Woolworths Scraper - Prices, Specials, Barcodes & Nutrition

What does Woolworths Scraper do?

Woolworths Scraper pulls product data from woolworths.com.au, the online store of Woolworths Supermarkets in Australia. Give it search terms, Woolworths links, specials groups, stockcodes or barcodes and it returns one row per product: price, was price, unit (cup) price, special and multi-buy deal, stock, barcode, category path, ingredients, allergens, nutrition and customer rating. Brands, category managers, price-comparison apps, nutrition apps and analysts use it to track Australian grocery prices week after week.

Also known as: Woolworths API, Woolies price scraper, Woolworths specials scraper, Australian grocery price scraper.

• 🔎 Every way in: keyword search, any category / aisle / specials / search / multi-buy offer link, whole departments, the full catalogue, stockcodes and exact barcodes, all in one run
• 🏷️ Specials as data: Half Price, Lower Shelf Price, Everyday Low Price, Seasonal, Buy More Save More and Online Only groups, with was price, saving, % off and the multi-buy deal ("2 for $8.00")
• 🥫 Product facts on every row: barcode, ingredients, allergens, dietary claims, Health Star Rating and nutrition per 100 g and per serve, plus ratings with the 1-5 star breakdown
• ➕ Add-ons: the product page's nutrition panel, country-of-origin label and aisle; customer reviews; in-store availability at the stores nearest a postcode; the Woolworths store directory; the category tree
• 🔁 Price monitor: on a schedule it delivers only new products and price, special or availability changes, with the previous price
• 🔓 No login, no cookies, no API key, no browser: it reads the same public pages any visitor opens
• 📤 Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or feed Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, webhooks and AI agents through the API and MCP

Paste the link of the aisle you want

Category links are the most precise source. Open the aisle on woolworths.com.au (for example Dairy, Eggs & Fridge > Milk) and paste https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/browse/dairy-eggs-fridge/milk. A sort order or the "specials only" switch in the link is kept. Turn on categoryTree once to get every category link Woolworths has.

Use specials groups for the weekly catalogue

Woolworths starts a new specials week every Wednesday. Pick Half Price or all in specials and schedule the run for Wednesday morning to capture each week's deals with their was price and saving.

Barcodes are exact

A barcode returns only the product that carries exactly that barcode. A barcode Woolworths does not sell online is listed under notFound in the run summary and is not charged.

Limits & empty runs

• Prices are Woolworths' default online prices (store 1101, priceScope: "online"). Woolworths shows a chosen store's prices only to a signed-in shopper, and this actor never signs in; per-store availability is delivered with postcodes or store numbers.
• Woolworths returns at most 36 tiles per page; the actor pages through every page a search or category has.
• Directions for use, product videos, variant lists and member prices are not columns: Woolworths' public data carried none of them in 1,600+ products read on 2026-10-28.
• Everyday Market (third-party sellers) is left out unless includeEverydayMarket is on.
• A run that finds nothing ends with a message that says why (no results, every product filtered, nothing new in monitor mode) and charges nothing. The run summary (RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store) lists each source, its count and any input that was not found.

Does Woolworths Scraper get prices for my local store?

It returns Woolworths' online prices, which is what a visitor sees before signing in. For a store, it tells you whether each product is on the shelf there (inStoreAvailability with postcodes or storeIds).

Is this an official Woolworths API?

No. It is unofficial and not affiliated with Woolworths.

Why did my Woolworths Scraper run return no results?
