External Services
This plugin relies on external/third-party services to obtain competitor information and/or facilitate scraping. Specifically:
ScraperAPI
– What is it used for?
This service renders competitor pages or product URLs, allowing the plugin to scrape product titles and prices.
– What data is sent?
When a scraping event (such as an update or “Test Selector”) occurs, the plugin sends the competitor product URL to ScraperAPI’s endpoint.
– When is data sent?
Data is transmitted whenever you manually trigger a “test” (e.g., in the plugin’s admin UI) or when the scheduled pricing update runs in the background to fetch competitor pages.
