{
  "searchQueries": [
    "sony headphones"
  ],
  "categoryUrls": [],
  "productUrls": [],
  "skuIds": [],
  "maxResults": 3,
  "maxPages": 50,

}

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "sony headphones"
    ],
    "categoryUrls": [],
    "productUrls": [],
    "skuIds": [],
    "maxResults": 3,
    "maxPages": 50,
    "sortBy": "Best-Match",
    "condition": "all",
    "minPrice": 0,
    "maxPrice": 0,
    "inStockOnly": False,
    "includeDetails": False
}

run = client.actor("dataspryva/best-buy-price-drop-and-stock-tracker").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "sony headphones"
    ],
    "categoryUrls": [],
    "productUrls": [],
    "skuIds": [],
    "maxResults": 3,
    "maxPages": 50,
    "sortBy": "Best-Match",
    "condition": "all",
    "minPrice": 0,
    "maxPrice": 0,
    "inStockOnly": false,
    "includeDetails": false
};

const run = await client.actor("dataspryva/best-buy-price-drop-and-stock-tracker").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/dataspryva~best-buy-price-drop-and-stock-tracker/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"searchQueries":["sony headphones"],"categoryUrls":[],"productUrls":[],"skuIds":[],"maxResults":3,"maxPages":50,"sortBy":"Best-Match","condition":"all","minPrice":0,"maxPrice":0,"inStockOnly":false,"includeDetails":false}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=dataspryva/best-buy-price-drop-and-stock-tracker",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Cost of Best Buy Price Drop & Stock Tracker results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
