What is price scraping?<\/h2>\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/scraping-bot-illustration-1.webp\" alt=\"Price scraping API - monitor competitor prices in real time\" class=\"sb-float-right\" \/>\r\n <p><strong>Price scraping<\/strong> is the automated extraction of pricing data from websites \u2014 product pages, category listings, or search results \u2014 using a scraper or API. It is a core component of any <strong>competitor price monitoring<\/strong> strategy, enabling businesses to track market prices continuously and in real time.<\/p>\r\n <p>Unlike manual price checks, a <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> can monitor thousands of product listings simultaneously across multiple platforms, returning structured data ready for analysis or direct integration into your pricing engine.<\/p>\r\n <p>Price scraping is used across industries \u2014 e-commerce, retail, travel, finance \u2014 wherever pricing is dynamic and competitive positioning matters. The collected data feeds into <strong>competitive price analysis<\/strong>, dynamic repricing engines, and strategic pricing decisions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"why-monitor\">2. Why a price scraping API matters for real-time monitoring<\/h2>\r\n <p>In e-commerce, prices change constantly. A competitor can drop their price by 15% overnight, and without <strong>real-time price monitoring<\/strong>, you won't know until you've already lost the sale. Here's what continuous price tracking gives you:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Competitor price visibility<\/strong> \u2014 see exactly how your prices compare at any given moment across all major platforms<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Dynamic pricing capability<\/strong> \u2014 adjust your prices automatically based on real-time market signals<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Margin protection<\/strong> \u2014 detect undercutting before it impacts your revenue<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Seasonal trend detection<\/strong> \u2014 identify price patterns during peak periods (Black Friday, back-to-school, flash sales)<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Product positioning analysis<\/strong> \u2014 understand where your product sits in the market and refine your pricing strategy accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Stock and availability monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 track out-of-stock events to identify supply gaps and pricing opportunities<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <p>The more frequently you scrape prices, the more accurate your <strong>pricing intelligence<\/strong> \u2014 and the faster you can react to market changes. For highly competitive categories like electronics or fashion, hourly scraping is standard practice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"platforms\">3. Platform-by-platform analysis<\/h2>\r\n <p>Not all e-commerce platforms are equal when it comes to <strong>competitor price scraping<\/strong>. Each has its own pricing dynamics, data structure, and technical challenges. Here's what you need to know about the major platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Amazon<\/h3>\r\n <p>Amazon is the most critical platform for price monitoring. Its algorithmic repricing means prices can change multiple times per day \u2014 sometimes per hour. Key data points to extract include the Buy Box price, third-party seller prices, Prime eligibility, and shipping costs. Amazon's aggressive bot detection makes a reliable <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> essential \u2014 direct scraping without IP rotation and JavaScript rendering will result in immediate blocks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>eBay<\/h3>\r\n <p>eBay combines fixed-price listings with auction formats, making it uniquely valuable for price benchmarking. Fixed-price listings give you a direct competitor price reference, while completed auction data reveals what buyers are actually willing to pay \u2014 a powerful signal for <strong>price positioning analysis<\/strong>. eBay's API is partially open, but category-level and seller-level scraping still requires a dedicated solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Temu<\/h3>\r\n <p>Temu has disrupted pricing across dozens of categories with ultra-low prices driven by direct-from-manufacturer sourcing. Monitoring Temu prices is now essential for any retailer competing on price \u2014 particularly in categories like home goods, fashion accessories, and electronics peripherals. Temu's frontend is heavily JavaScript-rendered, requiring full browser emulation for reliable extraction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Alibaba & AliExpress<\/h3>\r\n <p>Alibaba and AliExpress are the primary sources for wholesale and retail price benchmarking against Chinese suppliers. Monitoring these platforms helps you track the factory-gate price of goods \u2014 a leading indicator of where retail prices are heading. AliExpress product pages include detailed pricing tiers, shipping options, and seller ratings, all extractable via ScrapingBot's API as structured <strong>JSON product data<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Rakuten<\/h3>\r\n <p>Rakuten is the dominant marketplace in Japan and has significant presence in France and other European markets. For brands operating in these regions, Rakuten price monitoring is essential for maintaining consistent cross-market pricing and detecting grey market activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Brand & retailer websites<\/h3>\r\n <p>Beyond marketplaces, direct competitor websites are often the most valuable source of pricing intelligence. Product pages on brand sites, retailer category pages, and promotional landing pages all contain pricing data that can be scraped continuously to track MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) compliance and promotional activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"scrapingbot\">4. ScrapingBot's price scraping API<\/h2>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot's <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> is designed for developers and data teams who need reliable, scalable access to competitor pricing data. It handles JavaScript rendering, residential IP rotation, and CAPTCHA bypass automatically \u2014 so you get clean, structured data without infrastructure overhead.<\/p>\r\n <p>Authentication is via a single <strong>API key<\/strong>, and responses are returned as normalized <strong>JSON product sheets<\/strong> regardless of the source platform. The same API call works on Amazon, eBay, Temu, and Alibaba \u2014 ScrapingBot handles the platform-specific parsing internally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"tutorial\">5.

