On a hyped restock, the window can be seconds. Catching it means polling fast, detecting the change instantly, and routing an alert to wherever you act on it.
Reducing detection latency
Detection latency is the time between a product going live and your system noticing. Lower it with frequent polling and lightweight checks.
- Increase poll frequency on high-priority items
- Check the lightest reliable endpoint
- Run monitors close to the target region
Acting instantly
Detection is only useful if it triggers action immediately — a webhook, a bot, or a notification with everything needed to respond.
- Fire webhooks the moment stock flips
- Include direct links and variant data
- Avoid duplicate alerts with state tracking
