How to monitor competitor prices with a web scraper

Price monitoring is one of the highest-ROI uses of web scraping. Here's how to set it up in an afternoon — no code.

1. Capture the price field

Open a competitor's product page and click the price with the visual picker. Add fields for the product name, SKU and URL so each row is identifiable.

2. Cover the whole catalog

Point at the "next page" link to follow pagination, or seed the crawl from the category pages or a sitemap to capture every product.

3. Schedule it

Run the crawl on a daily or hourly schedule. Enable change detection so you're notified — Slack, webhook or email — only when a price actually moves.

4. Use the data

Export to Google Sheets or BigQuery, or pull the price history via the API into your own dashboard or repricing logic.

Typed fields and anomaly alerts keep the dataset clean and tell you if a layout change breaks your selectors. Start free and build your price monitor today.
