# Track new product pages of an online store

**Use case:** 

The product pages of an online store read from its sitemaps, with last-modified date and image count. Here with Only new rows on: the first run delivers the first 500 products, and every later run on a schedule delivers only the products added since, so you pay only for the new ones. Replace the store with your competitors.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "allbirds.com"
  ],
  "discover": true,
  "maxItems": 500,
  "urlIncludes": [
    "/products/"
  ],
  "maxUrlsPerSite": 0,
  "maxSitemapFiles": 500,
  "countOnly": false,
  "onlyNew": true,
  "stateName": "store-watch",
  "notifyWhenEmpty": false,
  "requestIntervalMs": 1000
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "Page address listed in the sitemap",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "imageCount": {
    "label": "Images listed for the page in an image sitemap",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "videoCount": {
    "label": "Videos listed for the page in a video sitemap",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "newsTitle": {
    "label": "Article title from a Google News sitemap; null for other pages",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "newsPublicationDate": {
    "label": "Publication date from a Google News sitemap; null for other pages",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "alternates": {
    "label": "Language and region versions of the page (hreflang and address), from xhtml:link entries; an empty list when none",
    "format": "array"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

## 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/rowcraft/sitemap-url-extractor.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`).
