🛒 Google Shopping Scraper & Price Tracker - Prices, All Sellers & Shipping

Google Shopping prices by keyword or product ID: every store's offer with shipping and total price, ratings, deals. Built for price monitoring.

Use it as a Google Shopping price tracker for your business: run it on a schedule and see what every store charges for the products you sell or watch, with shipping, tax and the total price, plus a flag when a price drops to a new low. No Google account, cookies or API key needed.

⚡ Why This Actor?

All-in-one actor: input product keywords or Google product IDs, get back Google Shopping prices PLUS every store's offer with shipping, tax and total price in one run. Built for price monitoring and competitor price checks, where the number that matters is what the buyer actually pays, not the headline price. You choose which extras to switch on: the full store list and product details are optional. This actor returns product and store data as Google Shopping shows it. It does not return barcodes (GTIN/UPC/EAN), it does not return review text, and it does not log in to anything.

🎯 Use Cases

• Competitor price monitoring - track what rival stores charge for the same product, every day, with shipping and tax included
• MAP compliance checks - spot stores advertising below your minimum advertised price, with the store name, domain and offer link as evidence
• Lowest-total-price finder - compare base price, shipping and tax across up to 50 stores per product and get the cheapest total in one field
• Retail assortment research - see which products, brands and price points rank on Google Shopping for a category keyword in a given country
• Deal and discount tracking - capture old prices, discount percentages, coupon codes and "price drop" badges as they appear
• Marketplace seller discovery - find which stores and marketplaces carry a product, with their ratings and availability
• Google Shopping price tracking for your catalog - schedule daily runs on saved product IDs and get previousPrice, priceChange and isNewLowest for every product, so price drops stand out without a spreadsheet
• Competitor price tracking across stores - follow the same product at every store that sells it and see who is cheapest once shipping and tax are added
• Google Shopping API for your own tools - call the Actor from your code or no-code tool through the Apify API and get clean JSON rows instead of parsing result pages yourself

🚀 Quick Start

1. Click Try for free on this Actor's page
2. Enter one or more keywords in Search keywords, or products in Product IDs (see Inputs Overview below)
3. Run the Actor
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via Apify API

⏱️ Expect about 1 minute per search. Each search or product lookup takes roughly a minute to come back. Searches run in parallel, so 20 keywords take a few minutes, not 20.

⚙️ How it works

• Live data - every run asks Google Shopping at run time, for the country and language you pick. Nothing is served from an old copy.
• No login - no Google account, cookies or API key. You only need an Apify account.
• What ends a run - the run finishes when every keyword and product ID is done. It stops early, with a clear status message, when your maximum cost per run is reached or the free-plan limit is hit. Either way, you keep every result delivered so far.
• Typical speed - about a minute per search, with searches running in parallel.

⚙️ Inputs Overview

Input	Type	Required	Description	Example/Allowed Values
queries	array of strings	⚠️ One of queries / productIds required	Product keywords to search on Google Shopping. One search per keyword, up to 200 per run	["sony wh-1000xm5", "standing desk"]
productIds	array of objects	⚠️ One of queries / productIds required	Google product IDs from an earlier run, for detail lookup, up to 500 per run. Each object takes productId, dataDocid, gid (send all three when you have them). productId alone works but is less reliable. You can paste whole output rows from an earlier run; extra fields are ignored. Every lookup includes product details	[{"productId": "3805205938126402128", "dataDocid": "9874368152810998595", "gid": "9961958114952839788"}]

maxProductsPerQuery	integer	❌	Max products per keyword (0 = all, up to 120, free plan: up to 5). Default 40. Each extra 40 products is another results page. Free-plan runs stop at 5 results in total, whatever this field says	40
sortBy	enum	❌	Sort order, applied by Google. Default relevance	relevance, price_low_to_high, price_high_to_low, review_score
minPrice	integer	❌	Minimum price in local currency, applied by Google (whole numbers only)	50
maxPrice	integer	❌	Maximum price in local currency, applied by Google (whole numbers only)	300
includeDetails	boolean	❌	Load description, features, specifications and variations for each product in keyword mode. Always on in product-ID mode. Default false	false
includeSellers	boolean	❌	Load every store's offer with base price, shipping, tax and total. Default false	false
maxSellers	integer	❌	Max store offers per product (0 = all, up to 50). Default 10	10
compareWithPreviousRun	boolean	❌	Add previousPrice, priceChange and isNewLowest by comparing with the last run. Saved in a named key-value store in your own Apify account. Default false	false

