percentage of uniqueness',
    min_value=1,
    max_value=100,
    value=50,
    help='The percentage of uniqueness is used to compare how similar one title is to another. The higher this parameter, the more accurate the result.'
)
SAVE_OPTION = st.selectbox(
    label='Choose file format to save',
    options=(None, 'JSON', 'CSV'),
    help='By default data won\'t be saved. Choose JSON or CSV format if you want to save the results.'
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here I was creating a centered button:

col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 = st.columns(5)

with col3:
    submit_button_holder = st.empty()
    submit_search = submit_button_holder.button(label='Compare products')

if submit_search and not SEARCH_QUERY:
    st.error(body='Looks like you click a button without a search query. Please enter a search query 👆')
    st.stop()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • submit_button_holder is used to hide or unhide widget.
  • st.stop is used to stop the script if user didn't provide any search query.

If the user enters a search query, a place to sell and clicks the "Compare Products" button, then the function for comparing products is launched. Depending on the place to sale, different functions are triggered, but they are similar:

if submit_search and SEARCH_QUERY and WHERE_TO_SELL:
    with st.spinner(text='Parsing Product Data...'):
        comparison_results = []

        if WHERE_TO_SELL == 'Walmart':
            comparison_results = compare_walmart_with_ebay(SEARCH_QUERY, NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS, PERCENTAGE_OF_UNIQUENESS/100)
        elif WHERE_TO_SELL == 'eBay':
            comparison_results = compare_ebay_with_walmart(SEARCH_QUERY, NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS, PERCENTAGE_OF_UNIQUENESS/100)

    parsing_is_success = st.success('Done parsing 🎉')
    time.sleep(1)
    parsing_is_success.empty()
    submit_button_holder.empty()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If matches were found, then the results must be shown. The standard streamlit table is not suitable for my purposes, so I am creating a custom table:

comparison_results_header = st.markdown(body='#### Comparison results')

if comparison_results:
    table = create_table(comparison_results, WHERE_TO_SELL)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To display the table, I used the components.html() method. In addition to the passed table, this method accepts the height of the rendered content. The table height value depends on the number of matches found multiplied by the height of each table row len(comparison_results)*62 plus the table header height value 40. Thus, the entire table is successfully displayed:

components.html(table, height=len(comparison_results)*62 + 40)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After the data has been displayed, the "Compare Products" button changes to the "Start over" button:

with col3:
    start_over_button_holder = st.empty()
    start_over_button = st.button(label='Start over')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then I check the save option and comparison results for their presence:

if SAVE_OPTION and comparison_results:
    with st.spinner(text=f'Saving data to {SAVE_OPTION}...'):
        if SAVE_OPTION == 'JSON':
            save_to_json(comparison_results)
        elif SAVE_OPTION == 'CSV':
            save_to_csv(comparison_results)

    saving_is_success = st.success('Done saving 🎉')

    time.sleep(1)
    saving_is_success.empty()
    submit_button_holder.empty()

    start_over_info_holder = st.empty()
    start_over_info_holder.error(body='To rerun the script, click on the "Start over" button, or refresh the page.')

    if start_over_button:
        comparison_results_header.empty()
        start_over_button_holder.empty()
        start_over_info_holder.empty()

if SAVE_OPTION and not comparison_results:
    comparison_results_header.empty()

    no_data_holder = st.empty()
    no_data_holder.error(body='No product found. Click "Start Over" button and try different search query.')

    if start_over_button:
        no_data_holder.empty()
        start_over_button_holder.empty()

if SAVE_OPTION is None and comparison_results:
    start_over_info_holder = st.empty()
    start_over_info_holder.error(body='To rerun the script, click on the "Start over" button, or refresh the page.')

    if start_over_button:
        comparison_results_header.empty()
        start_over_button_holder.empty()
        start_over_info_holder.empty()

if SAVE_OPTION is None and not comparison_results:
    comparison_results_header.empty()

    no_data_holder = st.empty()
    no_data_holder.error(body='No product found. Click "Start Over" button and try different search query.')

    if start_over_button:
        comparison_results_header.empty()
        no_data_holder.empty()
        start_over_button_holder.empty()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You may have noticed that in each of the checks there is an additional check for the "Start Over" button. This is necessary to remove unnecessary information for a new comparison.

In the end I've added a if __name__ == '__main__' idiom which protects users from accidentally invoking the script when they didn't intend to, and call the main function which will run the whole script:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Get results from sites

In this application, data is retrieved from Walmart and eBay. I will analyze how the function for extracting data from Walmart works. The function for extracting data from eBay works in a similar way.

The parameters are defined for generating the URL:

def get_walmart_results(query: str):
    params = {
        'api_key': os.getenv('SERPAPI_API_KEY'),    # https://serpapi.com/manage-api-key
        'engine': 'walmart',                        # search engine
        'query': query,                             # search query
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Parameters Explanation
api_key Parameter defines the SerpApi private key to use. You can find it under your account -> API key
engine Set parameter to walmart to use the Walmart API engine.
query Parameter defines the search query. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Walmart search.

Then, we create a search object where the data is retrieved from the SerpApi backend. In the results dictionary we get data from JSON:

search = WalmartSearch(params)      # data extraction on the SerpApi backend
results = search.get_dict()         # JSON -> Python dict
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

At the end of the function, you need to return information about the products. If no such products were found, then an empty list is returned:

return results.get('organic_results', [])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Compare products

If the user has chosen Walmart as a place to sell, then the function of comparing Walmart with eBay is launched. Also works in reverse.

