1. A computer-implemented method for generating a data grid interface, comprising:

  • receiving, via a network interface of a data mining system, data in association with a plurality of products from one or more merchant websites;

    generating and presenting, by the data mining system, a data grid interface including cells based on the data, wherein each cell of the cells represents a product of the plurality of products or a replacement of the product of the plurality of products;

    identifying and displaying, by the data mining system, information regarding products or replacements of the products in the cells; and

    updating, by the data mining system, the contents of cells of the data grid interface automatically in real time in response to new data received from the merchant websites;

    responsive to updating the contents of cells and detecting historical information of the grid, adding, by the data mining system, a time element into a cell, the time element configured to allow selection of a slice of time for the grid and the time element configured to, responsive to a selected slice of time, track the historical information of the grid by being configured to layer multiple slices of grid data on top of each other;

    wherein a cell of the cells contains multiple frames and represents a product, each frame of the frames represents a status of the product at a different time point; and

    wherein the cell contains an interactive time control, the interactive time control configured to cause a switch between the frames of the cell in response to a user request.
