Price movements in a category

price_movements
Read-onlyIdempotent

How a whole category's prices moved between two dates, in one call: the biggest regular-price rises and falls, promotions starting and ending, Tesco Clubcard price changes and pack-size changes, kept apart, with a summary over every product compared (average and median shelf change, counts of rises and falls) overall and per store.

shelf_rise and shelf_fall are changes to the regular price;
promotion_started and promotion_ended are changes in what was paid while
the regular price stayed the same (a product at 18 euro on promotion and 23
euro after is a promotion ending, not a 27.8% price rise); loyalty_change
is a Clubcard price moving; pack_change is the same product in a different
pack size, confirmed over three days of records (a smaller pack at the same
price is a hidden rise). on_promotion_both_dates marks a shelf change in
the label's "was" price while the offer price paid did not move.

Each mover returned costs one credit; the summaries are free.

Args:
    from_date: the earlier date, YYYY-MM-DD (prices recorded since May 2026).

        (e.g. "guinness").
    category: an aisle name to narrow by.
    store: aldi, tesco, supervalu or dunnes; leave out for all four.
