Use cases

## Rainbow Resource Center data scraping use cases

Real-time Rainbow Resource Center intelligence for your business.



#### Range mapping

Category tree

Product category

Title



 Scrape the category tree with titles to map how Rainbow Resource Center's range spans curriculum, readers, workbooks, games and teaching aids. The tree is organised by subject and grade level, which makes it a usable map of the homeschool curriculum market.





#### Spec and material research

Description

Title

Product category



 Scrape descriptions to compare grade levels, subjects, formats, publishers and edition details across titles. Pulled across a whole category it builds the comparison table buyers otherwise assemble by hand, and it gives product teams a factual base for teardown work.





#### Variant analysis

Variant ID

Item ID

Title



 Scrape variant IDs against item IDs to count the editions, formats and set combinations each title is offered in. Variant spread is a dependable signal of which lines the business is investing in and which are quiet tests. Counted over several months it also shows where options are quietly being dropped.





#### New product monitoring

Item ID

URL

Category tree



 Diff item IDs and URLs on a schedule to catch new products as they list and older ones as they retire. Curriculum ranges change with edition cycles and school years, so additions track publishing rather than fashion.
