Track price and stock changes between two product scrapes

Feed it today's and yesterday's datasets from any product scraper and get one row for each product whose price, stock or other fields changed, with the old and new values side by side. New and removed products are left out, so the result is a short list of real changes. Run it after each scheduled scrape to build a price history or an alert list.

Frequently asked questions

The price change task works with the dataset of any scraper, as long as each product has a stable key such as its URL or SKU. Choose that field as the key field.

Yes. List them in ignoreFields, for example scrapedAt or a rating count, and the price change task compares only the remaining fields.

Yes. Set stateStoreName and the Dataset Change Tracker remembers the last run (as hashes), so each run of the price change task compares with the previous one without choosing it.