Key use cases: competitor price intelligence<\/h2>\r\n <p>Once your <strong>competitor price scraping<\/strong> pipeline is running, the data unlocks several high-value applications:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Price positioning analysis<\/strong> \u2014 determine where your product sits in the market (cheapest, mid-range, premium) and adjust your strategy accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Dynamic repricing<\/strong> \u2014 feed scraped prices directly into your repricing engine to stay competitive automatically<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Price history & trend tracking<\/strong> \u2014 store daily price snapshots to detect trends, seasonality, and promotional cycles<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>MAP compliance monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 detect resellers violating Minimum Advertised Price agreements in real time<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Cross-platform benchmarking<\/strong> \u2014 compare your pricing across Amazon, eBay, Temu, and Alibaba simultaneously<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Out-of-stock opportunity detection<\/strong> \u2014 when a competitor goes out of stock, it's the optimal moment to adjust your price upward<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"best-practices\">8. Price Scraping API: best practices<\/h2>\r\n <p>To get the most out of your <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> and maintain reliable, high-quality data, follow these guidelines:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Define your product scope precisely<\/strong> \u2014 focus on directly comparable SKUs rather than entire category pages to keep your dataset clean and actionable<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Match scraping frequency to price volatility<\/strong> \u2014 Amazon prices can change hourly; niche retailer sites may only update weekly. Calibrate your scraping cadence accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Normalize currency and units<\/strong> \u2014 prices across Alibaba, eBay, and Rakuten come in different currencies and formats. Always normalize before comparison<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Validate data quality<\/strong> \u2014 implement checks to detect missing prices, implausible values, or scraping failures before data enters your pipeline<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Respect terms of service<\/strong> \u2014 always check the scraping policies of each platform and operate within legal boundaries<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Store historical data from day one<\/strong> \u2014 retroactive price history cannot be reconstructed. Start collecting and storing timestamps immediately<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"further\">9. Going further: continuous price monitoring<\/h2>\r\n <p>Once your <strong>price scraping<\/strong> pipeline is running continuously, the next step is turning raw data into actionable intelligence. Plug the JSON output into a <a href=\"https:\/\/plotly.com\/python\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plotly<\/a> dashboard to visualize real-time price trends across platforms, or connect it directly to your e-commerce backend for automated repricing. For large-scale deployments, consider a time-series database like InfluxDB or TimescaleDB to efficiently store and query millions of price records over time. ScrapingBot also supports email scraping, real estate data extraction, and social media monitoring with the same unified API interface.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n <p><strong>Ready to monitor competitor prices in real time?<\/strong> Get 500 free API calls when you sign up for ScrapingBot.<\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">Try ScrapingBot for free \u2192<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n.sb-article { max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: inherit; color: inherit; line-height: 1.7; }\r\n.sb-float-right { float: right; margin: 0 0 1rem 1.5rem; max-width: 280px; width: 40%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px; }\r\n.sb-meta { display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; flex-wrap: wrap; }\r\n.sb-tag { background: #e6f1fb; color: #185fa5; font-size: 12px; padding: 4px 12px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-read-time { font-size: 13px; color: #888; }\r\n.sb-intro { font-size: 16px; border-left: 3px solid #378add; padding-left: 1rem; color: #444; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc { background: #f8f8f8; border: 1px solid #e8e8e8; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1rem 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc-title { font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600; color: #666; margin: 0 0 8px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em; }\r\n.sb-toc