At the beginning of the function, a list is declared to which data will be added:

def compare_walmart_with_ebay(query: str, number_of_products: int, percentage_of_uniqueness: float):
    data = []
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For a search query, we get results from Walmart. After that, for each product name from Walmart, we get results from eBay:

walmart_results = get_walmart_results(query)

for walmart_result in walmart_results[:number_of_products]:
    ebay_results = get_ebay_results(walmart_result['title'])
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Every item from Walmart is compared to every match found on eBay. Comparison of goods is implemented through the title. To get how much one string is similar to another string, I used the Levenshtein.ratio() method. If the percentage of text matching in titles is less than the percentage of uniqueness, then go to the next product:

for ebay_result in ebay_results:
    if Levenshtein.ratio(walmart_result['title'], ebay_result['title']) < percentage_of_uniqueness:
        continue
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If a match is found, the Walmart and eBay price of that item is retrieved. Then profit is calculated:

walmart_price = walmart_result.get('primary_offer', {}).get('offer_price')
ebay_price = ebay_result.get('price', {}).get('extracted')

if not ebay_price:
    ebay_price = ebay_result.get('price', {}).get('from', {}).get('extracted')

profit = 0

if walmart_price and ebay_price:
    profit = round(walmart_price - ebay_price, 2)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The data about the found match is added to the list:

data.append({
    'Walmart': {
        'thumbnail': walmart_result['thumbnail'],
        'title': walmart_result['title'],
        'link': walmart_result['product_page_url'],
        'price': walmart_price
    },
    'eBay': {
        'thumbnail': ebay_result['thumbnail'],
        'title': ebay_result['title'],
        'link': ebay_result['link'],
        'price': ebay_price
    },
    'Profit': profit
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

At the end of the function, a list of all matches is returned:

return data
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create custom table

This function generates a table based on the passed data.

At the beginning of the function, the style sheet for the table is included:

def create_table(data: list, where_to_sell: str):
    with open('table_style.css') as file:
        style = file.read()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next, each row of the table is formed. The first column will contain data about the place of sale selected by the user. Also, the color of the text in the profit will change depending on the value:

products = ''

for product in data:
    profit_color = 'lime' if product['Profit'] >= 0 else 'red'

    if where_to_sell == 'Walmart':
        products += f'''
        <tr>
            <td><div><img src="{product['Walmart']['thumbnail']}" width="50"></div></td>
            <td><div><a href="{product['Walmart']['link']}" target="_blank">{product['Walmart']['title']}</div></td>
            <td><div>{str(product['Walmart']['price'])}$</div></td>
            <td><div><img src="{product['eBay']['thumbnail']}" width="50"></div></td>
            <td><div><a href="{product['eBay']['link']}" target="_blank">{product['eBay']['title']}</div></td>
            <td><div>{str(product['eBay']['price'])}$</div></td>
            <td><div style="color:{profit_color}">{str(product['Profit'])}$</div></td>
        </tr>
        '''
    elif where_to_sell == 'eBay':
        products += f'''
        <tr>
            <td><div><img src="{product['eBay']['thumbnail']}" width="50"></div></td>
            <td><div><a href="{product['eBay']['link']}" target="_blank">{product['eBay']['title']}</div></td>
            <td><div>{str(product['eBay']['price'])}$</div></td>
            <td><div><img src="{product['Walmart']['thumbnail']}" width="50"></div></td>
            <td><div><a href="{product['Walmart']['link']}" target="_blank">{product['Walmart']['title']}</div></td>
            <td><div>{str(product['Walmart']['price'])}$</div></td>
            <td><div style="color:{profit_color}">{str(product['Profit'])}$</div></td>
        </tr>
        '''
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now the table structure is formed, after which it is returned by this function:

table = f'''
<style>
    {style}
</style>
<table border="1">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th colspan="3"><div>{list(data[0].keys())[0]}</div></th>
            <th colspan="3"><div>{list(data[0].keys())[1]}</div></th>
            <th><div>{list(data[0].keys())[2]}</div></th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>{products}</tbody>
</table>
'''

return table
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Save results to file

This function converts a list of matches into data corresponding to a JSON or CSV format.

To convert data to JSON format, you need to create a DataFrame object based on the passed data, and then call the to_json() method. The st.download_button() method is used to create a download button:

def save_to_json(data: list):
    json_file = pd.DataFrame(data=data).to_json(index=False, orient='table')

    st.download_button(
        label='Download JSON',
        file_name='comparison-results.json',
        mime='application/json',
        data=json_file,
    )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The process of converting data to CSV format is different in that you need to use the to_csv() method.

def save_to_csv(data: list):
    csv_file = pd.DataFrame(data=data).to_csv(index=False)

    st.download_button(
        label="Download CSV",
        file_name='comparison-results.csv',
        mime='text/csv',
        data=csv_file
    )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Can we also find suppliers with that program? Because niche research is not an issue for me. But finding best clothing suppliers for dropshipping is difficult part. And all suppliers scam people.

At the moment there is no such possibility. But you got me interested. If it's not difficult for you, you can make an issue and I'll get to work soon.
