Why Automate Mulebuy Market Research?

Manual monitoring of Reddit discussions proves inefficient for several reasons:

  • Time-consuming data collection from multiple discussion threads
  • Subjective interpretation of price trends
  • Difficulty tracking historical price fluctuations

The solution? A custom spreadsheet script

Key Components of the Script

1. Reddit API Integration

The script connects to Reddit's API to pull data from designated Mulebuy discussion threads. Focusing on specific luxury items (like the Dior Book Tote or Chanel Classic Flap), it extracts:

  • Mention frequency of each product model
  • Price points discussed in USD
  • Condition descriptors (new, like-new, etc.)

2. Automated Data Processing

After collection, the script:

  1. Cleans data by removing outliers and duplicate mentions
  2. Calculates average price ranges
  3. Tracks period-over-period changes (+/- %)

3. Market Heat Index Visualization

The script generates dynamic charts

  • Weekly/monthly price trends
  • Demand spikes based on discussion volume
  • Price comparison against Mulebuy Yupoo suppliers
