Show HN: I scraped knife trading subreddits with GPT to build a cool table

1 pointsby ICodeSometimesalmost 2 years ago
Hey everyone!<p>I&#x27;m Yahia and i built a free website for pocket knife enthusiasts called knifegeek.io earlier this year, when i launched it on HN it hit the front page which was an awesome experience.<p>Since then i&#x27;ve continued working on the site in my free time and just added something i think is quite cool<p>Every 15 min, it grabs the latest posts to r&#x2F;Knife_Swap, r&#x2F;EDCExchange, r&#x2F;CanadianKnifeSwap and parse them with open ai&#x27;s chatGPT to extract the knife being mentioned, i then cross-reference it with my internal db of 50K+ knives (using chatGPT to check if this is correct) before enriching the data with the image and relevant links.<p>The end result is an easy to use table that updates every 15 minutes and shows you the latest knives that got posted with their prices (if mentioned).<p>Still a WIP but thought it might be worth sharing, let me know your thoughts :)<p>-------- Feel free to follow me on Twitter if you&#x27;re interested in seeing updates on knifegeek! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;mynameisyahia" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;mynameisyahia</a>
