# Car Help
|
|
|
|
Used car search tool for finding Jude a reliable hybrid (HEV) in the Woodinville, WA area. Budget: $8-10K.
|
|
|
|
## Two Modes
|
|
|
|
### Headless (fast, no interaction)
|
|
|
|
Runs Chromium headless. Good for sites that don't need login. Skips Facebook Marketplace.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv sync
|
|
uv run playwright install chromium
|
|
uv run python search.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Headed via noVNC (interactive, for logins/CAPTCHAs)
|
|
|
|
Runs Chromium inside Docker with a virtual display. Open the browser view in any web browser when you need to interact (login, solve CAPTCHAs, apply filters manually).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build once
|
|
docker build -t car-help .
|
|
|
|
# Run (browser visible at http://localhost:6080/vnc.html)
|
|
docker run -d --name car-help -p 6080:6080 -v $(pwd)/results:/app/results car-help
|
|
|
|
# Run a search (headed -- includes Facebook Marketplace)
|
|
docker exec -it car-help uv run python search.py
|
|
|
|
# View the browser live
|
|
open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html
|
|
|
|
# Stop
|
|
docker stop car-help && docker rm car-help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Results are saved to `results/search_<timestamp>.json`.
|
|
|
|
## Sites
