AI Etsy Product Pipeline

A fully autonomous e-commerce pipeline that generates brand strategy, produces AI-written product listings, creates Canva design mockups, publishes through the Etsy REST API, audits SEO quality, and delivers daily operational health reports.

Autonomous AI System

From idea generation to marketplace publishing.

Demonstrates multi-agent AI orchestration, resilient API workflows with exponential backoff, OAuth-based platform integration, validation gates, SQLite state tracking, operational health reporting, and VPS deployment. The system cycles through BUILD, DESIGN, and MAINTAIN execution modes based on publish limits and configured cooldown periods.

Security Best Practices

Built with API safety and operational control in mind.

Because the system touches marketplace publishing, OAuth tokens, email, and AI-generated content, the project uses controls that reduce credential exposure and prevent unsafe automation behavior.

Credentials

No committed credentials

API keys and OAuth tokens stay in `.env`, while `.env.example` documents required variables without exposing real values. Runtime outputs and logs are kept out of version control.

Scanning

Pre-commit leak detection

The repo uses a gitleaks pre-commit hook with redaction enabled, helping catch accidental credentials before they leave the local development environment.

OAuth

Token lifecycle handling

Etsy and Canva tokens are acquired through OAuth setup scripts, checked during preflight, and refreshed automatically when expired instead of being hardcoded in source files.

Validation

Guardrails before publishing

The upload flow validates listing title length, tag count, price range, asset count, and staged file readiness before attempting a live marketplace publish.

Resilience

Controlled API behavior

API calls use retry handling with backoff for rate limits and server errors, while publish limits and cooldowns prevent burst automation.

Operations

Auditable runtime state

SQLite tables track queue state, published listings, run logs, SEO reviews, and sales, making failures easier to diagnose and reducing blind automation.

Skills Demonstrated

AI development with production habits.

AI Orchestration

Multi-agent workflow design

Uses separate phases for brand research, content generation, product design, publishing, SEO review, and reporting instead of one oversized script.

Platform Integration

API-first automation

Connects Anthropic, Canva, Etsy, Serper, Gmail SMTP, and local SQLite state into a coordinated workflow with validation before marketplace upload.

Operations

VPS-ready execution

Includes loop control, preflight checks, retry handling, daily digest reporting, sales sync, and service management for continuous operation.
