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
- Enter a search such as
iphone 16. - Select the MercadoLibre marketplace.
- Choose how many top products to monitor (1–20; 5 is recommended for the first baseline).
- Run once to create a baseline.
- 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:
watchKeychangedbaseline- normalized product data
- detected commercial changes
Use the output directly in Apify integrations, schedules, webhooks, or external automation pipelines.