ol { margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; }\r\n.sb-toc li { font-size: 14px; padding: 3px 0; }\r\n.sb-toc a { color: #185fa5; text-decoration: none; }\r\n.sb-toc a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }\r\n.sb-article h2 { font-size: 22px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2.5rem 0 0.75rem; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article h3 { font-size: 17px; font-weight: 600; margin: 1.5rem 0 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article p { margin: 0 0 1rem; }\r\n.sb-article ul, .sb-article ol { margin: 0 0 1rem; padding-left: 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article li { margin-bottom: 6px; }\r\n.sb-article pre { background: #1e1e1e; color: #d4d4d4; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1.25rem; overflow-x: auto; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article code { font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; }\r\n.sb-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; font-size: 14px; }\r\n.sb-table th { text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; background: #f4f4f4; font-weight: 600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd; }\r\n.sb-table td { padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; }\r\n.sb-table tr:last-child td { border-bottom: none; }\r\n.sb-cta { background: #e6f1fb; border: 1px solid #b5d4f4; border-radius: 10px; padding: 1.5rem; margin: 2.5rem 0 0; text-align: center; }\r\n.sb-cta p { margin: 0 0 1rem; font-size: 15px; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn { display: inline-block; background: #185fa5; color: white; padding: 10px 24px; border-radius: 6px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn:hover { background: #0c447c; }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Web scraping 10 min read \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 Published: 31\/07\/2023Want to monitor competitor prices in real time across Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Temu, or Alibaba?

This guide explains how to use ScrapingBot's <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> to collect, structure, and analyze competitor pricing data \u2014 continuously and at scale \u2014 and export it as <strong>JSON product sheets<\/strong> ready for your pricing engine. Whether you need a <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> for dynamic repricing or competitive intelligence, this tutorial covers everything.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-toc\">\r\n <p class=\"sb-toc-title\">Table of contents<\/p>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li><a href=\"#what-is\">What is price scraping?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#why-monitor\">Why real-time price monitoring matters<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#platforms\">Platform-by-platform analysis<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#scrapingbot\">ScrapingBot's price scraping API<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#tutorial\">Python tutorial: scraping competitor prices<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#output\">JSON product sheet output<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#use-cases\">Key use cases: competitor price intelligence<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#best-practices\">Price Scraping API: best practices<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#further\">Going further: continuous price monitoring<\/a><\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"what-is\">1. What is price scraping?<\/h2>\r\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/scraping-bot-illustration-1.webp\" alt=\"Price scraping API - monitor competitor prices in real time\" class=\"sb-float-right\" \/>\r\n <p><strong>Price scraping<\/strong> is the automated extraction of pricing data from websites \u2014 product pages, category listings, or search results \u2014 using a scraper or API. It is a core component of any <strong>competitor price monitoring<\/strong> strategy, enabling businesses to track market prices continuously and in real time.<\/p>\r\n <p>Unlike manual price checks, a <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> can monitor thousands of product listings simultaneously across multiple platforms, returning structured data ready for analysis or direct integration into your pricing engine.