📋 Step-by-Step Manual Verification

Step 1: Check Store Data

This verifies that grocery chains and stores are being tracked:

http://139.59.210.35/matpriskollen/api/chains

What to look for:

✅ Good Response: You should see a list of grocery chains like ICA, Coop, Lidl, etc. with store counts for each chain. Total stores should be around 2,000+.

❌ Bad Response: Empty list, error message, or "connection refused" - this indicates the system is down.

Step 2: Check System Analytics

This shows overall system statistics and recent activity:

http://139.59.210.35/matpriskollen/api/analytics/summary

What to look for:

✅ Good Response: Should show 12 chains, 2,000+ stores, 21 regions, and recent scraping sessions with "completed" status.

❌ Bad Response: Zero values, missing data, or error messages indicate system problems.

Step 3: Check Scheduler Status

This verifies the scraping scheduler is running correctly:

http://139.59.210.35/matpriskollen/api/scheduler/status

What to look for:

✅ Good Response: "is_running": true, "status": "success" in last_run, and a future date for next_run (every Monday at 08:00).

❌ Bad Response: "is_running": false, failed runs, or errors in the last_run section.
