# After scraping: price drop, stock change or missing data?

**Use case:** 

Synthetic demo: a 90% price drop, an out-of-stock change, and a product absent from a partial scrape. Missing data does not prove website deletion. No demo report fee. Choose compare with two READ-only product datasets or JSON arrays for a $0.05 completed report, usage included. Source scraper costs are separate.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "demo",
  "input_layout": "custom",
  "comparison_scope": "price_and_stock",
  "key_field": "id",
  "price_field": "price",
  "currency_field": "currency",
  "stock_field": "inStock",
  "previous_complete": false,
  "current_complete": false,
  "price_change_percent": 5,
  "delete_input_after_read": true
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "report_kind": {
    "label": "report kind",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "status",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "complete": {
    "label": "complete",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "counts": {
    "label": "counts",
    "format": "object"
  },
  "issue_counts_by_code": {

  },
  "coverage": {

  "issues_truncated": {

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Scraped Price & Stock Changes — Safe Snapshot Diff](https://apify.com/analytical_gratefulness/scraped-price-stock-changes.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/analytical_gratefulness/scraped-price-stock-changes.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
