Pricewatcha tools (15, 5 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscreate_price_alertwrite actionFreeCreate a price alert for a product. Use notify_on_drop / notify_on_rise for any price change without a numeric threshold, and/or min_threshold_price / max_threshold_price for target prices. At least one of those four settings is required. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
delete_price_alertwrite actionFreeDelete a price alert. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_api_statusFreeCheck whether the Pricewatcha public API is available. Returns health and discovery metadata. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_job_statusFreePoll an async tracking job by job_id. Returns status (queued, running, completed, or failed). On completion, product is populated; on scrape failure, error is populated (HTTP 200 job lookup — not a transport error). On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_price_alertFreeGet one price alert by alert_id. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_price_historyFreeGet historical prices, aggregates (low/high/average), trend, and data points for a product. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_productFreeGet structured product price intelligence by product_id (e.g. demo_iphone_15_pro or prod_xxx from a completed job). On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
get_watch_statusFreeCheck whether your account watches a product for continuous updates. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
list_price_alertsFreeList your price alerts. Optionally filter by product_id. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
list_watchlistFreeList products your account watches for continuous price updates. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
search_productsFreeSearches the Pricewatcha product catalog by keyword (token AND; word order does not matter). Supports minus-prefixed exclude terms: e.g. "iPhone 15 -cover -case" returns devices only. Returns product-level data only — not user accounts or alert settings. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
track_productwrite actionFreeSubmit a public product URL for price tracking. Waits up to ~25s server-side; fast shops return status "completed" with product in one call. Slow jobs return status "running" with job_id — poll get_job_status. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
unwatch_productwrite actionFreeRemove a product from your account watchlist. Fails while an active price alert exists for the product. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
update_price_alertwrite actionFreeUpdate a price alert. You can switch to threshold-free notify_on_drop / notify_on_rise, change thresholds, or toggle is_active. At least one setting must remain. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
watch_productFreeAdd a catalog product to your account watchlist so the price scheduler keeps updating it. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.

Pricewatcha API
The Pricewatcha API is the Structured Product Price Intelligence Platform for developers, automation and AI Agents.
The Pricewatcha API derives from the pricewatcha.com application. It provides price tracking, alerts and product intelligence beyond the Pricewatcha dashboard. This repository documents the public HTTP API, OpenAPI schema, official SDKs, MCP server and examples. It does not contain the production web application or scrapers.
Status: Available · Version: v1 · Base URL: https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1
Interactive API keys (browser): Profile & API Keys
Optional: verify connectivity with GET https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/health. Then pick one of the three paths below.
Quickstart
Path 1: Browse prices (no auth)
Use demo product IDs from the demo catalog or search the catalog:
curl -s "https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/products/demo_iphone_15_pro"
curl -s "https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/search?q=iphone+15&limit=10"Search is case-insensitive token AND (all terms must appear; word order does not matter). Results include the full Pricewatcha catalog, not only URLs submitted via POST /track. Use productid from search for product and price-history endpoints (prod or demo_*).
Path 2: Track a product and get price history
curl -s -X POST "https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/track" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://www.backmarket.de/de-de/p/example-product"}'
curl -s "https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/products/{productId}/price-history"POST /track returns HTTP 200 with a bounded server-side long-poll (~25s). Use productid from the response for price history. Optional: send Authorization: Bearer pwklive_… for higher track, search and product-read quotas.
Fast shops return status: "completed" with the full product in one call. Slow shops return status: "running" with a job_id. Poll GET https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/jobs/{jobId} until the job is completed or failed. More detail: Async track & poll.
Path 3: Price alert with webhook (API key required)
Create a key in Profile & API Keys, then:
curl -s -X POST "https://pricewatcha.com/api/v1/alerts" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pwk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"product_id": "prod_a1b2c3d4e5",
"notify_on_drop": true,
"min_threshold_price": 500.00,
"webhook_url": "https://your-n8n-instance.com/webhook/abc",
"notify_email": true
}'For authentication and data boundaries, see Authentication and Data boundaries.
Authentication
No credential required for catalog search, product detail, price history and async track/poll. Without a key those endpoints use anonymous rate limits. Send an API key to use the higher per-account track, search and product-read quotas.
Protected API v1 endpoints (alerts, webhooks, authenticated track callbacks) use:
Authorization: Bearer pwk_live_…Do not use the login session token for alerts, webhooks or other API v1 calls once you have an API key.
See Access model for which routes are public vs authenticated.