📤 Output Fields

One dataset row per product. Fields that Google does not show for a product are null, never guessed. When Google lists the same product twice for one keyword, only the first listing is returned (and charged). Text fields are returned as plain text, without HTML tags or entities. In Apify Console the results open in three views: Overview (products, prices and price changes), Store offers (one line per store offer) and Errors and notices (explanation rows).

Field	Type	Description
status	string	ok for product rows. Explanation rows use no_data or error with an error object (type, message) and "charged": false
query	string or null	Keyword that found this product (null in product-ID mode)
searchedFor	string or null	What Google actually searched for when it rewrote your keyword (for example a spelling correction). Null when Google searched your keyword as typed. When set, the run log and status message say so: check your keyword

merchant	string or null	Store shown on the result card. In product-ID mode, the store of the lowest offer used for price
productUrl	string or null	Google Shopping product page URL. All links are returned as full URLs on the Google site of the selected country. In product-ID mode it always opens the product's Google Shopping page (never one store's offer); each store's own link is in sellers[].url
imageUrl	string or null	Featured image URL
rating	number or null	Product rating value
ratingMax	number or null	Rating scale maximum (usually 5)
reviewCount	integer or null	Number of product reviews (a count only, no review text)
delivery	string or null	Delivery message as shown, for example "Free delivery"
deliveryPrice	number or null	Delivery cost when shown. 0 when the listing says plain free delivery; null when delivery is free only above an order value
freeDeliveryThreshold	number or null	Order value from which delivery is free, for example 100 for "Free delivery on £100+"
storesCount	integer or null	Number of stores offering the product, when shown
tags	array of strings	Tags Google attaches to the product
details	object or null	Only with details on: description, features[], specifications[] (block, name, value), variations[] (productId, gid, dataDocid, title, url, category), images[], rating, ratingVotes

country	string	Market used
language	string	Language used
scrapedAt	string (ISO 8601)	When the row was produced
warning	object (only when needed)	Present when an extra could not be loaded for this product: type (DETAILS_UNAVAILABLE or SELLERS_UNAVAILABLE) and message. That extra is not charged
_metadata	object	mode, inputIndex, fetchedAt, chargedEvents (events charged for this row), extrasCopiedFromEarlierRow

Tracked price: comparisons use lowestTotalPrice when store offers were loaded, otherwise price. Keep the same settings between runs so you compare like with like.

Example output row

A real row from a live run (product-ID mode with store offers on). Long lists are shortened here, so the row shows 2 of its 4 store offers.

Explanation rows

When something stops a keyword or product from returning data, you get one row that says what happened and what to do. These rows are never charged.

error.type	status	Meaning
INVALID_INPUT	error	Something in the input needs fixing; the message says what
NO_RESULTS	no_data	Google Shopping showed no products for this keyword, or only products whose titles share no word with it (for example a misspelled keyword; common words such as "new", "best" or "sale" do not count). These products are not returned or charged
PRODUCT_NOT_FOUND	no_data	The product ID returned nothing; search the product again by keyword
TIMEOUT	error	Google Shopping did not answer in time; try again
SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE	error	The data source was temporarily unavailable; try again in a few minutes
MAX_CHARGE_REACHED	error	Your maximum cost per run was reached; raise it to get the remaining results
FREE_PLAN_LIMIT	no_data	The free-plan limit was reached (see below)

Runs that end this way still finish with status SUCCEEDED, and the run's status message repeats the explanation.

Run summary and live progress

Each run saves a RUN_SUMMARY record in its key-value store with the number of product and explanation rows, the events charged and how the run ended. While a run is active, its Live view tab shows a progress page (keywords and product IDs done, rows delivered).

