ALDI AU Product & Price Scraper | Prices, Unit Prices, Special Buys, Allergens (2026)

A recorded category-and-SKU run returned 4 detailed product rows in 14 seconds on 14 October 2026 (build 1.0.26, run VKBnSw3TjPNQ98HM9). This bounded sample is not a full-catalogue benchmark; optional fields depend on ALDI’s source data.

Search ALDI Australia by keyword, category or SKU for prices, unit prices and published product information.

From Architekture, makers of the Woolworths AU, Coles AU and Woolworths NZ scrapers — structured grocery data for cross-retailer workflows; field names differ between actors.

🤖 Built for AI workflows. Every row is deterministic, schema-stable JSON — feed it straight to LLM apps, RAG pipelines, or agent tool calls via the Apify API, the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com), or AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor.

Why choose this actor?

• 📊 ALDI's public API, no browser, no residential proxies. Uses HTTP requests to ALDI's product API with configurable proxies. Runtime and availability depend on the requested products and upstream responses.
• 💸 Every price ALDI publishes. price, wasPrice, savingsDisplay, comparisonPrice + comparisonDisplay (unit price), bottleDeposit, and the isOnSpecial flag derived from them.
• 🗂️ Special Buys, with dates. onSaleDate / onSaleDateDisplay when present on a product, plus discontinued, notForSale and notForSaleReason, so a Wednesday/Saturday catalogue run is one scheduled job.
• 💸 Optional store context. servicePoint is forwarded to ALDI’s API. Store-specific price and availability coverage has not been validated; it is not a stock-quantity lookup.
• 🔬 Details when you need them. includeDetails: true adds ingredients, allergens, countryOfOrigin, storageInstructions, usageInstructions, warnings, nutritionalClaims, description and variants when ALDI provides them. Missing fields may be null or empty. SKU lookups request the detail endpoint.
• 🔬 Browse every top-level category. categoryUrls: ["all"] walks every top-level category; available detail fields depend on the upstream record. Completion is subject to your run limits and ALDI’s responses.

⚠️ Worth knowing up front

• To continue a collection, copy RESUME_STATE from the previous run’s Storage into resumeState. It skips saved SKUs while scanning the current catalogue again; it is not a frozen snapshot. Leave it empty when monitoring fresh prices. A timeout or budget stop is not a complete catalogue.

• 🔬 ALDI publishes no barcodes (GTIN/EAN) on its product data, in the source used by this Actor. Match ALDI to Coles or Woolworths on normalised name + sellingSize instead.

• 🥗 ALDI publishes no per-100 g nutrition table via its API — only nutritionalClaims (e.g. "Source of fibre"). The row says so rather than guessing.

• ALDI does not publish stock quantities. notForSale / discontinued and the Special Buys dates are the availability signals.

• Without servicePoint, product requests read the default catalogue response. Category navigation alone uses G452, which ALDI requires for its category tree. Neither establishes prices or stock at every store.

⚡ Try the example

Each Apify account gets 20 lifetime free preview attempts for this Actor: one search term, one page and up to ten basic product rows per attempt. No product events are charged for a preview. Failed attempts count toward the allowance. After the twentieth attempt, preview runs stop with a clear message; they never switch to paid collection automatically.

Open the Actor's input page, switch to JSON and paste this, then start the run:

{
  "preview": true,
  "searchTerms": ["milk"],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 10
}

For paid collection, set "preview": false. Then add "includeDetails": true for ingredients and allergens, or use category slugs exactly as returned by ALDI’s category tree. Multiple search terms, category URLs or SKUs may be combined; results are de-duplicated by SKU across all of them.

⚙️ Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
preview	boolean	20 lifetime free attempts per account. One keyword and at most ten basic rows per attempt; no details, categories, SKUs or continuation. Default false.
resumeState	object	Optional RESUME_STATE checkpoint from a previous run. Keeps prior delivered SKUs out of the new dataset. See continuation recipe below.
feedback	string	Optional note logged for maintainer review; does not change output.
searchTerms	array	Keywords, e.g. "milk", "coffee pods". One result set per term.
categoryUrls	array	ALDI category pages, e.g. https://www.aldi.com.au/products/dairy-eggs-fridge/milk or an exact category-tree slug. Unknown or ambiguous categories fail before product collection. Modern /products/.../k/<key> URLs and numeric category keys are accepted only when the key exists in ALDI’s category tree. "all" walks every top-level category.
skus	array	SKUs (000000000000399309, or the short numeric form) or product page URLs. Always returns full details.
maxItemsPerQuery	integer	Cap per term or category. 0 = no cap. Default 100.
includeDetails	boolean	Fetch ingredients, allergens, storage, warnings, nutritional claims and description for every result (one extra request per product, charged as product-detail).
sort	select	relevance, price_asc, price_desc, name_asc, name_desc.
servicePoint	string	ALDI store service point code (e.g. G452) forwarded to the upstream API. Store-specific coverage is unverified. Empty = default catalogue response.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Configurable proxy. The retained search run used Apify proxy; future accessibility can change.

