Ultimate Web ScraperSchedule Recurring Extractions for Price Monitoring
Turn any extraction into a scheduled cloud task — from every 10 minutes to monthly — with results flowing into Google Sheets or a webhook automatically.
Price monitoring, content change tracking, fresh lead feeds — recurring jobs shouldn't need your laptop open. Build the extraction once, send it to the Cloud Platform, and it runs on a schedule in cloud browsers with results waiting in your dashboard.
Build and test the extraction locally
Configure the job in the extension — a List Extractor run on a category page, a Page Extractor batch over product URLs — and run it locally until the output looks right. Cloud tasks are created from your local run history, so a working local run is the starting point. List, Page, Email, and Social extractions can run in the cloud.
Open the Run in Cloud wizard
From the side panel's Run in Cloud card (or the cloud button inside a tool), pick the automation you just ran from the list.
Pick a schedule
Choose a preset: run once, every 10 minutes, every 30 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily, every 2 or 3 days, weekly, or monthly. Day-level schedules run at midnight UTC. For price monitoring, hourly to daily is the usual sweet spot. The task also runs immediately on creation, so you get a first result right away.
Wire up where the data goes
In the Integrations section, add one or both:
- Google Sheets — create, replace, or append to a sheet on every run. Append mode builds a growing price history automatically, timestamped run by run.
- Webhook — each run's results are pushed to your endpoint, ready for your own alerting or database.
Both are off by default. You can also tune the proxy location, user agent, data cleanup, and session cloning here.
Submit and monitor
Click Run & Schedule. From then on, watch it in the cloud dashboard: run history with timelines, the resulting data tables (editable, filterable, exportable), and your credit balance.
What it costs
Cloud scheduling requires a paid plan. Each run consumes 1 credit per page extracted — a 50-product price check running daily uses 50 credits a day. See pricing for plans and allowances. Local extension use never touches credits.
🛡️ Blocked pages
Cloud runs come with proxies and anti-blocking built in, and the optional Page Unblocker handles Cloudflare Turnstile challenges automatically (it consumes credits). Other captcha types are detected but fail the page.
Tips for reliable monitoring
- Append, don't replace, in Google Sheets when you want history — replace mode is for "latest snapshot" dashboards.
- Match the schedule to the data. Prices rarely change more than daily; every-10-minutes is better spent on availability or breaking content.
- Keep the data cleanup defaults on — empty and duplicate rows are removed before your data lands in Sheets.
