Competitor Pricing Monitor — Price & Availability Changes

Track public competitor product pages and emit only the pricing snapshots that matter.

The Actor extracts normalized product pricing data, availability and identity fields, then optionally persists state so scheduled runs return only new or changed products.

Quick start

{
"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example.com/product" }],
"monitor": true,
"stateKey": "competitors-eu",
"emitMode": "new_and_changed",
"maxResults": 100
}

Persistent monitoring

  • new — previously unseen product URLs
  • changed — known products whose normalized price/availability data changed
  • new_and_changed — both
  • all — every observed product

Reuse the same stateKey. State is bounded and a row is acknowledged only after actual delivery, so result/spending caps do not silently consume future alerts.

Extraction

Use public structured data when available or provide CSS selectors for product name, price, compare-at price, currency and availability. Currency parsing supports configurable decimal/thousands separators and a currency hint.

Output

Each Dataset row contains source identity, scrape time and normalized pricing data. Monitoring runs add monitorStatus.

RUN_SUMMARY provides request, delivery, billing, duplicate and monitor-state counters.

Pricing

The live Store uses Apify's default-Dataset PPE event at $0.0025 per delivered product result ($2.50 / 1,000) plus the standard $0.00005 Actor-start event.

Limits

Public product markup varies and selector overrides may need maintenance after site redesigns. The Actor does not bypass authentication or CAPTCHAs.
