# Shopify restock watch: one sold-out size vs one in-stock size

**Use case:** 

Restock watch on Shopify's Dawn theme demo: Otti Combat Boot Milky / 38 (sold out when set up) and Milky / 37 (in stock). Save it as your own task with your product and variant IDs, then schedule it daily to get availability_changed rows.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Shopify Variant Availability & Price Evidence Monitor](https://apify.com/latentlark/shopify-variant-availability-price-monitor.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/latentlark/shopify-variant-availability-price-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`).
