Data Works vertical - e-commerce price & catalog monitoring

E-commerce price and catalog data, delivered

We build and run the price and catalog scraper for you - on real dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs, in-country, so the prices are geo-correct and the feed survives the anti-bot stack. You get structured rows at your cadence on a flat monthly retainer. Not a dashboard of 403s.

We prove it before you commit. Send us your single hardest retail target - the one your current tool keeps failing on - and we will return real extracted rows in a paid pilot before you sign a retainer.

Retail sites do not want you to see the real price.

E-commerce price and catalog monitoring has a specific failure mode. Retail sites geo-price by IP, gate mobile-app-only deals, and run DataDome / PerimeterX on their catalog and pricing endpoints. Datacenter scrapers get 403s on arrival. Residential pools get burned and quietly return stale or wrong-geo prices - which is worse than no data, because your repricing and stock decisions are now running on numbers a real shopper never sees.

And cheap per-site vendors quietly let the feed rot: the markup changes, the parser half-works, and nobody notices until the pricing team asks why a competitor's "price" has not moved in three weeks.

What we deliver

The fields a pricing or catalog team actually wants - at your cadence, in your format.

Fields

  • SKU
  • Title
  • Price
  • Was-price
  • Availability
  • Variant
  • Seller
  • Plus the fields you specify at scoping

Shape and delivery

  • At your cadence - you set the schedule, we keep it
  • JSON, CSV, Google Sheet, or webhook
  • Geo-correct prices - because the exit IP is a real carrier IP in-country
  • When the site changes its markup, fixing the parser is our problem, not yours

Why carrier IPs matter for retail data

Geo-pricing trusts two things about the IP it sees: its location and its reputation. A real in-country mobile carrier IP reads as a genuine local shopper - so the price, availability and promo you capture are the ones that shopper would actually see.

The same mechanism is what keeps the feed alive. Anti-bot systems like DataDome and PerimeterX ban on IP reputation before any challenge, and a carrier CGNAT IP is shared with millions of legitimate phone users - it is the one class of IP an anti-bot vendor cannot blocklist wholesale without blocking real customers. The full mechanism is on our anti-bot page.

This is not a "bypass anything" pitch. It is an IP-reputation mechanism, and we prove it works on your specific retail target in the pilot before you commit to anything.

Prove it: the pilot on your hardest retail target

Send us your single hardest retail target - the geo-priced site, the DataDome-protected catalog, the one your current tool keeps failing on. We run a paid pilot and return real extracted rows before you commit to a retainer. If we cannot crack it, you do not proceed.

The pilot typically returns first data within days of scoping, and you talk directly to the principal engineer building it - not an account-manager layer.

Honest scope: what we do not do

Two-tier geo coverage - and the honest limits. Our 500+ owned 4G/5G modems run in ~6 core countries, and our SDK peer network of real devices adds in-country, residential-grade reach across 100+ countries and growing - over 1M IPs in total. So geo-correct pricing in your target markets is very likely covered, and we confirm your exact country list on the scoping call. What we still do not match: the raw IP volume of a Bright Data (72M IPs, 195 countries) or Oxylabs (~20M IPs, ~140 countries), their SOC2 / ISO certifications, or their mature data marketplaces. If your program truly needs those, we will say so.

Public data only. We build pipelines for publicly available catalog and pricing data. We will not scrape behind logins you do not own, and we decline anything requiring account-takeover or ToS-violating authentication. Scope and compliance are confirmed on the scoping call.

Flat monthly retainer. Quoted per project.

Like every Data Works pipeline, e-commerce monitoring runs on a flat monthly retainer, custom-quoted per project on target difficulty, number of sources and volume - no per-record math that explodes when the site fights back.

Rather run your own price monitor? The same dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs are available self-serve from $4/GB (down to $2.40 at volume) -start here.

Proxy pricing verified July 2026. Retainers are custom-quoted per project via the scoping form.

Frequently asked questions

Will the prices be geo-correct?

Yes - that is the point of the architecture. Retail geo-pricing trusts the location and reputation of the IP it sees, and our exit IPs are real in-country IPs on real devices, so the price you get is the price a genuine local shopper sees. Our 500+ owned dedicated 4G/5G modems cover ~6 core countries, and our SDK peer network of real devices adds in-country reach across 100+ countries and growing - so we can very likely get geo-correct pricing in your target markets. We confirm your exact country list on the scoping call.

What fields do you deliver?

SKU, title, price, was-price, availability, variant, seller - and the fields you specify at scoping. Delivered at your cadence as JSON, CSV, Google Sheet or webhook.

Why does my current scraper keep failing on retail sites?

Retail sites geo-price by IP, gate mobile-app-only deals, and run DataDome / PerimeterX on their catalog and pricing endpoints. Datacenter scrapers get 403s, and residential pools get burned and return stale or wrong-geo prices. The block usually happens on IP reputation before any CAPTCHA or fingerprint check.

Can you scrape prices behind a login or a store account?

No. We work with publicly available data only and we will not scrape behind logins you do not own. Scope and compliance are confirmed on the scoping call.

What if you cannot crack my target?

Then you do not proceed. Before you commit to a retainer, we run a paid pilot on your single hardest retail target and show you real extracted rows first.

How fast do I get the first data?

The pilot typically returns real rows within days of scoping - not a multi-week statement-of-work cycle.

Can I just buy the proxies and run my own price monitor?

Absolutely. The same dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs are available self-serve from $4/GB (down to $2.40 at volume) if you would rather run your own scraper.

Three ways to get this data

From running it yourself on our proxies to a fully managed pipeline - honestly compared.

Do it yourself
From $4/GB

Best when: You have engineers and 1-2 easy targets

  • Dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs, self-serve
  • You build, host and maintain the scraper
  • Down to $2.40/GB at volume, GB never expire
Buy proxies from $4/GB
Scraping API
Per-credit

Best when: Light, unprotected pages at low volume

  • You still write the parser and own the breakage
  • Per-record cost climbs fast on protected sites
  • "Success" billing can still charge for blocked 200s
Why APIs get expensive
Data Works (managed)
Custom-quoted flat monthly
For hard sites

Best when: 1-3 hard, defended targets like a retail pricing target

  • A principal engineer builds, runs and repairs it
  • Real carrier IPs; we prove it in a paid pilot first
  • Delivered as clean CSV / JSON / API - breakage is ours
Scope a data project

Point us at your hardest retail target.

We crack it in a paid pilot and show you real, geo-correct rows before you commit to a retainer. If we cannot, you do not proceed.
