An MCP-compatible server for tracking product prices across e-commerce websites. This actor scrapes product pages using headless Chrome and extracts prices, product names, availability status, and seller information. Designed for AI agents that need real-time pricing data.
Features
- Multi-Site Support - Extracts prices from Amazon and other major e-commerce sites using generic selectors
- Price Parsing - Automatically detects currency (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD) and parses numerical values
- Product Details - Extracts product name, availability status, seller info, and product images
- MCP Compatible - Designed as a tool for AI agent frameworks using the Model Context Protocol
- Headless Chrome - Uses Puppeteer to render JavaScript-heavy product pages for accurate price extraction
- Fallback Safety - Always returns at least one result item, even if the product page blocks access
How It Works
The actor launches a headless Chrome browser via Puppeteer and navigates to each product URL. It waits for the page to fully render, then extracts price information using a comprehensive set of CSS selectors covering major e-commerce platforms. The extracted data includes the product name, current price, currency, seller, and availability status.
Input Configuration
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
productUrls | Array | ["https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V3KXJPB"] | Product page URLs to track |
includeHistory | Boolean | true | Whether to include price history from previous runs |
Output Format
Each result contains: productName, price (numeric), priceText (original text), currency, url, domain, seller, availability, imageUrl, and scrapedAt (timestamp).
Use Cases
- Price Monitoring - Track product prices over time to identify deals and price drops