🧱 Stable fields for automations

These top-level fields keep the same name and the same kind of value in every release, so an n8n, Make, Zapier or spreadsheet pipeline can bind to them and stay bound:

Field	What it is
sku	ALDI product SKU (string, 18 digits)
name	Product name
brand	Brand name
sellingSize / quantityUnit	Pack size and unit, e.g. "2L" / "ea"
price	Current price, AUD, float
priceDisplay	Price as displayed, e.g. "$2.89"
wasPrice	Pre-discount price when on special, else null
savingsDisplay	Savings string when on special, e.g. "Save $1.00"
isOnSpecial	true when wasPrice > price or a saving is shown
comparisonPrice / comparisonDisplay	Unit price and its display string, e.g. 1.45 / "$1.45 per litre"
onSaleDate / onSaleDateDisplay	Special Buys on-sale date (ISO and display)
notForSale / discontinued	Availability flags
category / categoryPath / categorySlug	Leaf category, full path, URL slug
image	Product image URL (800 px)
url	Canonical product page
source	search / category / sku plus the term or category that produced the row

Other fields are derived from or selected from ALDI responses (abstractSku, badges, bottleDeposit, ageRestriction, notForSaleReason…). Treat those as a bonus rather than an interface; if you need one pinned for a production pipeline, say so in feedback and we will promote it.

With successful includeDetails: true, additional fields may include description, ingredients, allergens, countryOfOrigin, storageInstructions, usageInstructions, warnings, nutritionalClaims, additionalInformation and variants.

🧠 Advanced usage

Special Buys calendar. Schedule categoryUrls: ["all"] on Wednesday and Saturday mornings and filter onSaleDate in your pipeline — ALDI's catalogue cycle lands as structured rows instead of a PDF.

Cross-retailer comparison. Run this actor with the Woolworths AU and Coles AU scrapers on the same terms. Map each Actor’s barcode fields explicitly where available. For ALDI, normalised name and size provide candidate matches, not guaranteed product equivalence.

Price monitoring. Daily run on a category, diff price / wasPrice by sku. isOnSpecial flips are your alert trigger.

Allergen datasets. Category URL + includeDetails: true requests published allergens and ingredients. Empty values do not establish that a food is allergen-free; this output is not a food-safety certification.

Continue a bounded run. Open the previous run’s Storage, copy the JSON value of RESUME_STATE into resumeState, and retain the same queries, detail setting, sort and store. You may increase maxItemsPerQuery; 0 removes that per-query cap. Saved SKUs are skipped before detail requests and billing. Each run has a separate dataset: combine the datasets and deduplicate by sku. Checkpoints are saved after each delivered batch. An abrupt stop between the dataset write and checkpoint save can leave a small overlap; this is not an exactly-once guarantee. A changed catalogue can add or remove products between runs.

🔌 Integrations

Results land in a dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pipe onward: Google Sheets for a shared price list that refreshes on a schedule, Make / Zapier for alerts, webhooks to trigger your own pipeline when a run finishes, and the Apify Scheduler for recurring monitoring. Twice weekly matches ALDI's catalogue cycle; daily for price tracking.

💸 How much does it cost?

1,000 products ≈ $1.50; with ingredients/allergens detail $4.00 / 1,000. Failed requests and misses are free. Platform usage is included.

Pricing: pay per event

You pay per result, not per minute. Platform and proxy usage is included. Nothing is charged for failed requests. If optional detail retrieval fails but a usable listing is available, that row is returned at the basic product rate with detailStatus: "unavailable". Successful detail retrieval uses product-detail; it does not guarantee every optional field is populated.

Event	Price	What it covers
Free preview	$0	First 20 preview attempts per account, one page and at most ten basic rows each. Set preview: true.
product	$1.50 / 1,000	One product row from search or a category
product-detail	$4.00 / 1,000	One product with ingredients, allergens, storage and claims (includeDetails: true or SKU lookups)

At the rates above, 1,000 basic rows cost $1.50; 1,000 successfully retrieved detail rows cost $4.00. Catalogue size varies.

❓ FAQ

What happens after my free previews? A preview run stops without collecting data or charging. Set preview: false explicitly to use paid collection. An allowance-service outage also stops previews without switching to paid mode. A minimal hashed account/Actor identifier is retained to enforce the lifetime limit; no search terms or product data are stored in the quota ledger.

Do I need an ALDI account, cookies or an API key? No. Provide input, get results.

Can I get barcodes? This Actor does not return GTINs from its ALDI product-data source. Use name + size to match against other retailers.

Can I get a nutrition table? Not from ALDI's API; it exposes nutritional claims only. Woolworths and Coles publish full nutrition tables and our scrapers for those return them.

Can I get my local store's prices? The Actor forwards servicePoint when supplied, but store-specific prices and availability have not been validated. Do not interpret notForSale as a store stock count.

How many results per search term? Results are paginated up to maxItemsPerQuery and the total reported by ALDI. The recorded samples were capped, not complete catalogue captures.

Why did a term return nothing? Occasionally ALDI's API returns an empty page that looks identical to "no matches". The actor retries before believing it. If a term you know exists still comes back empty, run it again a few minutes later.

Is it legal? The actor reads the same public catalogue any visitor sees without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the output.
