Documentation
Every Daraz product search, plus a local price database, real-deal ranking, and drop alerts no Daraz scraper has.
daraz-pp-cli searches Daraz.pk listings, reads reviews, and extracts product detail like any scraper — then keeps it in a local SQLite store so it can do what one-shot scrapers cannot: track price history (price-history), rank genuine deals over fake discounts (deals, value), diff a saved search over time (since), and vet sellers (seller stats). Read-only, no login required.
Quick Start
# Health check — confirms daraz.pk is reachable; needs no credentials.
daraz-pp-cli doctor --dry-run
# Core search with a PKR price range, cheapest first.
daraz-pp-cli products --query "gaming laptop" --price 50000-150000 --sort priceasc
# Read recent reviews for a product by its item ID.
daraz-pp-cli reviews --item-id 599201597 --page-size 5
Unique Features
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Local price intelligence
-
price-history— See a product's recorded price trend and its lowest-ever price from your local store.Reach for this to judge whether a current price is actually low for that item, not just discounted on paper.
daraz-pp-cli price-history 599201597 --agent -
watch— Record current prices for every item matching a search into the local store so price history builds over time.Run periodically on a query you care about; then price-history shows the trend for any item it captured.
daraz-pp-cli watch "gaming laptop" -
since— Diff a saved search against its last local snapshot to show new listings and price moves since you last checked.Use to monitor a market over time instead of re-reading a full result list each run.
daraz-pp-cli since "gaming mouse" --agent
Smart ranking
-
deals— Rank a search by a composite of discount, rating, and units sold to surface genuinely good deals.Use when the goal is the best-value item for a query, not raw listing order.
daraz-pp-cli deals "laptop" --agent --select name,price,discountPct,rating -
value— Flag inflated original-price discounts by comparing each item's claimed original price to the local median for that query.Use to avoid misleading discounts; it is the inverse of deals.
daraz-pp-cli value "power bank" --agent -
compare— Find the same item across sellers and show the cheapest and best-rated side by side.Use to pick the best seller/listing for an item before buying.
daraz-pp-cli compare "airpods pro" --agent
Seller trust
-
seller stats— Aggregate a seller's catalog from the local store: average rating, price range, listing count, discount pattern.Use to vet a seller's track record before trusting a listing.
daraz-pp-cli seller stats 1066739 --agent
Recipes
Agent-friendly search with field selection
daraz-pp-cli deals "wireless earbuds" --agent --select name,price,discountPct,rating,url
deals returns a flat, ranked array of listings, so --select trims each row to just the fields an agent needs and keeps payloads small.
Find the best-value items, not the biggest fake discount
daraz-pp-cli deals "power bank" --agent --select name,price,discountPct,rating
Ranks by a discount-times-rating-times-sales composite computed locally.
Start tracking a product's price
daraz-pp-cli watch 599201597
Records the current price so price-history builds a real trend over time.
See what changed in a market since last check
daraz-pp-cli since "gaming mouse" --agent
Diffs the current search against the last local snapshot for new listings and price moves.

Health Check
daraz-pp-cli doctor
Verifies configuration and connectivity to the API.
Configuration
Config file: ~/.config/daraz-pp-cli/config.toml
Static request headers can be configured under headers; per-command header overrides take precedence.
Troubleshooting
Not found errors (exit code 3)
- Check the resource ID is correct
- Run the
listcommand to see available items
API-specific
- Empty results for a query that has products on the site — Drop filters and retry: daraz-pp-cli products --query "" — then re-add --price.
- price-history or since shows nothing — Populate the local store first: daraz-pp-cli watch (for price-history) or run the same search once before since.
- reviews returns nothing — Confirm the numeric item ID from a product URL (the digits after -i in .../products/...-i.html).
