API Scraper

This Python script is a web scraper that fetches data from a specified API and stores it in a CSV file. It is designed to extract product information, including product name, details, sale price, and links.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, make sure you have the following:

• Python 3.x installed on your system.

This will install the necessary libraries, including requests for making HTTP requests and csv for handling CSV files.

Usage

2. Run the script:

   python scraper.py

The script will make a request to the specified API, extract product data, and save it to a CSV file named file.csv.
