Pricing API for Walmart

Howdy, Product Hunt!

Blake from DataSpark here 👋

✏️ We are thrilled to let you know about how you can build your own price tracking app for the Walmart Marketplace, powered by DataSpark. When it comes to eCommerce, Amazon gets all the attention. Yet, Walmart is #2 in size, has over 400M monthly visitors, and for decades has been known as the #1 price leader in retail. Our analysis also shows that they are the price leader in eCommerce, especially in categories like Food, Beauty, Health, and Clothing. Walmart beats Amazon’s pricing 70% of the time within these categories.

Our prediction is that Walmart will see the next big wave of developers rushing to provide solutions for consumers, brands, and sellers ranging from price tracking to keyword research and from market share analysis to channel management. The big advantage is that developers can be inspired by the features and services that are working on the Amazon marketplace and then build it for the Walmart Marketplace. That’s a HUGE advantage! 🚀

With that in mind, we have created everything you need to develop your own price tracking app. Consumers want low prices, particularly Walmart customers, and they want you to make it easy for them to find, track, and purchase items at a great price. We have developed the API’s and everything you need to track prices on over 20 million items on Walmart.com.

As a consumer, I have loved the various price tracking apps on the Amazon side. They help me get exactly what I want at a great price. I am so excited to see these same types of services developed for the Walmart Marketplace.
