When you want to set up dynamic pricing, PriceShape delivers the new prices for products with endpoints containing the attribute <new_price>
The endpoints can be found under settings page of your PriceShape account, clicking your name in the top right corner inside PriceShape and then in the drop-down called 'API links'
The endpoints have the following format:
https://app.priceshape.dk/api/FORMAT/products?auth-token=TOKEN
Issuing a GET request to the given endpoints, will return the requested data in either JSON, XML or CSV. The different endpoints contains the following
Call: Contains all products that have competitors data - when no products have competitor data the endpoint will give a 404 error
Call with new prices: Contains all products that have a new price - when no products have a new price the endpoint will give a 404 error
Call with manual prices: Only contains products that have manually set new price - when no products have a manually set new price the endpoint will give a 404 error

NOTE: The response might not look 100% like the above response, if some of the attributes is missing for the account or extra is added. All attributes after <priceshapeScraper> contains all unmapped attributes that PriceShape receives.
The attribute <new_price> will contain the new price for the product, when PriceShape registers that the product price = new price, the products will be removed from the response.
You now have the newest recommended price for your product.
