Tired of checking competitor prices manually? Too broke for expensive scraping tools? Meet PricePulse ??a dead-simple price monitoring API that works out of the box.
What Is PricePulse?
PricePulse is a REST API that monitors any public-facing price or numeric value you care about. You define a target (product page, commodity, crypto pair, whatever), and PricePulse polls it on a schedule, stores the history, and surfaces changes through a clean dashboard and webhook alerts.
No browser to maintain. No proxies to configure. No ML training. Just results.
Why I Built It
I got tired of:
- Writing scrapers that break after every site redesign
- Paying $200+/month for enterprise monitoring tools when all I needed was a price
- Missing price drops on things I wanted to buy
So I built the thing I wished existed. It's been running in production since early 2026.
Features That Actually Matter
?? Smart Monitoring
- 100 free requests/day ??enough for a side project or personal use
- Desktop notifications via browser push
- Configurable polling intervals
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff
?? Clean Dashboard
- Visual price history charts (time-series)
- Price change alerts at a glance
- Filter, sort, search your monitored items
- Works on mobile too
?? Real-Time Alerts
- Webhook notifications when prices cross your thresholds
- Customizable alert conditions (above, below, percentage change)
- Low latency ??alerts fire within seconds of detection
?? Pricing That Makes Sense
| Plan | Price | Daily Requests | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 | Personal projects, trying it out |
| Starter | $10/mo | 10,000 | Freelancers, small shops |
| Pro | $50/mo | 100,000 | Agencies, production apps |
No hidden fees. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.
Quick Start
Ping a price:
curl -X POST https://pricepulseapi.site/api/monitor \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://example.com/product", "selector": ".price", "threshold": 29.99}'
That's it. The API returns a monitor ID, starts polling immediately, and fires a webhook when your threshold is hit.
Who Is This For?
- E-commerce sellers tracking competitor pricing
- Deal hunters wanting instant price-drop alerts
- Developers who need pricing data for their apps
- Freelancers building price-aware solutions for clients
- Anyone who wants to stop manually refreshing a browser tab
