Amazon Price Tracker API – Price History & Drop Alerts by ASIN

Track Amazon prices and availability by product URL/ASIN, keep previous-run state, and emit structured change data for scheduled monitoring, alerts, dashboards, and AI agents.

Use this Actor when you need an Amazon price tracker API, Amazon price history API, or Amazon price drop alert workflow without building and operating your own scraper.

What you get

Each successful product check can return:

• ASIN and product title
• current price and currency
• previous price
• price-change amount and percentage
• availability
• rating and review count
• brand and product URL
• scrape timestamp

The Actor stores previous state between runs, so repeated schedules can detect changes instead of returning isolated snapshots.

Start quickly

Paste this input, replace the product URL, and run the Actor:

{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://www.amazon.com/dp/0132350882"
  ],
  "emitOnlyChanges": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "maxItems": 10
}

For price-drop/change automation, schedule repeated runs and set emitOnlyChanges to true after the initial baseline run.

Common workflows

Amazon price drop alerts

Run on a schedule, compare the current result with stored state, and forward changed rows through Apify webhooks, Make, n8n, Slack, email, or your own backend.

Amazon price history API

Persist dataset rows from repeated runs to build a time series of observed prices and availability for your selected ASINs.

Competitor price monitoring

Track a bounded list of competitor product URLs and consume normalized results through JSON, CSV, Excel, the Apify API, or downstream BI tooling.

AI-agent tool via MCP

Expose the Actor through Apify's hosted MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab-amazon-price": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=signal_lab/amazon-price-tracker"
    }
  }
}

After Apify's OAuth flow, try: “Track this Amazon ASIN, return the current price and availability, and highlight any change from the previous run.”

See the official Apify MCP guide for supported clients and authentication options.

Output and integrations

Each successful result is a normalized dataset row. Export JSON, CSV, or Excel; call through the API; schedule runs; or connect webhooks and integrations. The Actor enforces a hard maximum item cap and records partial failures in the run summary.

Supported Amazon stores

The current implementation accepts public product pages from supported Amazon retail domains including the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, Japan, Australia, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Singapore.

Public Amazon pages may apply anti-bot protections. Optional Apify Proxy can be enabled when direct access is unreliable. Availability depends on the target page and network conditions.

Pricing and responsible use

Launch pricing is $0.003 per successful result on the base tier plus the small Actor-start event shown in the Pricing tab; higher Apify tiers may have lower per-result pricing. Third-party proxy and platform compute costs are separate where applicable.
