Looking for a tool to scrape Ecommerce website prices

[Iceman10]

Anyone know of a tool that I can use to scrape a website for product prices and save them in google sheets?

Ideally scraping from 4 or 5 website for multiple products and automated to update once per day.

Thanks.

A friend of mine is using PriSync for something similar - it's paid but offers good functionality and scales pretty well.

Thanks look interesting, but can't justify the price at the moment. As it is for a project I am just dipping my toes in for the time being.

Ideally looking a cheaper or free solution.

Google Sheets ImportXML function + XPath Helper Chrome plugin. Use the Xpath plugin to grab the price on the page, note this can be tricky if the site has varying product page types. Make a column of the urls you want to track, then use the ImportXML function to match your Xpath.

Whoops, did not notice that (replied on my phone yesterday)
Sorry for that.

The google docs solution looks pretty handy.