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event model on Apify. You pay only for products delivered and the extras you switch on. Searches that return no products are free.

Event	Price	Charged when
apify-actor-start	$0.02 per run	Every run (Apify's built-in start event)
product	$2.50 per 1,000	Each product row delivered
product-details	$6.00 per 1,000	Each product with details loaded (includeDetails=true, or always in product-ID mode)
product-sellers	$8.00 per 1,000	Each block of up to 10 store offers delivered for a product

Worked examples

Scenario	Calculation	Total
5 keywords, 40 products each, no extras	$0.02 + 200 x $0.0025	$0.52
Same, with store offers (up to 10 per product)	$0.52 + 200 x $0.008	$2.12
1 keyword, all 120 products, with details	$0.02 + 120 x ($0.0025 + $0.006)	$1.04
Daily monitor: 20 product IDs with up to 10 store offers each	$0.02 + 20 x ($0.0025 + $0.006 + $0.008)	$0.35 per day (about $10.50 per month)
Same monitor with maxSellers=30 and 25 stores found per product	$0.02 + 20 x ($0.0025 + $0.006 + 3 x $0.008)	$0.67 per day

Never charged: explanation rows (no results, product not found, temporary errors, limits reached) have "charged": false and cost nothing.

Free plan limit

NOTE: Free Apify users receive up to 5 results per run. Upgrade to any paid Apify plan to remove this limit. This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify.

Paid Apify plans: https://apify.com/pricing

When a free plan run hits the cap, the Actor finishes successfully (status SUCCEEDED) and the run's status message explains what happened. No error is raised, so the first 5 results are fully usable as normal. Keywords are searched first, then product IDs. A free plan run also stops after 3 keywords that return no products.

🕐 Schedule and MCP Usage

Daily price monitor on a schedule. In Apify Console open Schedules, create a schedule with the cron expression 0 6 * * * (every day at 06:00) and your time zone, then add this Actor with the "daily price monitor" input above. Turn on compareWithPreviousRun so each run tells you what changed. Connect the dataset to a webhook, Google Sheets or your own system to get alerts when isNewLowest is true or priceChange is negative.

Use it from an AI assistant (MCP). This Actor can be called through Apify's MCP server, so AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol can run it as a tool. Add Apify's MCP server to your assistant with your Apify API token, then ask in plain language, for example: "Check Google Shopping prices for 'sony wh-1000xm5' in the United Kingdom and show the three cheapest stores including shipping." The assistant fills the input, runs the Actor and reads the dataset. Normal pay-per-event pricing applies.

❓ FAQ

Q: Is this legal? A: This Actor uses DataForSEO, an independent data provider that handles the underlying data collection from public Google Shopping result pages. Your downstream use of the data is your responsibility. See the full Terms of Service and the Actor-Specific Addendum below for details.

Q: Do I need an API key or any other account? A: No. You only need an Apify account.

Q: What about Google's anti-scraping enforcement? A: Google's Terms restrict automated access to its services. The data provider handles the data collection and bears the responsibility for its architecture's lawfulness. Your downstream use must comply with Google's Terms.

Q: What if Google sends a cease-and-desist? A: Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease using this Actor immediately.

Q: Can I use this data to train AI? A: Not without proper licensing. Product titles, descriptions and images are created by merchants and manufacturers, who retain copyright, and Google's Terms restrict reuse of content from its services. UnseenUser does not authorize AI training use.

Q: What about minors? A: This Actor returns product and store data, not data about individual users. It never returns reviewer names or review text. If personal data about any person ever appears in a field, you must not use it, and data about minors must be deleted. See the Addendum below.

Q: Why are some fields empty? A: Google does not show every field for every product. originalPrice appears only when Google shows a previous price, and only on main results (not carousel cards). description appears on main results or when details are loaded. deliveryPrice, storesCount and ratings appear only when Google shows them. Empty means "not shown", never "zero". In store offers, an empty shipping can mean free shipping or that shipping was not shown; check offerDetails for the delivery text.

