What does Price Tracker do?

Price Tracker takes a list of product page URLs and extracts structured pricing data from each one, using whichever product information the site already publishes. This makes it work on virtually any e-commerce site, not just the major platforms.

Why use this over alternatives?

• Significantly cheaper than the leading competitor, per result
• Universal — works on any site that publishes product data, not just a handful of platforms
• 20+ Amazon domains — US, UK, India, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, Brazil, UAE, and more
• Indian e-commerce — Flipkart, Myntra, AJIO, Snapdeal, Meesho, Nykaa support
• Discount tracking — extracts both current price and original price, calculates discount percentage
• Scheduling-ready — run daily or hourly to build price history over time

Use cases

Competitor price monitoring

Track competitor product prices daily. Schedule this actor to run every morning and export results to Google Sheets or your pricing dashboard.

MAP compliance

Monitor whether resellers are maintaining minimum advertised pricing across marketplaces. Track the same product across Amazon, Walmart, and individual retailer sites.

Dropshipping margin tracking

Compare supplier prices on AliExpress or Alibaba against your retail prices on Shopify. Detect when supplier price changes erode your margins.

Cross-region price comparison

Track the same Amazon product across US (.com), UK (.co.uk), India (.in), Germany (.de), and Japan (.co.jp) to identify regional pricing differences.

Price history and trend analysis

Schedule daily runs to build a price history dataset. Combine with Apify's dataset export to visualize trends in your BI tool.

This actor uses Pay-Per-Event pricing — you only pay for successfully extracted results. Compared to Forward Workstation's Competitor Price Tracker and Apify's E-commerce Scraping Tool, this actor costs significantly less per result.

How to schedule price monitoring

1. Run this actor once to verify it works with your URLs
2. Go to Schedules in the Apify Console
3. Create a new schedule with your desired frequency (daily, hourly, weekly)
4. Set this actor as the target with your product URLs as input
5. Results accumulate in the dataset — export to Google Sheets, webhook to Slack, or consume via API

Integration

Results are available via:

• Apify API — fetch results programmatically from any language
• Webhooks — get notified when a run completes
• Google Sheets — direct export integration
• Zapier / Make / n8n — connect to 1000+ apps
• CSV / JSON / Excel — download from the Apify Console

Limitations

• Sites behind login walls or requiring authentication are not supported
• Amazon product pages currently show a CAPTCHA to automated traffic, so Amazon URLs will usually fail; Flipkart and most Shopify stores work reliably
• Some sites with stronger automated-access protections may fail to return data
• Sites without any embedded product information cannot be extracted from
• Currency detection depends on the site's own data — some small sites may not include it
• Price Tracker extracts the current snapshot. Build price history by scheduling repeated runs.
