# Monitor a competitor's pricing page for changes

**Use case:** 

Saves a baseline of the visible text on a pricing page, then on every run reports exactly what changed, with any change mentioning price, discount or plan flagged as major. Schedule it hourly or daily and add a Slack or Telegram webhook to hear about a price move the same day.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://github.com/pricing"
  ],
  "watchKeywords": [
    "price",
    "discount",
    "plan",
    "free"
  ],
  "notifyOnFirstRun": false,
  "monitorMode": "text",
  "minChangePercent": 0,
  "monitorName": "pricing",
  "resetBaseline": false,
  "concurrency": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "severity": {
    "label": "Severity",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "changePercent": {
    "label": "Change %",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "diff": {
    "label": "Diff",

## 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/fayoussef/website-change-monitor.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`).
