Introduction
Pricing in 2025 is no longer static.
If your price stays the same for even 24 hours, you risk:
- Losing visibility
- Dropping rankings
- Missing conversions
That’s why competitor price monitoring has become a must-have strategy.
Why APIs Don’t Work for Price Monitoring
Most marketplaces:
- Don’t expose competitor prices via APIs
- Limit request volume
- Hide discounts and seller data
So how do brands track prices?
👉 Web-based datasets and scraping.
