I’m trying to track auction prices on Goldin, but for some reason it keeps returning 0
I’ve tried modifying the css selector and using Xpath and JS is on with 5s delay load.
@phobreze Thanks for the details.
This behavior is expected on some sites like Goldin. Parts of the page (including prices) are only loaded when the page is visible/active, and when the monitor runs in an inactive background tab, those values may not load at all — which is why you’re seeing 0 even with JS enabled and a delay.
Here are the options that work best for this case:
-
Use the browser extension with “Load page in window” enabled
This forces the page to load in a visible window instead of a background tab, allowing the prices to render correctly.
Note: this can be intrusive since the window will open during checks. -
Use the Desktop app
The desktop app keeps pages fully active and works well for sites that require visibility to load dynamic content. -
Use Cloud monitoring
Cloud monitors don’t rely on browser tab visibility and are often more reliable for heavily dynamic sites like auction platforms.
