Watch out for

Competitor sites often block automated requests, so you must rotate user agents and add random delays between calls.
Price formats vary across sites like '$10.99' versus '10,99 EUR', so normalize strings before numerical comparison.
Dynamic JavaScript rendering may hide the price in the initial HTML response, requiring a headless browser solution.
Google Sheets API rate limits can throttle updates, so batch write operations instead of updating row by row.
