Ecommerce Variant Availability Monitor

Track product variant availability, price, cart signal, and restock priority from ecommerce product pages or snippets.

Who Uses It

Ecommerce teams, retail analysts, resellers, inventory monitors, and agencies.

Why It Is Useful

This actor does not save a generic web-scrape dump. It saves a compact dataset shaped around one business job, so the output is easier to review, export, and plug into research workflows.

Input

• startUrls - Public pages to inspect.
• logLines - Pasted snippets for fast tests or sources that do not need crawling.
• maxPagesPerStartUrl - Same-domain pages to inspect from each URL.
• maxResults - Maximum clean rows to save, capped at 20.
• proxyConfiguration - Optional Apify proxy settings.

Output Fields

• productTitle - Product title.
• variantOption - Size, color, or variant option.
• stockState - Available, out of stock, or availability mention.
• displayPrice - Visible product price.
• cartSignal - Add-to-cart or sold-out signal.
• restockPriority - Simple priority based on stock text.
• productPage - Product page URL.

Example Output

{
    "productTitle": "Classic Hoodie",
    "variantOption": "size Large black",
    "stockState": "in stock",
    "displayPrice": "$49",
    "cartSignal": "add to cart available",
    "restockPriority": "normal",
    "productPage": "https://example.com/products/hoodie"
}

Use Cases

• Monitor variant stock status.
• Track price and add-to-cart signals.
• Prioritize sold-out variants for restock checks.

Limits

The actor works best with public pages or focused pasted snippets. Login walls, CAPTCHA, heavy anti-bot protection, and very noisy pages can reduce result quality.

Pricing

Recommended pricing is paid per saved dataset item, so users pay for useful rows instead of empty page visits.
