scraperapi-price-monitoringlisted

Use this skill whenever the user wants to check, track, or be alerted about product prices on Amazon, Walmart, or via Google Shopping. Trigger on: "monitor the price of this Amazon product", "did the price drop on [Walmart URL]?", "track these ASINs", "compare today's prices to last week", "alert me if [product] goes below $X", "what's the current price of [product]?", "check my price watchlist", "scrape the price of [URL]", "is [product] cheaper anywhere else?". Accepts ASINs, Amazon/Walmart product URLs, or free-text product queries for Google Shopping. Reads an optional baseline JSON file to detect changes, fetches live prices via ScraperAPI's structured endpoints, and reports increases, decreases, restocks, and out-of-stock transitions in a structured change report. Use this skill even when the user does not say the word "monitor" — any one-shot or recurring price-check request belongs here.

# Price Monitoring Given a list of products (ASINs, Walmart URLs, or free-text Google Shopping queries) and an optional baseline file, fetch current prices via ScraperAPI's structured endpoints, compare against the baseline, and produce a structured change report. **You — Claude — execute the API calls** using the `Bash` tool. Do not generate a script for the user to run; fetch the data yourself in this turn and report findings as you go. If the user explicitly asks for a CLI/cron-able script instead, point them at `scraperapi-cli` and stop. **Auth:** All transports authenticate against ScraperAPI. The MCP server reads the key from its own configured environment when the user set it up. The curl fallback reads `$SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY` from the shell. Do not run a standalone check for the key — just make the first real request. ScraperAPI returns `401` if the key is missing or invalid, and Phase 3's failure-handling table already covers that case. Adding a pre-flight `echo` only costs the user an extra permission prompt without learning anything you wouldn't learn from the first call. --- ## Phase 1 — Parse the watchlist Before fetching anything, classify each target. Different inputs route to different ScraperAPI endpoints, and routing wrong wastes credits. | Input shape | Endpoint | Required param | |-------------|----------|----------------| | 10-char alphanumeric (e.g., `B08N5WRWNW`) | `structured/amazon/product` | `asin` | | URL containing `amazon.` | `structured/amaz
