This week’s updates bring more intelligence to your integrations. Get access to richer pricing insights including trends and historical data, track exactly when items sell to sharpen your market analysis, and stay tuned, a highly requested new API is landing very soon. Whether you’re building smarter storefronts or deeper analytics tools, these updates are worth your attention.
1. Amazon Product API Now Includes Median Price & 30-Day Pricing History
What’s new
When you call the Amazon Product API, you’ll now get two new fields in the response:
Median price — the middle-ground price for that product over time
Last 30 days pricing data — a snapshot of how the price has moved over the past month
Why does this matter?
Before this update, you could only see what a product costs right now. That’s useful, but it doesn’t tell you the full story.
Say you’re building a price tracker or a deal-finder app. With just the current price, you can’t tell if today’s price is a good deal or not. But with 30 days of pricing history and a median, you can immediately see:
- Is this price higher or lower than usual?
- Has the price been dropping steadily, or did it just spike?
- What’s a “normal” price for this product?
This is especially helpful for:
- E-commerce businesses comparing their prices against competitors
- Deal monitoring tools that alert users when a price drops below average
• Analytics dashboards that show pricing trends over time
How to use it
No changes needed on your end. Just make your regular Amazon Product API call — the new fields media prices and 30 days of price history will show up automatically in the response.
2. eBay Search API Now Shows Item Sold Date
What’s new
The eBay Search API now returns the date an item was sold alongside the existing search results.
Why does this matter?
If you’re working with eBay data, knowing what sold is only half the picture. Knowing when it sold is what makes the data truly useful.
Here’s a simple example: You’re researching the resale value of a vintage camera. You find 50 completed listings. But were those sales from last week, or from 8 months ago? The market could look totally different today.
With sold dates, you can now:
- Filter for recency — only look at sales from the past 30, 60, or 90 days
- Track demand patterns — do certain items sell faster in specific seasons?
- Build accurate pricing tools — weight recent sales more heavily than older ones
• Spot trending products — if sold dates are clustering recently, something is picking up momentum
How to use it
The sold dates field will now appear automatically in your search results for completed/sold listings. No extra parameters needed.
3. Google Play Store API — Coming Soon
What’s happening
We’re building a Google Play Store API, and it’s launching soon.
Why are we building this?
Simple, you asked for it. A lot of our customers are working on app intelligence tools, competitive research, and mobile market analytics. Right now, getting structured data from the Play Store means dealing with messy scraping setups or third-party tools that aren’t reliable. We’re changing that.
What will it do?
The Google Play Store API will give you clean, structured access to app store data and things like app details, ratings, reviews, category rankings, and more. Whether you’re tracking competitors, monitoring your own app’s presence, or building a market intelligence product, this API will make it significantly easier.
When?
We don’t have a launch date to share just yet, but it’s in active development. Keep an eye on your inbox, we’ll send an announcement as soon as it’s live.
That’s a wrap for this week!
Three meaningful updates: richer pricing data on Amazon, sold date context on eBay, and a brand-new API on the horizon.