Q: Which countries are supported? A: Any location Google Shopping supports. The country dropdown lists common markets, and you can type any other supported location name. Use location for a city or region in the "City,Region,Country" format. Set language to match the market (for example de for Germany) for the most natural results. ZIP and postal codes are not supported, so they are not an input. If a location or language is not accepted, you get an INVALID_INPUT row telling you which fields to check.

Q: Why can't I get barcodes (GTIN, UPC, EAN)? A: Google Shopping does not expose them in the data this Actor receives, in search results, product details or store offers. Use productId together with dataDocid and gid to identify products between runs instead.

Q: Why are there no filters for condition, on-sale or free shipping? A: Google Shopping search, as this Actor receives it, does not accept them as search settings. Filtering after the fact would mean paying for rows you then throw away, so this Actor only offers filters Google applies itself: price range and sort order. Each store offer still includes its condition and availability, so you can filter those yourself after the run.

Q: Why does each search take about a minute? A: Each search's results take about a minute to come back. Searches run in parallel, so a larger run takes only a few minutes more than a single search.

Q: How do I monitor the same products every day? A: Run a keyword search once, copy the productId, dataDocid and gid of the products you care about (or paste the whole rows) into productIds, turn on compareWithPreviousRun, and schedule the run. Note that Google can change product IDs over time; if a lookup stops returning data, find the product again with a keyword search.

Q: Something failed and the message asks me to open an issue. What should I send? A: Open an issue in this Actor's Issues tab with the run ID and the error type shown in the message. That is all we need to look into it.

Q: Is there a Google Shopping API? A: Google does not offer a public API for Google Shopping search results. Its merchant APIs only manage your own product listings, not what other stores charge. This Actor works as a Google Shopping API: start it from the Apify API, a schedule or an integration, and read the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Q: How do I track Google Shopping prices over time? A: Run a keyword search once, keep the productId, dataDocid and gid of the products you care about, and put them in productIds with compareWithPreviousRun on. Schedule the run daily. Each row then shows previousPrice, priceChange and isNewLowest, so this works as a Google Shopping price tracker without any extra tools.

Q: Can it find the lowest price for a product across stores? A: Yes. Turn on includeSellers and every row gets lowestTotalPrice and lowestTotalPriceSeller: the cheapest offer once shipping and tax are included, not just the cheapest headline price.

Q: Can I use it as a competitor price tracking or MAP monitoring tool? A: Yes. Track your own products by ID with store offers on, and each run lists every store's base price, shipping, total, condition and offer link. Check any price below your minimum advertised price on the store's own site before you act on it (see the Addendum below).

Q: Can I search by barcode (GTIN, UPC or EAN)? A: No. Google Shopping treats a number typed into the search as ordinary text, so a barcode search returns loosely related products, not an exact match. Search by product keyword, or use productIds from an earlier run for exact repeat lookups.

Q: Is there a limit on the free Apify plan? A: NOTE: Free Apify users receive up to 5 results per run. Upgrade to any paid Apify plan to remove this limit. This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify.

Q: How is this different from Google's own "Track price" button? A: Google's Track price is built for shoppers: you follow one product at a time in your own Google account and get a notification when it drops. This Actor is built for businesses: it tracks many products in one run, lists every store's offer with shipping, tax and total price, keeps the price history in your own Apify account, and delivers rows you can export to CSV, Excel or JSON or read through the API.

Q: Does the price include shipping and tax? A: With includeSellers on, each store offer has basePrice, shipping, tax and totalPrice, and the row shows the cheapest totalPrice in lowestTotalPrice. Tax appears only when Google shows it for the selected location; for many US stores it is empty. An empty shipping can mean free shipping or that shipping was not shown, so check offerDetails for the delivery text.

Q: How often should I track competitor prices? A: As often as you schedule it: hourly, daily or weekly. Each run takes about a minute per search.

Q: Can I get an alert when a competitor drops their price? A: The Actor does not send messages itself. Each row carries priceChange and isNewLowest, so connect the run to an Apify integration or webhook (for example Slack, email, Google Sheets, Zapier or Make) and act on those fields. The integrations video below shows how.

