ETL Bot

ETL Bot automates the full Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) pipeline for Shopify data at scale. Using multi-threaded Python scripts, it crawls and caches thousands of product records and associated media efficiently. Extracted data is then processed, transformed, and stored in a MongoDB database for easy access and analysis. A companion Vue/NuxtJS Admin Dashboard enables users to edit product details, reorder images, download media archives, and export datasets to Excel — turning complex data management into a smooth, visual workflow.
