Phone Repair Tech Builds Codex + Browser Agent Stack to Auto-Compare Parts Prices
ZealousidealGuide882 · reddit · 2026-09-11
A phone repair technician is automating his daily routine of price-checking screens, batteries, and charging ports on Amazon and eBay, then adding the best deals to a cart.
His stack runs headless on a local server: Codex parses product specs and generates parsing scripts, while moclaw handles multi-site navigation, dynamic rendering, and price extraction. He's asking the community for smoother agent/browser-automation alternatives and how to keep cart persistence without tripping anti-bot defenses every few days.
