Hello fellow self-hosters! I am looking for an app/tool/macro/etc that can screen-scrape or API ping various merchants to track prices on specific products. Think camelcamelcamel but for any merchant. I have to believe such a tool exists and I’m not the first person to think of it.

In an ideal world, I’d like it to be able to dump the data into a spreadsheet so that I can track/graph it. But that’s not a requirement.

Does such a tool exist?

Thanks!

    A tool that can track price changes on any website automatically is difficult since there isn’t a standard way that prices are presented on a website. As has already been said, changedetection is your best bet
