Turn marketplace pages into explainable change events
An alert is useful only when the previous and current observations were collected under comparable conditions.
🎯
Define entity
Identify marketplace, listing, seller, market, currency, and the fields that should trigger a change event.
🌍
Observe market
Use a market-aligned route and store the requested and observed location with the response.
🧩
Normalize offer
Separate seller, item price, shipping, promotion, stock message, and delivery estimate into distinct fields.
🔎
Compare evidence
Compare accepted records and retain the source URL, timestamp, and compact artifact for both sides.
🔔
Publish alert
Emit an alert only after validation and attach the fields and evidence that changed.
Listing order, buy-box position, and stock can change rapidly; alerts describe an observation, not a permanent market state.

Marketplace monitoring FAQ
How is a seller change separated from a price change?
Store seller identity, item price, shipping charge, promotion, and fulfillment information as separate fields. Compare normalized fields rather than one rendered price string.
Does the buy box always represent the lowest offer?
No. Marketplace ranking may include delivery, seller history, membership, location, and other rules. Record the visible seller and offer rather than assuming the ranking formula.
When is a sticky session needed?
Use a short sticky session when delivery or cart state spans multiple pages. Independent listing snapshots should generally use separate rotating observations.
How are false alerts reduced?
Require expected page markers, validate seller and currency, classify challenge pages, and confirm a material field change before publishing an alert.
