**Use case:** 

Gets this week's specials from Woolworths, Aldi and an IGA store near you in one table: shelf price, was price, saving and the deal (half price, multibuy, price cut, Aldi Super Saver), the unit price for comparing pack sizes, and the last day of each IGA special. Change the IGA postcode to your own and raise Maximum results to get every special.

## FAQ

### How long does it take?

About two minutes for this task's 600 rows. 5,115 Woolworths specials took under three minutes.

### What does it cost?

$0.75 per 1,000 rows plus $0.005 a run, with usage and proxies included. This task costs about $0.46. Maximum results caps the cost.

### How do I get every special?

Raise Maximum results. On Nov 5 there were over 5,000 at Woolworths, 1,928 at this IGA store and 7 Aldi Super Savers. Rows are shared evenly, and a supermarket that runs out passes its share on.

### Which IGA store?

The one for the postcode under IGA stores (2000, Sydney, here). Every IGA sets its own prices, so enter your postcode, suburb or store number, or several to compare.

### What do the deal types mean?

HALF_PRICE, MULTIBUY (e.g. 2 for $7), SAVE (a price cut), MEMBER_PRICE (Woolworths Rewards) and SUPER_SAVER (Aldi). promoText is the supermarket's own wording.

### How often should I run it?

Weekly. IGA's specials change on Wednesdays, and specialEnds gives each one's last day. Apify can schedule the task.

### Can I price my own shopping list instead?

Untick Specials only, add search terms, and set Results per search term to 1.

### Why isn't Coles included?

Coles' site refuses automated access, so the Actor leaves it out rather than working around that.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/alduinxx/woolworths-aldi-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
