Monitor MercadoLibre search results and products over time and get a clean list of what changed.

This Actor is built for sellers, ecommerce teams, agencies, repricing systems, and price-intelligence workflows that need more than a one-off scrape.

What it tracks

For every monitored product, the Actor can detect changes in:

  • price
  • search ranking
  • seller
  • promotion / discount status
  • availability

Each run compares the latest snapshot with the previous one stored under the same watch history.

Typical use cases

  • competitor price monitoring
  • MercadoLibre repricing workflows
  • category and assortment monitoring
  • seller intelligence
  • promotion tracking
  • search-ranking monitoring
  • ecommerce alerts and automations

Quick start

  1. Enter a search such as iphone 16.
  2. Select the MercadoLibre marketplace.
  3. Choose how many top products to monitor (1–20; 5 is recommended for the first baseline).
  4. Run once to create a baseline.
  5. Run again later with the same Watch history name.

On later runs, baseline becomes false and the changes array reports any commercial changes detected since the previous snapshot.

Example output

{
"changed": true,
"baseline": false,
"item": {
"id": "MLA...",
"title": "Example product",
"price": 1299999,
"rank": 2,
"promotion": true,
"source": "apify-upstream"
},
"changes": [
{
"type": "price_change",
"before": 1399999,
"after": 1299999
},
{
"type": "rank_change",
"before": 4,
"after": 2
}
]
}

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event pricing.

  • Event: item_checked
  • Price: $0.01 per checked product
  • Platform usage is included in the event price

For example, checking 5 products costs approximately $0.05 per run.

Data-source behavior

For keyword monitoring, the Actor first tries the official MercadoLibre API and automatically falls back to one bounded-cost marketplace provider when the API is unavailable. It never fans out across multiple paid providers. Direct item-ID monitoring requires a valid MercadoLibre access token so a one-item run cannot accidentally incur a multi-item upstream cost.

Countries

Current presets include:

  • Argentina
  • Mexico
  • Brazil
  • Colombia
  • Chile
  • Peru
  • Uruguay

Output

Each dataset row contains:

  • watchKey
  • changed
  • baseline
  • normalized product data
  • detected commercial changes

Use the output directly in Apify integrations, schedules, webhooks, or external automation pipelines.