Q: Can I call it from Python? A: Yes, through the Apify API client for Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("unseenuser/google-shopping-scraper").call(run_input={
    "queries": ["sony wh-1000xm5"],
    "country": "United States",
    "includeSellers": True,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if item.get("status") == "ok":
        print(item["title"], item["price"], item["lowestTotalPrice"])

Q: Is there a free Google Shopping scraper or competitor price tracking tool? A: You can try this Actor on the free Apify plan, where free users receive up to 5 results per run. After that you pay per result: $0.02 per run plus $2.50 per 1,000 products, with no monthly fee for the Actor itself. Searches with no matching products are free.

Q: What is the best software for competitor price tracking? A: It depends on how you want to work. All-in-one price monitoring platforms match your catalog to competitor pages and show dashboards, usually for a monthly subscription. This Actor is the data side of that job for Google Shopping: you choose the products, it returns every store's price, shipping and total on a schedule, and you send the rows to your own spreadsheet, BI tool or repricing script. You pay only for the rows you get.

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) → Apify Platform → Actor (software) → Third-Party API → Source Platform
                                                       ↓
You (User) ← Apify Platform ← Actor (software) ← Third-Party API

What Each Party Does

• You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose
• Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
• The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
• Third-Party API Provider: DataForSEO (https://dataforseo.com). This is an independent third-party company that operates data infrastructure that retrieves public search engine result pages and returns them as structured data.
• Source Platform: Google (public search result pages). This is the platform whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Provider.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

---

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

• Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
• DataForSEO's Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
• Source Platform terms (Google) governing the public data accessed
• Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

---

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor:

• (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
• (b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API operated by DataForSEO
• (c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API
• (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

• (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
• (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by DataForSEO
• (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
• (d) A licensed access channel to Google (public search result pages) or any other source platform
• (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

• (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
• (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
• (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas)
• (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Third-Party API Provider's Role

DataForSEO (https://dataforseo.com) is an independent third-party company. It:

• (a) Operates the actual data infrastructure that retrieves public search engine result pages
• (b) Maintains relationships with source platforms (or accepts the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
• (c) Provides its own Terms of Service governing its operations
• (d) Is responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of this provider. The Publisher is not its agent, partner, or representative.

---

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
• DataForSEO is the entity that collects data from the source platform - it bears the responsibilities of a data processor or controller (depending on context) for the collection itself
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes API responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

• (a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
• (b) The Actor passes data from the Third-Party API directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
• (c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
• (d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

• (a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
• (b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
• (c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
• (d) Implementing appropriate security measures
• (e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
• (f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
• (g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
• (h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
• (i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

• Health or medical conditions
• Religious beliefs
• Political opinions
• Sexual orientation or gender identity
• Genetic or biometric data

🛡️ Actor-Specific Terms of Service Addendum

🛡️ Actor-Specific ToS Addendum - 🛒 Google Shopping Scraper - Prices, All Sellers & Shipping

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, requests three kinds of data from the Third-Party API Provider named in the Master ToS (DataForSEO): Google Shopping search results, product details, and store offers for a product. It combines the results into one structured row per product and returns the data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned. The data flows from the Third-Party API Provider through Apify's runtime directly to you. The optional price history (compareWithPreviousRun) is saved in a named key-value store inside your own Apify account, never in an account of UnseenUser.

B. Nature of Data Returned

This Actor returns: product listings as shown on public Google Shopping result pages (title, short description, price, previous price, currency, merchant name, Google Shopping product URL, image URLs, product rating value and review count, delivery message and price, number of stores, tags, special-offer and coupon text); optionally product details (description, feature snippets, specifications, product variations, images); and optionally store offers per product (store name, store domain, offer link, base price, tax, shipping, total price, condition, availability, badge text, store rating value and rating count). It does NOT return barcodes (GTIN/UPC/EAN), reviewer names, review text, buyer data, or any account data. Tax amounts are what Google shows for the selected location.

