# Competitor Price Monitoring on Google Shopping

**Use case:** 

Track the prices of your products and your competitors' across every store in Google Shopping. Schedule it: each run returns only price drops and increases (with the previous price), new sellers, sellers gone and a new lowest price. Ignore small moves with a minimum change percent.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "products",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Shopping Scraper & Price Tracker (MAP Monitor)](https://apify.com/s_actors/google-shopping-price-tracker.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/s_actors/google-shopping-price-tracker.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`).
