# Get Lazada price changes for a search

**Use case:** 

Watches a Lazada search with a watch list. The first run returns the 80 cheapest power banks on Lazada Singapore. Every later run with the same watch list name returns only new products and products whose price, price before discount, title or stock changed, with the old values. Run it on a schedule, for example every day; change the keyword and the country to your market.

## Input

```json
{
  "searches": [
    "power bank"
  ],
  "country": "sg",
  "sort": "price_low",
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 80,
  "translateTitles": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "watchName": "lazada price watch"
}
```

## Output

  "change": {
    "label": "Change",
    "format": "text"
  },

It keeps what the last run with the same watch list name saw in your Apify account and compares: rows are marked new or changed, with the old values in the field previous.

### How do I run it every day?

Save the task in your Apify account and add a schedule. Keep the same watch list name: a new name starts a new list.

### Do I pay for products that did not change?

No. Unchanged products are not stored and not charged.

## 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/maksim_lazouski/lazada-product-search-scraper.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`).
