Use cases

1. MAP and repricing alerts

Schedule daily runs with outputMode: "changes_only" and priceChangeThreshold for noise control. Push only rows where changes.anyChange is true to your webhook or database.

2. EU expansion

Monitor the same ASINs on DE, FR, IT, ES, and GB in one run. Compare price and availability per market without five separate scrapers.

3. Buy Box watch

Set includeSellers: true. Track buyBoxSeller and changes.buyBoxChanged when the featured offer moves to another seller.

4. Competitor intelligence

Use Product search to discover SERP leaders. Apply Search Filters, then pin top ASINs in ASIN mode for stable long-term monitoring. Avoid treating SERP churn as product removal.

5. Catalog enrichment

Enable includeProductDetails for titles, images, attributes, and variant lists. Disable it for lightweight price-only checks.

6. Filtered listing only

Set mode to keyword and searchOnly to true. Add department, priceMin, priceMax, or sortBy. The run writes listing rows and skips Monitor work.

---

Example: ASIN monitor on Germany

{
  "mode": "asin",
  "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB", "B0BSHF7WHW", "B0BDHB9Y8H", "B08N5WRWNW", "B07PXGQC1Q"],
  "marketplaces": ["DE"],
  "monitorId": "de-core-catalog",
  "outputMode": "full_with_changes",
  "includeProductDetails": true,
  "includeSellers": false
}

Example: Keyword discovery on EU5

{
  "mode": "keyword",
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "maxProductsPerKeyword": 20,
  "marketplaces": ["DE", "FR", "IT", "ES", "GB"],
  "monitorId": "eu-earbuds-discovery",
  "outputMode": "full",
  "includeProductDetails": true
}

Review results. Copy ASINs you want to track. Switch to ASIN mode with a dedicated monitorId for stable monitoring.

Example: Search only with Search Filters

{
  "mode": "keyword",
  "keywords": ["wireless earbuds"],
  "searchOnly": true,
  "department": "Electronics",
  "priceMin": 20,
  "priceMax": 80,
  "sortBy": "price_low_to_high",
  "maxProductsPerKeyword": 20,
  "marketplaces": ["DE"]
}

This run writes listing rows. It does not write a Monitor baseline.

Example: Daily scheduled changes only

{
  "mode": "asin",
  "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB", "B0BSHF7WHW"],
  "marketplaces": ["DE", "FR", "IT", "ES", "GB"],
  "monitorId": "eu-map-watch",
  "outputMode": "changes_only",
  "includeSellers": true,
  "priceChangeThreshold": 1,
  "trackPriceHistory": true,
  "maxHistoryDays": 90
}

Each dataset row is one ASIN on one marketplace. Failed fetches still use the same shape with _metadata.error.

Key fields: price, currency, isAvailable, buyBoxSeller, sellers, listingStatus, changes, priceHistory, isNewProduct, keyword, searchRank.

Dataset views: overview, search, changes, sellers.

Daily schedule guide

1. Pick a stable monitorId. Example: brand-x-eu-daily. Use it on every schedule run.
2. Set outputMode to changes_only. You get rows only when something changed or a product is new.
3. Results usually arrive within one minute.
4. Create an Apify Schedule. Run once per day at your preferred time.
5. Add a webhook. In Integrations, listen for ACTOR.RUN.SUCCEEDED. Filter dataset items where changes.anyChange === true.
6. Optional: Set includeSellers: true for Buy Box alerts. Set priceChangeThreshold to ignore small moves.

Baselines live in the named Key-Value Store amazon-monitor-{monitorId}. Do not change monitorId mid-stream or diffs reset.

---

API and MCP usage

Run from API, CLI, or MCP with the same JSON input as the Console form.

apify call YOUR_USERNAME/amazon-product-scraper-monitor --input '{
  "mode": "asin",
  "asins": ["B09V3KXJPB"],
  "marketplaces": ["DE"],
  "monitorId": "api-test"
}'

Fetch results from the run dataset. Use the changes view for alert pipelines.

---

FAQ

Does this guarantee zero blocking?
No. The merchant API can return empty results or errors. This Actor avoids Amazon HTML captchas. It does not bypass all upstream limits.

Why is my first schedule run large?
The first run creates baselines. Every product is isNewProduct. Later runs shrink with changes_only.

Belgium and Egypt language?
Belgium defaults to Dutch (nl_NL). Set languageCode to fr_FR for French. Egypt defaults to ar_SA. Retry with ar_AE if language errors occur.

Limits

• Max 500 ASIN × marketplace checks per run (also capped by maxTotalChargeUsd).
• Max 100 tasks per priority API batch (split automatically).
• Internal concurrency defaults to 10.
• Keyword mode: products can drop from search without being delisted (droppedFromSearch).
• Currency is per record. Do not compare prices across markets without conversion.
