Price Monitoring API
Programmatic access to Price Patrol's AI-powered price monitoring. Build custom integrations, automate bulk operations, and connect pricing data to your existing systems.
For agencies, developers, and merchants with advanced needs, a dashboard alone isn't enough. You need programmatic access to add competitors, retrieve pricing data, trigger repricing, and integrate competitive intelligence into your existing workflows and systems. Price Patrol's API opens the door to fully custom pricing automation.
The API provides RESTful endpoints for every core feature. Add and manage competitor URLs programmatically, retrieve current and historical pricing data, configure repricing rules, and query alert history. Bulk operations let you add hundreds of competitor URLs in a single request, making it practical to set up comprehensive monitoring for large catalogs. Webhook callbacks notify your systems in real time when price changes are detected, enabling you to build custom response logic beyond what the built-in repricing engine offers.
Use cases for the API are broad. Agencies managing multiple Shopify stores can build centralized dashboards that aggregate competitive data across all client stores. Data teams can feed pricing data into business intelligence platforms for deeper analysis. Custom applications can combine pricing data with inventory levels, advertising spend, and conversion rates to build sophisticated pricing models. The API abstracts away the complexity of web scraping, proxy management, and AI extraction, giving you clean, structured pricing data through simple HTTP requests.
