yves.gugger b2dcad4b68 feat: Hidden JSON API Scrapers + Affiliate Monetization
TIER 0: Hidden JSON APIs (Most Reliable!)
- Namecheap GraphQL: aftermarketapi.namecheap.com/graphql
- Dynadot REST: 342k+ auctions with Estibot appraisals!
- Sav.com AJAX: load_domains_ajax endpoint

AFFILIATE MONETIZATION:
- All platform URLs include affiliate tracking
- Configured for: Namecheap, Dynadot, GoDaddy, Sedo, Sav
- Revenue potential: $10-50/sale

TECHNICAL:
- New hidden_api_scrapers.py with 3 platform scrapers
- Updated auction_scraper.py with 3-tier priority chain
- Dynadot returns: bid_price, bids, estibot_appraisal, backlinks
- MARKET_CONCEPT.md completely updated

Tested: Dynadot returns 5 real auctions with prices up to $10k!

Domain Auction Scraper Service
Data Acquisition Strategy (from MARKET_CONCEPT.md):
TIER 0: HIDDEN JSON APIs (Most Reliable, Fastest)
- Namecheap GraphQL API (aftermarketapi.namecheap.com)
- Dynadot REST API (dynadot-vue-api)
- Sav.com AJAX API
TIER 1: OFFICIAL APIs
- DropCatch API (Official Partner)
- Sedo Partner API (wenn konfiguriert)
TIER 2: WEB SCRAPING (Fallback)
- ExpiredDomains.net (aggregator for deleted domains)
- GoDaddy Auctions (public listings via RSS/public pages)
- NameJet (public auctions)
The scraper tries Tier 0 first, then Tier 1, then Tier 2.
ALL URLs include AFFILIATE TRACKING for monetization!
IMPORTANT:
- Respects robots.txt
- Uses reasonable rate limiting
- Only scrapes publicly available data
- Caches results to minimize requests