<\/p>\r\n <p>Price scraping is used across industries \u2014 e-commerce, retail, travel, finance \u2014 wherever pricing is dynamic and competitive positioning matters. The collected data feeds into <strong>competitive price analysis<\/strong>, dynamic repricing engines, and strategic pricing decisions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"why-monitor\">2. Why a price scraping API matters for real-time monitoring<\/h2>\r\n <p>In e-commerce, prices change constantly. A competitor can drop their price by 15% overnight, and without <strong>real-time price monitoring<\/strong>, you won't know until you've already lost the sale. Here's what continuous price tracking gives you:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Competitor price visibility<\/strong> \u2014 see exactly how your prices compare at any given moment across all major platforms<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Dynamic pricing capability<\/strong> \u2014 adjust your prices automatically based on real-time market signals<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Margin protection<\/strong> \u2014 detect undercutting before it impacts your revenue<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Seasonal trend detection<\/strong> \u2014 identify price patterns during peak periods (Black Friday, back-to-school, flash sales)<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Product positioning analysis<\/strong> \u2014 understand where your product sits in the market and refine your pricing strategy accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Stock and availability monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 track out-of-stock events to identify supply gaps and pricing opportunities<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <p>The more frequently you scrape prices, the more accurate your <strong>pricing intelligence<\/strong> \u2014 and the faster you can react to market changes. For highly competitive categories like electronics or fashion, hourly scraping is standard practice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"platforms\">3. Platform-by-platform analysis<\/h2>\r\n <p>Not all e-commerce platforms are equal when it comes to <strong>competitor price scraping<\/strong>. Each has its own pricing dynamics, data structure, and technical challenges. Here's what you need to know about the major platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Amazon<\/h3>\r\n <p>Amazon is the most critical platform for price monitoring. Its algorithmic repricing means prices can change multiple times per day \u2014 sometimes per hour. Key data points to extract include the Buy Box price, third-party seller prices, Prime eligibility, and shipping costs. Amazon's aggressive bot detection makes a reliable <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> essential \u2014 direct scraping without IP rotation and JavaScript rendering will result in immediate blocks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>eBay<\/h3>\r\n <p>eBay combines fixed-price listings with auction formats, making it uniquely valuable for price benchmarking. Fixed-price listings give you a direct competitor price reference, while completed auction data reveals what buyers are actually willing to pay \u2014 a powerful signal for <strong>price positioning analysis<\/strong>. eBay's API is partially open, but category-level and seller-level scraping still requires a dedicated solution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Temu<\/h3>\r\n <p>Temu has disrupted pricing across dozens of categories with ultra-low prices driven by direct-from-manufacturer sourcing. Monitoring Temu prices is now essential for any retailer competing on price \u2014 particularly in categories like home goods, fashion accessories, and electronics peripherals. Temu's frontend is heavily JavaScript-rendered, requiring full browser emulation for reliable extraction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Alibaba & AliExpress<\/h3>\r\n <p>Alibaba and AliExpress are the primary sources for wholesale and retail price benchmarking against Chinese suppliers. Monitoring these platforms helps you track the factory-gate price of goods \u2014 a leading indicator of where retail prices are heading. AliExpress product pages include detailed pricing tiers, shipping options, and seller ratings, all extractable via ScrapingBot's API as structured <strong>JSON product data<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Rakuten<\/h3>\r\n <p>Rakuten is the dominant marketplace in Japan and has significant presence in France and other European markets. For brands operating in these regions, Rakuten price monitoring is essential for maintaining consistent cross-market pricing and detecting grey market activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Brand & retailer websites<\/h3>\r\n <p>Beyond marketplaces, direct competitor websites are often the most valuable source of pricing intelligence. Product pages on brand sites, retailer category pages, and promotional landing pages all contain pricing data that can be scraped continuously to track MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) compliance and promotional activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"scrapingbot\">4. ScrapingBot's price scraping API<\/h2>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot's <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> is designed for developers and data teams who need reliable, scalable access to competitor pricing data.

