Pricewatcha tools 15
get_api_statusCheck 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.track_productSubmit 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.get_job_statusPoll 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_productGet 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_price_historyGet 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.search_productsSearches 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.create_price_alertCreate 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.list_price_alertsList 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.get_price_alertGet one price alert by alert_id. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys.
