Price intelligence infrastructure for developers

Start with a product. Build a price app.

Find matching products, compare seller prices, or read their price history. Try a workflow in Playground or run the Node.js example. Snapshot and History are in public Beta.

Need a product ID? Start with the free Product Catalog Lookup. Keep the returned ID, ID type and market together when requesting Snapshot or History.

Use PricesAPI data to build price comparisons and history views. Coverage varies by product and market; your application handles analysis and pricing decisions.

Pricewatch 0.2.2 · MIT

Start with a working price app

Search for a product, choose its exact identity, compare seller offers and observed history, then save it to a browser-local watchlist. This Next.js + TypeScript starter has no background monitoring.

The MIT source download is available below. The source download does not include a hosted demo or a shared API key.

Download Pricewatch 0.2.2 source (.tar.gz)API documentation

Run the sample locally

Use Node.js 22.14 or later. From the directory containing the download:

mkdir pricewatch
tar -xzf pricewatch-0.2.2-source.tar.gz -C pricewatch
cd pricewatch
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:3010. With no API key, the app uses clearly labelled fictional samples. Follow the included README to configure your own server-side key when ready; live API requests have separate usage charges.

Guided job 1

Search by product name

Find matching products and see the seller prices returned with each result.

Query: Sony WH-1000XM5
Countries: 🇺🇸 United States
Node runner: node examples/pricesapi/search.mjs --query "Sony WH-1000XM5" --markets us

Open in Playground Runnable source

Guided job 2

Match a retailer product URL

Pass a retailer URL directly and inspect the matched product plus merchant coverage.

Query: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-macbook-air-13-inch-m4-256gb-16gb-midnight
Countries: 🇦🇺 Australia
Node runner: node examples/pricesapi/search.mjs --query "https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/apple-macbook-air-13-inch-m4-256gb-16gb-midnight" --markets au

Open in Playground Runnable source

Guided job 3

Check one query across countries

Reuse the same query across multiple markets and inspect country-labelled results side by side.

Query: Dyson V15 Detect Absolute
Countries: 🇺🇸 United States🇦🇺 Australia🇬🇧 United Kingdom
Node runner: node examples/pricesapi/search.mjs --query "Dyson V15 Detect Absolute" --markets us,au,gb

Async workflow · Beta

Run many Searches asynchronously

Submit up to 100 ordered Searches, disconnect, then collect results before the job expires. The Beta is available to every valid API account. Each item uses the ordinary Search contract with global coverage.

Node runner

node examples/pricesapi/bulk-search.mjs --query "Sony WH-1000XM5" --query "Kindle Paperwhite" --market au

Product Snapshot · Beta

Read a known product

Already have a product ID? Read its latest stored seller prices without repeating Search. Pass the ID type and market with it. To read several products, the Snapshot batch accepts up to 100 identities and returns results in the order you sent them.

Node runner

node examples/pricesapi/product-snapshot.mjs --id 123456 --id-type pricesapi --market gb

Replace the example ID and market with a product from Catalog Lookup or Search.

Read the Product Snapshot guide View product-snapshot.mjs

Price History · Public Beta

Read recorded price history

Use the same product ID, ID type and market as Snapshot. Each price includes its seller and recording time, so you can chart prices by seller. History depth varies by product and market. Missing days remain gaps, not zero prices.

node examples/pricesapi/history.mjs --id 123456 --id-type pricesapi --market gb --from 2026-09-14 --to 2026-09-20

Replace the example ID, market and dates. Start with a short window: the first read reserves credits for the requested days, then charges for days with prices. See the History guide for costs and pagination.

Schedules · Beta

Set up recurring product discovery

Add a query and market, check whether it was accepted, then read its activity or pause it. Follow the cURL or JavaScript walkthrough. Schedule management uses no API credits; a separate Search retrieves products and offers under the normal credit rules.

Read the Schedule walkthrough

Playground links fill the form but do not send a request. Review the market and cost before you run it. Node.js examples require your API key.

A Search with at least one merchant offer uses 10 credits, including cache hits. Search responses with no products or no merchant offers, and failed requests, use no credit. Pricing models, included allowances, and usage limits for all Beta features may change before general availability. Existing Product Search pricing and credit allowances remain unchanged unless separately announced.