Key use cases: competitor price intelligence<\/h2>\r\n <p>Once your <strong>competitor price scraping<\/strong> pipeline is running, the data unlocks several high-value applications:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Price positioning analysis<\/strong> \u2014 determine where your product sits in the market (cheapest, mid-range, premium) and adjust your strategy accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Dynamic repricing<\/strong> \u2014 feed scraped prices directly into your repricing engine to stay competitive automatically<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Price history & trend tracking<\/strong> \u2014 store daily price snapshots to detect trends, seasonality, and promotional cycles<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>MAP compliance monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 detect resellers violating Minimum Advertised Price agreements in real time<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Cross-platform benchmarking<\/strong> \u2014 compare your pricing across Amazon, eBay, Temu, and Alibaba simultaneously<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Out-of-stock opportunity detection<\/strong> \u2014 when a competitor goes out of stock, it's the optimal moment to adjust your price upward<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"best-practices\">8. Price Scraping API: best practices<\/h2>\r\n <p>To get the most out of your <strong>price scraping API<\/strong> and maintain reliable, high-quality data, follow these guidelines:<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>Define your product scope precisely<\/strong> \u2014 focus on directly comparable SKUs rather than entire category pages to keep your dataset clean and actionable<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Match scraping frequency to price volatility<\/strong> \u2014 Amazon prices can change hourly; niche retailer sites may only update weekly. Calibrate your scraping cadence accordingly<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Normalize currency and units<\/strong> \u2014 prices across Alibaba, eBay, and Rakuten come in different currencies and formats. Always normalize before comparison<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Validate data quality<\/strong> \u2014 implement checks to detect missing prices, implausible values, or scraping failures before data enters your pipeline<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Respect terms of service<\/strong> \u2014 always check the scraping policies of each platform and operate within legal boundaries<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Store historical data from day one<\/strong> \u2014 retroactive price history cannot be reconstructed. Start collecting and storing timestamps immediately<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"further\">9. Going further: continuous price monitoring<\/h2>\r\n <p>Once your <strong>price scraping<\/strong> pipeline is running continuously, the next step is turning raw data into actionable intelligence. Plug the JSON output into a <a href=\"https:\/\/plotly.com\/python\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plotly<\/a> dashboard to visualize real-time price trends across platforms, or connect it directly to your e-commerce backend for automated repricing. For large-scale deployments, consider a time-series database like InfluxDB or TimescaleDB to efficiently store and query millions of price records over time. ScrapingBot also supports email scraping, real estate data extraction, and social media monitoring with the same unified API interface.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n <p><strong>Ready to monitor competitor prices in real time?<\/strong> Get 500 free API calls when you sign up for ScrapingBot.<\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">Try ScrapingBot for free \u2192<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n.sb-article { max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: inherit; color: inherit; line-height: 1.7; }\r\n.sb-float-right { float: right; margin: 0 0 1rem 1.5rem; max-width: 280px; width: 40%; height: auto; border-radius: 8px; }\r\n.sb-meta { display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; flex-wrap: wrap; }\r\n.sb-tag { background: #e6f1fb; color: #185fa5; font-size: 12px; padding: 4px 12px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-read-time { font-size: 13px; color: #888; }\r\n.sb-intro { font-size: 16px; border-left: 3px solid #378add; padding-left: 1rem; color: #444; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc { background: #f8f8f8; border: 1px solid #e8e8e8; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1rem 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc-title { font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600; color: #666; margin: 0 0 8px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em; }\r\n.sb-toc ol { margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; }\r\n.sb-toc li { font-size: 14px; padding: 3px 0; }\r\n.sb-toc a { color: #185fa5; text-decoration: none; }\r\n.sb-toc a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }\r\n.sb-article h2 { font-size: 22px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2.5rem 0 0.75rem; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article h3 { font-size: 17px; font-weight: 600; margin: 1.5rem 0 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article p { margin: 0 0 1rem; }\r\n.sb-article ul, .sb-article ol { margin: 0 0 1rem; padding-left: 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article li { margin-bottom: 6px; }\r\n.sb-article pre { background: #1e1e1e; color: #d4d4d4; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1.25rem; overflow-x: auto; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article code { font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; }\r\n.sb-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; font-size: 14px; }\r\n.sb-table th { text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; background: #f4f4f4; font-weight: 600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd; }\r\n.sb-table td { padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; }\r\n.sb-table tr:last-child td { border-bottom: none; }\r\n.sb-cta { background: #e6f1fb; border: 1px solid #b5d4f4; border-radius: 10px; padding: 1.5rem; margin: 2.5rem 0 0; text-align: center; }\r\n.sb-cta p { margin: 0 0 1rem; font-size: 15px; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn { display: inline-block; background: #185fa5; color: white; padding: 10px 24px; border-radius: 6px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn:hover { background: #0c447c; }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Web scraping 10 min read \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 Published: 31\/07\/2023Want to monitor competitor prices in real time across Amazon, eBay, Rakuten, Temu, or Alibaba?
