The Google Shopping scraper returns clean JSON: product title, merchant, price, star rating, review count, and product ID for every listing, or the same rows as CSV. One credit per successful search, however many products come back, and empty searches are free.
The same products as the one-click CSV view, so they drop straight into Sheets or a database:
Add gl and hl for country and language, and page with page for more products. This one query returned 41 listings.
Every product comes complete, so you build a price sheet or a catalog with no second call. The same record as CSV, ready for Sheets or a database:
Or the same record as JSON:
The condition field flags used listings when Google marks them, so a result like a pre-owned pair of AirPods Pro comes back tagged "Pre-owned" instead of blank.
Both return Google Shopping as JSON. The difference is what each result carries and how you pay for it.

Prepaid packs, and credits never expire: 25k for $49 · 100k for $149 · 500k for $549 · 2.5M for $1,999 · up to 250M, all self-serve, ex-tax. One credit per successful search, however many products come back, and a search that returns none costs nothing.
Each listing carries the current price, the merchant selling it, the star rating, and the number of reviews behind that rating. In the wireless earbuds pull above that meant a 4.3 from 3,800 reviews on the top result and a 4.5 from 1,700 on the Pixel Buds Pro 2, so a price comparison or a product tracker is built from the first response, not stitched together from many.

When a licensed product feed is the better pick: you need guaranteed real-time stock levels, a direct merchant catalog with SKUs, or a contract that covers redistribution of a retailer's full inventory. Google Shopping gives you the public listing: title, merchant, price, rating, and review count, which is what most price research, market tracking, and product monitoring needs, but it is not a licensed retailer feed.
