Direct answer

How do you extract and compare prices from multiple online stores?

Provide product URLs in detailsUrls or category pages in listingUrls, use AUTO and set a limit. Use details for price, availability and attributes; use cheaper listing extraction first to discover many products.

Normalize currency, taxes, variants, availability and collection time before comparing two stores.

FAQ

Before you scale

Does it work with every store?

It supports multiple marketplaces and websites, but coverage and fields depend on each source.

Why are listings cheaper?

They return summarized information; details require processing each product page.

Does price include shipping and tax?

Not always. Retain seller, location, variant and conditions to avoid false comparisons.
