Where do you get the list of guitars from?



They're obtained via the eBay API. A cronjob runs every few hours, filters them a bit, and outputs them in a structured format for the app.


Does the eBay API have info about the 6 or 7 strings, or you are adding that yourself? (Is that manual or automatic?)


It does, though that limits results. For bootstrapping the project that is fine, but I'll be investigating a more ML-based approach going forward.
