E-commerce monitoring

Monitor competitor e-commerce sites to track pricing changes, inventory status, promotional campaigns, and product page updates.

The problem

E-commerce is fiercely competitive. Pricing and promotions change constantly, and staying informed requires continuous monitoring:

• Competitors adjust prices daily or even hourly
• Flash sales and promotions appear without warning
• Product availability affects your competitive positioning
• Manual monitoring doesn't scale across hundreds of SKUs

How Allscreenshots helps

Schedule automatic captures of competitor product and pricing pages. Build a visual history of changes and integrate with your pricing intelligence systems.

• Scheduled captures — Monitor pages hourly, daily, or at custom intervals
• Visual history — Track how pricing and promotions evolve
• Bulk monitoring — Watch hundreds of product pages simultaneously
• Clean captures — Block ads and popups for consistent results

Quick example

Set up hourly monitoring of a competitor's pricing page:

curl -X POST https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/schedules \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Competitor product monitor",
    "url": "https://competitor.com/products/widget-pro",
    "schedule": "0 * * * *",
    "viewport": {"width": 1920, "height": 1080},
    "fullPage": true,
    "blockLevel": "basic",
    "webhookUrl": "https://yoursite.com/webhooks/price-monitor"
  }'

Monitor multiple products at once:

curl -X POST https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/screenshots/bulk \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "urls": [
      "https://competitor.com/products/widget-pro",
      "https://competitor.com/products/widget-basic",
      "https://competitor.com/products/widget-enterprise"
    ],
    "options": {
      "fullPage": true,
      "blockLevel": "basic"
    },
    "webhookUrl": "https://yoursite.com/webhooks/bulk-complete"
  }'
