Price Monitoring

Price Monitoring

Online retailers implement thousands of price changes daily that are impossible to monitor manually. As a result, e-commerce specialists rely on web intelligence solution providers such as Oxylabs' for automated real-time data delivery. 

  • Real-time data from any country

  • Robust, ethically-acquired proxies

  • Structured, ready-to-use pricing information

Price Monitoring

Conduct price monitoring with gathered data

To keep up with the ever-changing market, it’s crucial to monitor pricing data, shipping costs, and product availability. With the help of Oxylabs’ web intelligence solutions, companies can effortlessly gather all this public data and conduct price monitoring for their customers.  

Adapt to e-commerce website layout changes

Adapting to layout changes

E-commerce sites store pricing information in varied locations. This can disrupt the price extraction processes, especially with constantly changing page layouts. 

Possible risks

Parsers can't adapt to different website layouts, so companies must create parsers for each page they want to extract data from. With website layouts changing, all these parsers need maintenance. 

How can we help?

Our solutions provide already parsed data in JSON format. For example, E-Commerce Scraper API has a built-in parser, saving companies development time and costs. 

Gather data at large scale

Collect pricing data on a large scale

The e-commerce market is dynamic and, especially during sale peak times, pricing information may change several times a day. Gathering fresh and accurate prices requires a price monitoring tool that can handle large-scale operations.

Possible risks

As prices change more frequently, it becomes harder to ensure the information is up-to-date. 

How can we help?

Our customers can adjust the scraping scale anytime to meet their current needs, ensuring they receive up-to-date information.

Gather data from any location

Get geo-location based prices

Pricing information differs between websites and can be influenced by geographic location – even the same provider may alter prices based on the country or currency. As a result, it may be difficult to retrieve desired data from a particular location.

Possible risks

Larger e-commerce sites use IP addresses to tailor pricing for different countries, so businesses need reliable proxies to collect accurate pricing data. 

How can we help?

Oxylabs proxy network covers all countries in the world and offers city-level targeting, allowing companies to access pricing data from anywhere.
