Track price and stock changes before they cost you sales.

Price & Stock Monitor watches product pages and returns a clean snapshot of the current price and availability.

Best for

  • ecommerce price monitoring
  • competitor stock tracking
  • supplier availability watchlists
  • affiliate deal monitoring
  • product launch alerts

What you get

  • URL and final URL
  • HTTP status
  • title
  • extracted price
  • stock state
  • change status
  • changed fields
  • text preview
  • optional raw HTML and snapshot data

How it works

  1. Send product URLs.
  2. The Actor fetches each page.
  3. It extracts title, price, and stock signal.
  4. It compares the current snapshot with the last one.
  5. It stores the new snapshot for the next run.

Why buyers choose it

  • narrow and deterministic
  • cheap to run frequently
  • simple output contract
  • easy to explain to buyers
  • good fit for recurring operational alerts

Example input

{
"urls": ["https://books.toscrape.com/catalogue/a-light-in-the-attic_1000/index.html"],
"includeSnapshot": true,
"maxTextChars": 3000,
"timeoutSecs": 30
}

Notes

This Actor is intentionally lighter than a generic crawler:

  • no browser dependency in the MVP
  • no heavy recursive crawling
  • focused on actionable monitoring, not broad scraping
  • optimized for frequent runs on a small number of URLs
