The problem it solves

You want to keep an eye on product pricing and availability on Walmart, but manually searching and copying listings into a spreadsheet is tedious and easy to fall behind on. By the time you check again, prices have already moved.

Who it fits

Good for e-commerce operators, market analysts, or growth teams tracking product pricing and assortment.

How it works

  1. Every 4 hours the system searches Walmart for your chosen keyword
  2. It fetches the search results page, rendering it like a real browser would
  3. Product details like title, price, rating, reviews, and image are pulled out and cleaned
  4. Rows with missing or invalid prices are dropped
  5. Clean rows are added to Google Sheets, and a summary can be posted to Slack
What you get

What you need

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
