Historical Price Data — Understand Where Prices Have Been to Know Where They Are Going
Access up to 12 months of historical pricing data for any product across 16 countries. Three chart views, weekly breakdowns, and CSV export — all accessible via deep-link or API.
Sound familiar?
Without historical data, you cannot distinguish a temporary price drop from a permanent repositioning.
Seasonal pricing patterns are invisible unless you have been tracking prices for months or years.
Repricing strategies cannot be backtested without access to historical competitor pricing.
Price negotiations with suppliers lack leverage when you cannot show long-term market trends.
Competitor analysis based on a single snapshot misses the bigger strategic picture.

API Access to Historical Data

Why Historical Data Beats Real-Time Snapshots
A real-time price check tells you where the market is right now. Historical data tells you where it has been, how it got there, and where it is likely to go next. With 12 months of pricing history, you can identify the competitors who discount aggressively during sales events, the brands that gradually increase prices quarter over quarter, and the sellers who consistently undercut MAP.
- Predict competitor behavior based on historical patterns
- Time your promotions to coincide with (or avoid) competitor sales
- Validate pricing strategies with data instead of assumptions

Backtesting for Smarter Repricing
Before deploying a new repricing strategy, you want to know how it would have performed in the past. ShoppingScraper's historical data lets you simulate different pricing rules against actual market conditions from the last 12 months. This reduces risk and increases confidence in automated pricing decisions.
- Simulate rule-based repricing against historical competitor prices
- Compare projected margin and revenue under different strategies
- Identify edge cases where aggressive rules would have caused losses

- Demonstrate competitive pressure with multi-seller pricing data
- Track promotion frequency and depth across the distribution channel

Frequently Asked Questions
How far back does the price history go?+
ShoppingScraper retains up to 12 months of historical pricing data from the moment you start monitoring a product. The retention period depends on your plan.
Can I access historical data via the API?+
Yes. The REST API supports date-range queries that return all recorded price points for a product, including timestamp, price, seller, and availability status.
How granular is the data?+
Granularity depends on your monitoring frequency. If you check 4x daily, you get four data points per day. If daily, you get daily snapshots. Every price change event is captured.
Can I compare prices across sellers over time?+
Yes. The dashboard lets you overlay multiple sellers on a single chart, and the API returns data grouped by seller for easy comparison.
What export formats are available?+
CSV download, Google Sheets sync, and JSON via the REST API. All formats include the full timestamp, price, currency, seller, and availability per data point.
Does historical data count against my API quota?+
Historical data queries use your regular API credits. Each query for a product's history counts as one lookup regardless of the number of data points returned.
Can I use historical data for price prediction?+
While ShoppingScraper does not offer built-in prediction models, you can export the historical data and feed it into your own machine learning or forecasting tools.
