Price monitoring is collecting competitor and marketplace prices the way a local shopper would see them, on a schedule, without the store showing you a blocked page or a geo-inflated number. Retail sites fingerprint datacenter ranges and vary price by IP location. Aethyn Premium rotating residential IPs are the usual fit: one IP per product URL, country targeting, per-byte billing that does not expire between crawls. Switch to Elite when the retailer sits behind PerimeterX, Akamai, or a city-specific catalog. This page is the commercial job — MAP checks, buy-box watch, flash-sale detection — not the scraper architecture. When you are ready to wire retries and parsers, use the price-intelligence solution guide.
