Compatible Products #12

Can you add a way in the json database to see the Compatible Products like when you choose a motherboard only shows you the Compatible cpus.

Hi, thanks for the request. See #8 -- there are lots of properties that are not exposed on product listings that are only visible on individual product pages, which would give you the ability to check for compatibility. I haven't had the time to refactor the scraper to do this and frankly I'm not even sure it's possible given the fact that there are 60k+ parts, meaning you would have to send tens of thousands of requests to PCPP which is... impractical, not to mention abusive.

I can look into it more and give an update when I have the time, but no guarantees for now.
