# ClickBank Product Scraper

Autonomous scraper for high-performing ClickBank products. Pulls product metadata (gravity, commission, sales estimates) from CBTrends.com and exports structured JSON for pipeline integration.

## Installation

```bash
npm install
```

**Dependencies:**
- `cheerio` — HTML parsing
- `node-fetch` — HTTP requests
- `node` ≥ v16

## Usage

### Basic Run
```bash
node scraper.js
```
Outputs to `output/latest.json`, `output/products-YYYY-MM-DD.json`

### With ClickBank Affiliate ID
```bash
CB_AFFILIATE_ID=your_nickname node scraper.js
```
Generates hoplinks with your affiliate ID embedded.

### Scheduled Runs
Use OpenClaw cron or n8n workflows to run daily:
```json
{
  "job": "clickbank-scraper",
  "schedule": "0 9 * * *",
  "command": "CB_AFFILIATE_ID=your_id node scraper.js"
}
```

## Output Format

### latest.json
Always-current snapshot for real-time pipeline feeds.

```json
{
  "category": "Health & Fitness",
  "updatedAt": "2026-03-27T14:00:00Z",
  "products": [
    {
      "name": "Product Name",
      "vendorId": "vendor123",
      "gravity": 87.5,
      "avgSaleAmount": "$47.00",
      "commissionPct": 75,
      "rebillPct": 30,
      "hoplink": "https://yourname.clickbank.net/...",
      "estimatedMonthlySales": "$12000"
    }
  ]
}
```

### products-YYYY-MM-DD.json
Full daily archive for historical analysis.

### top10-YYYY-MM-DD.json
Filtered to gravity > 50 for quick high-performers reference.

## Integration Use Cases

### 1. Pinterest Board Automation
Feed `latest.json` → n8n workflow → Auto-generate Pinterest pins for top 10 products

### 2. Product Comparison Content
Extract gravity + commission → Generate comparison tables for blog posts

### 3. Affiliate Performance Tracking
Monitor gravity trends over time → Pivot to rising winners

### 4. Landing Page Personalization
Cross-reference user interests → Recommend high-gravity products

## Data Fields Reference

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| name | string | Product name |
| vendorId | string | ClickBank vendor identifier |
| gravity | number | Affiliate gravity (higher = more demand, 0-100+) |
| avgSaleAmount | string | Average transaction value |
| commissionPct | number | Commission rate (0-100%) |
| rebillPct | number | Rebill/recurring commission % |
| hoplink | string | Ready-to-use affiliate link |
| estimatedMonthlySales | string | Rough sales estimate |

## Limitations

- Single page per category (10 products) from CBTrends
- Gravity data may lag 1-2 hours behind ClickBank live marketplace
- No API key required (scrapes public data)
- Categories limited to: Health & Fitness, Supplements, E-Business, Self-Help

## Roadmap

- [x] Health & Fitness category scraper
- [ ] Multi-category support (Supplements, Self-Help, E-Business, Investing)
- [ ] Pagination (pages 2-5 for 50+ products)
- [ ] ClickBank Marketplace API integration (when account active)
- [ ] Scheduled runs via cron
- [ ] Gravity trend tracking over time
- [ ] Email digest of top gainers/losers

## Integration with n8n

Example n8n workflow node:

```javascript
// n8n "Execute Command" node
const exec = require('child_process').execSync;
const result = exec('CB_AFFILIATE_ID=your_id node scraper.js', {
  cwd: '/path/to/clickbank-scraper'
});
return JSON.parse(result.toString());
```

## Integration with OpenClaw

Use as a cron job or sub-agent:

```bash
openclaw cron add clickbank-scraper \
  --schedule "0 9 * * *" \
  --command "cd path/to/scraper && node scraper.js"
```
