Features

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per result: you pay only for products returned. Platform usage is included in the result price.

Tip: set maxItems to control cost. A run returning 20 products costs about $0.08.

Use cases

  • Finding the lowest market price across many merchants
  • Price range and offer-count analysis
  • Tender price benchmarking

Notes and limits

  • Data comes from the public pricecheck.co.za website. Site changes can occasionally affect results; please report issues through the Actor's Issues tab.
  • Prices and stock change frequently. Treat results as a snapshot, not a binding quote.
