Quick start

Perform a standard search for Rolex DateJust watches:

import chrono24

for listing in chrono24.query("Rolex DateJust").search():
    print(listing)
>>> {'id': '32322343',
    'url': 'https://chrono24.com/rolex/datejust-41mm-blue-diamond-dial-2022---126334--id32322343.htm',
    'manufacturer': 'Rolex',
    'certification_status': 'Basic',
    'title': 'Rolex Datejust 41',
    'description': '41mm Blue Diamond Dial 2022 - 126334',
    'price': '$16,553',
    'shipping_price': '$396',
    'location': 'Düsseldorf, Germany.',
    'merchant_name': 'Dealer',
    'badge': 'Professional',
    'image_urls': ['https://cdn2.chrono24.com/images/uhren/32322343-gp8hzm4ppkzsbhzc7s7bl2vh-ExtraLarge.jpg',
    'https://cdn2.chrono24.com/images/uhren/32322343-u7wq78hxqoalnfrlag1gkt8d-ExtraLarge.jpg',
    'https://cdn2.chrono24.com/images/uhren/32322343-93ykurb99s654x7aysnh8ljs-ExtraLarge.jpg',

Usage

Search for standard or detailed watch listings for any query, limiting results to, for example, 25 listings. All results will be retrieved if no limit is provided, and they'll be sorted by new.

import chrono24

rolex_dj = chrono24.query("Rolex DateJust")

# Search for standard listings
for listing in rolex_dj.search(limit=25):
    print(listing)

# Search for detailed listings
for detailed_listing in rolex_dj.search_detail(limit=25):
    print(detailed_listing)

Note: When using these functions, be cautious not to overwhelm Chrono24 with excessive requests. The search method consumes 1 request per 120 posts retrieved, while search_detail utilizes 1 request per individual post. Avoid flooding requests to maintain a balanced usage of the Chrono24 service and prevent any potential access limitations.
