# Monitor one merchant's cashback rate every week

**Use case:** 

A single target run designed to be scheduled: it opens one ShopBack merchant page and returns the current headline rate, the full rate table with the timestamp ShopBack last updated it, and the terms. Point a webhook at the run and you have a rate change alert for a competitor, a client or your own brand for a fraction of a cent per week.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/automation_craft/affiliate-network-detector.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
