Import Hundreds of Products via CSV

Bulk Price Import via CSV

Bulk price import lets you onboard hundreds or thousands of products in a single operation. Instead of adding trackers one at a time, you prepare a CSV file with your product URLs, names, and optional settings, then upload it to GoScreenAPI. The system validates each row, maps your columns to the required fields, and creates trackers in batch — turning what would be hours of manual setup into a task that takes minutes.

How It Works

Prepare a CSV file with at minimum a column for the product URL. Optional columns include product name, CSS selector, check interval, alert threshold, and tags for organization. Upload the file through the dashboard, and the import wizard presents a column mapping interface where you match your headers to the system's expected fields. Once confirmed, the system validates every URL for format and reachability, flags any issues, and creates trackers for all valid rows.

After import, each tracker begins monitoring on its assigned schedule. You can review import results in a summary report that shows how many trackers were created, how many were skipped due to errors, and what those errors were. Failed rows can be corrected and re-uploaded without duplicating existing trackers.

Bulk import pairs naturally with automated price monitoring — once your products are imported, they immediately begin collecting price data on autopilot.

Use Cases

• Catalog onboarding — E-commerce managers import their full product catalog to start tracking all prices from day one.
• Competitor lists — Import a spreadsheet of competitor product URLs gathered during market research.
• Agency workflows — Agencies managing pricing for multiple clients import each client's product list as a separate batch.
• Seasonal expansion — Quickly add seasonal or promotional products to your tracking list before peak shopping periods.
• Migration — Move product lists from another tracking tool by exporting to CSV and importing here.

Key Benefits

Manual tracker creation doesn't scale. When you need to monitor dozens of competitors across hundreds of SKUs, CSV import is the only practical approach.

1. Speed — import 500 products in under two minutes.
2. Validation — the system checks URLs, detects duplicates, and flags formatting issues before creating trackers.
3. Flexibility — map any CSV structure to the required fields with the visual column mapper.
4. Error recovery — download a report of failed rows, fix them, and re-import without duplicates.
5. Tagging — assign tags during import to keep large product sets organized from the start.

Once your products are imported, organize them into groups for competitor price tracking or connect them to external systems through the REST API for fully automated workflows.
