Amazon Deal Steal

Track competitor sales to learn their pricing strategy. Drop in a list of ASINs and Amazon Deal Steal grabs the latest product snapshot, pulls reviews and brand info, captures both list and sale prices, checks for strikethroughs/limited-time badges, and tags which offers are currently discounted. Schedule it to run daily and route the dataset into dealsteal.davanstrategic.com to spot promos before they erode your margins. Amazon Deal Steal currently supports amazon.com (US marketplace) only.

Current Output Fields

• timestamp_iso – capture time in UTC
• asin – product identifier from the input
• product_name – title from the PDP
• price – numeric buy-box price (USD)
• list_price – strike/List price if shown, otherwise null
• strikethrough_percent – negative percent discount when a strikethrough is present
• brand_name – cleaned brand/byline text from the PDP
• rating – star rating (e.g., 4.6)
• review_count – total review count parsed from the PDP
• limited_time_deal_active – boolean flag when a limited-time-deal badge is detected
• product_url – canonical https://{site}/dp/{asin}

Getting Started

• Create a new task from this actor and paste your ASIN list (max 100 per run). The actor is limited to the amazon.com marketplace today.
• Keep Apify Proxy enabled (group AUTO is ideal) for the best Amazon reliability.
• Save the task, schedule it to run daily, pipe the dataset through Apify’s Google Sheets Exporter actor, and hook that sheet into dealsteal.davanstrategic.com so the dashboard stays fresh automatically.

Actor Input

The actor consumes the existing schema (see INPUT_SCHEMA.json). Provide the following properties:

Property	Notes
watchlistAsins	Required; newline or comma separated ASINs (max 100).
useApifyProxy, apifyProxyGroups	Recommended to leave enabled for Amazon.

Roadmap

1. Optional ASIN discovery and auto-refresh lists (future enhancement).
2. Enhanced limited-time-deal context (countdowns, percent claimed) plus coupon detection once the snapshot workflow is rock-solid.
3. Diagnostic outputs (block reason, proxy info) behind a debug flag to help troubleshoot at scale.
