Use case · Price monitoring

Track every competitor price. On your schedule.

Manual price checks don’t scale. The Ujeebu Scrape API fetches any product page, renders JavaScript, handles proxies and returns the price, stock and seller fields you define as JSON. You run the schedule and the pricing logic; we return the data.

The challenge

The price monitoring challenge.

In a competitive market, pricing makes or breaks the quarter. Manual tracking creates the blind spots competitors are already exploiting.

Missed pricing windows

Checking prices by hand means you see a competitor’s move hours or days after it happened.

Undetected MAP violations

Resellers undercut your advertised price and nobody notices until a partner complains.

No market visibility

Spot-checking a handful of competitors leaves blind spots in seasonal patterns, promo cycles and elasticity signals.

Blocked scrapers

Marketplaces block simple scrapers, so in-house price crawlers break exactly when you need them.

Use cases

What teams build with it.

Dynamic pricing

Feed your repricing engine.

Pull current list prices for thousands of SKUs and pass them to your repricing rules. Store each result with a timestamp to follow promo cycles and Buy-Box changes.

Business outcomes
  • Current competitor prices as structured JSON
  • Repricing driven by your own rules and thresholds
  • Underpriced items spotted across categories
  • Margin floors enforced in your own pricing logic
MAP enforcement

Find listings below your MAP.

Scrape retailer and marketplace listings for your products, compare each advertised price with your MAP in your own code, and capture a screenshot of the page as evidence.

Business outcomes
  • Advertised prices checked against your MAP list
  • Page screenshots kept as enforcement evidence
  • Repeat offenders identified from your stored results
  • Authorised-reseller margin protected
Competitive intel

See how competitors price over time.

Collect prices from as many competitor sites as you need and keep them in your own database or warehouse. That history powers promo-cycle, seasonal and category analysis in the BI tool you already use.

Business outcomes
  • A pricing dataset you own and control
  • Seasonal patterns and promo cycles from your own history
  • Trend analysis in your existing BI tool
  • Strategic inputs for category management
Market basket

Compare basket totals, not just per-unit.

Extract bundle prices and frequently-bought-together offers from competitor pages, then compare the total cart cost with yours to see where your bundles leave money on the table.

Business outcomes
  • Bundle prices compared side by side
  • Total cart cost benchmarked against competitors
  • Cross-sell ideas from competitor bundles
  • Bundle pricing decisions backed by data

How it works

Three steps to your own price monitor.

1

Define URLs and fields

List the product URLs you want to watch and write extract_rules for price, availability, seller, shipping and promos. Test the rules in the playground first.

2

Call the API on your schedule

Run the calls from your own cron job, queue or cloud function: hourly for fast-moving items, daily or weekly for the rest. The API handles proxies and JavaScript rendering.

3

Store, compare, alert

Save each JSON result with a timestamp in your database. Your code compares prices, flags MAP violations and sends alerts to Slack, email or your pricing tools.

Try it

Features

Built for production price data.

Live pages, every call

Each request fetches the page as it is now, so you get the current price, stock and promo, not a cached copy.

Fields you define

extract_rules map CSS selectors to JSON fields such as price, availability and seller. Re-test a rule when a site changes its layout.

Multi-geo pricing

Choose the proxy country to see regional prices and currencies, then compare markets in your own analysis.

Anti-bot handling

JavaScript rendering plus rotating, premium and residential proxies. auto_proxy moves to a stronger proxy only when needed and bills only the tier that answered.

REST API and SDKs

Plain HTTPS with SDKs for Python, Node.js and Go. Drop the calls into your pricing engine, ETL job or workflow tool.

Pay for results

Scrape is 1 credit per page (5 with JavaScript rendering, 25 with premium proxies and JavaScript). Blocked and timed-out requests are not billed.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is web scraping for price monitoring legal?
Collecting publicly visible prices is a common competitive practice. In hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn, US courts found that scraping publicly accessible data is not unauthorized access under the CFAA, but terms of service, copyright and privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA still apply. Keep request rates reasonable and review each site’s terms. You are responsible for how you collect and use data; check with your own counsel.
How often should I monitor competitor prices?
It depends on volatility: hourly for electronics and competitive categories, daily for standard retail, weekly for stable items. You run the schedule from your own infrastructure and call the Scrape API.
How accurate is automated price monitoring?
Selector-based extraction is deterministic, so accuracy depends on your extract_rules. JavaScript rendering and proxies handle dynamic prices and anti-bot pages. Re-test your rules when a site changes its layout.
Can I monitor prices on Amazon and other heavily-protected sites?
Yes. The Scrape API renders JavaScript and offers premium and residential proxies for protected sites like Amazon. Map price, availability, seller and rating fields with extract_rules.
What if a site starts blocking us?
Switch to a stronger proxy (advanced, premium or residential) or set auto_proxy=true, which moves up the proxy tiers until one returns the page and bills only that tier. Blocked requests are not billed.
How do I set up MAP violation alerts?
Ujeebu provides the data, not the alerting. Scrape your product URLs on a schedule, compare each price to your MAP threshold in your own code, and send alerts by email, webhook or Slack.
