Fields

Field	Type	Meaning
product_id	string	Stable join key; also the key to the offer dataset.
gtin	string	GS1 global identifier, normalised and checksum-verified. Null when the stored value is not a valid GTIN.
brand	string	Shown on the public product page; needed for entity resolution.
category	string	Our own taxonomy slug, computed in-house.
currency	string	Listing currency of the cheapest real offer, and the currency of price_snapshot. The only geographic signal available: the catalogue does not record an offer country.
seller_count	integer	Independent sellers carrying the product; our own measurement of competition.
product_url	string	Canonical human-readable product page.
best_offer_url	string	Outbound link to the merchant through the Pricelists redirect. Raw affiliate URLs are never published.
live_data_url	string	Current machine-readable data for this product; distinguishes the snapshot from the live state.
updated_at	string	Lets a consumer judge the age of the record instead of assuming it is fresh.
name	string	Product name as supplied by the merchant feed. Redistribution rights for merchant-supplied text are the publisher's responsibility to verify.
mpn	string	Manufacturer part number, public by nature. Stored internally as an "MPN|Brand" composite and split here.
offer_count	integer	Number of real offers; our own measurement, visible on the product page.
price_snapshot	double	Price of the cheapest real offer, in its own listing currency (see the currency field). Not converted to a common currency. A point-in-time observation, not a current price.
price_observed_at	string	When that price was last confirmed by the merchant. Essential: measured 2026-09-21, only 1.4% of offers had been refreshed within 48 hours and 8.1% within 30 days.

Snapshot vs live data

Prices in this dataset are point-in-time observations, not current prices. Every record carries the timestamp of its observation; a large share of the catalogue was last confirmed more than a month ago. Treat the snapshot as historical evidence, never as today's price.

For current prices and availability use the live interfaces:

• REST: https://pricelists.org/api/v1/products/{id}
• MCP: https://pricelists.org/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, spec 2025-06-18)
• OpenAPI: https://pricelists.org/.well-known/openapi.json

Which URL is which

• product_url — human-readable product page
• best_offer_url / offer_url — outbound link to the merchant through Pricelists.org
• live_data_url — current machine-readable data for that product

Outbound links always resolve through pricelists.org/{lang}/offer/redirect/{id}. Raw affiliate URLs are never published. When an offer disappears the redirect degrades to the product page rather than sending you to an unrelated merchant.

Partitioning

Files are partitioned by listing currency, not by country. The catalogue does not record an offer country, so any country split would be guesswork presented as fact.

Use cases

• product matching and entity resolution
• e-commerce and pricing research
• shopping agents and assistants
• product search and recommendation
• knowledge graphs
• ML training and evaluation