Where the Actor's output includes individual people's names, photos, contact details, or content authored by them, that data constitutes personal data subject to GDPR, CCPA, Israeli Privacy Protection Law (including Amendment 13), and equivalent privacy laws in your downstream processing - but only in your hands as the data controller, not in UnseenUser's hands as the software vendor.

C. Permitted Use Cases

You may use this Actor for the following purposes (non-exhaustive list):

• Competitor price monitoring - track what rival stores charge for the same product, every day, with shipping and tax included
• MAP compliance checks - spot stores advertising below your minimum advertised price, with the store name, domain and offer link as evidence
• Lowest-total-price finder - compare base price, shipping and tax across up to 50 stores per product and get the cheapest total in one field
• Retail assortment research - see which products, brands and price points rank on Google Shopping for a category keyword in a given country
• Deal and discount tracking - capture old prices, discount percentages, coupon codes and "price drop" badges as they appear
• Marketplace seller discovery - find which stores and marketplaces carry a product, with their ratings and availability

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

• Resell the raw dataset (product lists, store offers, price histories) as a data product
• Build a public price-comparison site or app that copies Google Shopping listings, images or descriptions
• Use the data for price-fixing or to coordinate prices with competitors (see Section J)
• Republish merchant or manufacturer images, descriptions or specifications without permission (see Section G)
• Create fake listings, fake reviews, fake ratings or misleading "lowest price" claims based on the data
• Harass, threaten or pressure resellers, including through automated MAP warning campaigns that go beyond lawful enforcement of your own agreements
• Profile individual sellers who are private persons (see Section I)
• Use the data to contact or market to sellers who are private persons
• Use the data for any product or service aimed at minors, or keep any data about a minor if such data ever appears (this Actor is not designed to return data about individuals)

E. Platform Terms of Service Considerations

Google's Terms of Service restrict automated access to its services and reuse of content shown in them. Google has actively litigated against search result scraping: on December 19, 2025, Google sued SerpApi, a search-results API company, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging circumvention of its anti-scraping protections under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 1201). In July 2026 the court granted SerpApi's motion to dismiss: claims over factual search data (URLs, snippets, index data) were dismissed without leave to amend, because that data is not a copyrighted work; claims over third-party content were dismissed with leave to amend. Google filed an amended complaint in August 2026 and SerpApi moved to dismiss it again, so the case is still ongoing. This summary reflects public reporting as of late August 2026; check for later developments. The case shows that Google treats large-scale extraction of its results as a legal matter.

This Actor accesses publicly visible Google Shopping data via the Third-Party API Provider, which bears responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection. Your downstream use must independently comply with Google's Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms).

If Google issues a cease-and-desist regarding data obtained via this Actor, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease your use immediately.

F. Combined-Endpoint Data Sensitivity

This Actor combines three kinds of data in one run. The combination is MORE commercially sensitive than any part alone:

• Search results alone: a snapshot of which products rank for a keyword (low sensitivity, visible to anyone who searches)
• Product details alone: merchant and manufacturer content for one product (copyright-sensitive, see Section G)
• Store offers alone: who sells one product and at what total price (commercially sensitive for those stores)
• Combined, and repeated on a schedule: a structured, continuously updated map of a market, with prices, stores, discounts and availability over time

This combined view is valuable for your own pricing and research, and it is exactly the kind of dataset a platform treats as a substitute for its own service. Use the combined output thoughtfully:

• Don't sell the combined dataset, or price histories built from it, as a product
• Don't build a "Google Shopping replacement" or a public mirror of Google Shopping with this data
• Use it for your own internal pricing, research and monitoring

G. Merchant and Manufacturer Content Copyright, plus AI Training

Product titles, descriptions, feature snippets, specifications and images are created by merchants, manufacturers and brands, who retain copyright and, for logos and brand names, trademark rights. Google displays this content; Google's display does not transfer any rights to you. You may:

• Analyze the content (for example price, assortment or keyword research)
• Quote short excerpts with attribution where your local law allows it
• Use facts such as prices, store names, availability and counts (facts are generally not copyrightable)

You may NOT:

• Republish product images or descriptions in your own catalog, site, ads or marketplace listings without the rights holder's permission
• Strip or alter brand names or attribution to pass content off as your own
• Imply affiliation with Google, Google Shopping, or any brand shown in the data

AI Training - Special Notice: Google's Terms of Service restrict reuse of content from its services, and merchants and brands own the content shown. The Publisher (UnseenUser) does NOT authorize, and has no ability to authorize, using this Actor's output to train AI or machine-learning models. Recent litigation (NYT v. OpenAI, Andersen v. Stability AI, and others) shows that AI training on third-party content is contested. Get proper licensing or do not train on this data. Your AI training use is your own legal exposure.

