Chemist Warehouse Scraper - Products & Reviews

Scrape products and customer reviews from Chemist Warehouse (chemistwarehouse.com.au), Australia's largest pharmacy retailer. Browse the Promotions (catalogue specials) and Clearance collections, search by keyword, or scrape specific product pages — and get rich product data, was/original price + savings, and every individual customer review.

What you get

For every product (50+ fields):

• Identity - name, canonical title, brand, manufacturer, product type, SKU, product id, page URL, slug
• Pricing & specials - current price, was/RRP price, savings amount, savings percent, on-special flag, promo label (e.g. "Better Than Half Price", "50% Off", "Clearance", "In Catalogue"), discount %, currency
• Availability - in stock, click & collect, fast delivery, international shipping, marketplace
• Pharmacy - prescription type, schedule, mandatory statement, adult-product flag
• Content - description, ingredients, directions, warnings
• Media - main image + full image gallery
• Categories - full category path and category keys
• Ratings - average rating and review count
• Reviews (optional) - every individual review with rating, title, author, body text, date, and helpful-vote counts, plus the star-rating breakdown and true review total
• Extras - dimensions (H/W/D/weight), pack quantity, multipack quantity, product flags, created date, scrape timestamp

Input

Mode

• Search - run one or more keyword queries with optional specials, brand, category, price and in-stock filters, and price sorting.
• URL - provide specific Chemist Warehouse product page URLs, or a specials/category listing URL (e.g. /catalogue, /shop-online/3240/clearance).

Search options

Field	Description
Search keywords	One or more keywords, e.g. panadol, vitamin c. Leave empty to browse the whole catalogue with the filters below.
Specials / offers	Limit to a specials collection: Promotions (current weekly-catalogue offers — ½-price, 50% off, better-than-half-price) or Clearance (reduced-to-clear). Combine with keywords/brand/price to narrow within the specials. Leave as Any for all products.
Brand	Restrict to one brand, e.g. Blackmores (exact spelling).
Category	Restrict to one category, e.g. Vitamins & Supplements (exact spelling).
Minimum / Maximum price (AUD)	Price range in whole dollars.
In-stock only	Exclude out-of-stock products.
Sort	Relevance (default), price low→high, or price high→low.

Specials, was-price & discount

Chemist Warehouse shows a struck-through RRP with a "Save $X" on most product cards (their standard below-RRP pricing). Whenever the current price is below RRP, the Actor fills wasPrice (the RRP), savingsAmount, savingsPercent and sets isOnSpecial: true; when the price equals RRP there is no saving, so those fields are null/false — never fabricated. The curated promotional offers are the Promotions (weekly catalogue) and Clearance collections (the Specials / offers input above), and each product's own catalogue badge is surfaced verbatim in promoLabel.

Reviews

Field	Description
Fetch reviews	Collect individual customer reviews for each product.
Max reviews per product	Cap on reviews per product. Leave empty for all reviews.

Limits

• Max items is the run cap (default 20). Set to 0 for no item limit.
• Max pages limits result pages walked per query. Leave empty (0) for no page limit; the run stops at Max items.

Resume and recurring updates

Two different things:

• Resume from a previous run — paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue one specific interrupted catalogue pull without re-scraping (or re-charging) products already collected there.
• Incremental changes for scheduled runs — turn on for daily/recurring monitoring of the same search. Each product is classified as NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, or EXPIRED against the last run's state (changeType/changedFields/firstSeenAt/lastSeenAt on the record). Off by default; emitUnchanged and emitExpired opt into returning (and billing) those extra rows. State is tracked separately per mode/query/filter/fetch-reviews setup unless you set a State key.

Proxy & plan

Apify Proxy is recommended and enabled by default. The Actor runs on any Apify plan. If results look incomplete, switch the Apify Proxy group in the Proxy input to a higher-reliability option.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: a one-time start charge, a per-product charge, and a per-product reviews-enrichment charge that applies only when Fetch reviews is enabled.