H. Price Accuracy - Point-in-Time, Not Authoritative

Prices, tax, shipping, availability and discounts change frequently and depend on the location, language and time of the request. The values this Actor returns are a snapshot of what Google Shopping showed for the selected location at the time of the run:

• Tax and total price are Google's figures for the selected location, not a binding quote from the store
• An empty shipping value can mean free shipping or that shipping was not shown
• Store offer links may be Google redirect links, and a store's own page can show a different price
• Google may change product IDs over time, so the same product can need a new keyword search

Before any legal, contractual or enforcement action (for example a MAP violation notice, a price-match claim, or a dispute), verify the price directly on the store's own website and keep your own dated evidence. Do not represent this Actor's output as an authoritative or certified price record. UnseenUser makes no warranty of accuracy (Terms of Service Section 10).

I. Store Data - Business Data with Personal-Data Edge Cases

Store names, domains, ratings and offers are generally business data about companies. However, some sellers are individuals: sole traders, small home businesses, and marketplace sellers who sell under their own name. For those sellers, the store name and any linked page can identify a natural person, and personal-data law applies in your hands as the data controller:

• Treat a seller that appears to be a private person (a personal name rather than a business name, or a personal marketplace account) as personal data
• Do not build profiles of such sellers, track them across products or platforms, or combine their data with other personal data
• Do not contact or market to them based on this data (see Section D); in Israel, the EU and many other jurisdictions marketing contact requires prior consent
• If such a person asks you to delete data about them, honor the request promptly (typically within 30 days under GDPR) and do not route them to UnseenUser, which is the software vendor, not the data controller

J. Competition Law and Price Coordination

Monitoring competitors' public prices to set your own prices independently is a normal, lawful business practice in most jurisdictions. Using the same data to coordinate prices is not. You may NOT use this Actor's output to:

• Agree, signal or coordinate prices, discounts or shipping fees with competitors (price-fixing is illegal under the US Sherman Act, EU Article 101 TFEU, the Israeli Economic Competition Law, and equivalent laws)
• Run automated pricing systems designed to align prices among competitors, or share the monitored data with competitors for that purpose
• Enforce resale prices on independent resellers where resale price maintenance is unlawful in that jurisdiction

MAP monitoring: checking advertised prices against your own minimum advertised price policy is generally permitted, but the legality of MAP and resale price policies varies by country. Enforce only agreements you actually have, through lawful channels, and get advice from qualified competition counsel before acting on MAP findings in a new market.

Use	Status
Track competitor prices daily to set your own prices independently	✅ Permitted
Check your resellers' advertised prices against your own MAP policy	✅ Generally permitted where MAP is lawful; verify locally
Share monitored price data with a competitor	❌ Competition-law risk
Use the data to agree or signal prices with competitors	❌ Price-fixing, prohibited
Mass automated threats to resellers based on unverified snapshots	❌ Prohibited (see Sections D and H)

K. Price History - Stored in Your Account

When compareWithPreviousRun is enabled, the Actor saves the last tracked price, the lowest price seen, the currency and a timestamp per product and location in a named key-value store called google-shopping-price-history inside your own Apify account. UnseenUser has no access to it and keeps no copy. As the account owner:

• You decide how long to keep it; delete the store in Apify Console whenever you want to reset or remove the history
• You are responsible for any retention, deletion and confidentiality obligations that apply to it
• The store contains only product IDs, prices and dates, no personal data, unless you add your own
• Changing the location, language or includeSellers setting between runs changes what is compared; keep settings stable for meaningful comparisons
