Woolworths AU Product & Price Scraper

Extract product data from Woolworths Australia (woolworths.com.au) — prices, specials, half-price deals, unit prices, stock status, barcodes, nutrition, ingredients and allergens. Search by keyword, scrape whole categories, or look up specific stockcodes.

Built on Woolworths' own JSON endpoints. No headless browser, so runs finish in seconds and cost a fraction of browser-based scrapers.

Pricing

Pay per result. product = one row from search or category browsing. product-detail = one row with full nutrition/ingredient data. No charge for failed requests.

Proxies

Woolworths blocks most datacenter IPs. The default proxy configuration uses Apify residential proxies with an Australian exit. Leave it as is unless you have your own AU residential proxies.

Reliability

• Sessions are warmed up on the Woolworths homepage before any API call and rotated automatically on block.
• Browser TLS fingerprint impersonation (Chrome / Edge / Safari).
• Every result is normalised to the same schema regardless of source (search, category, stockcode).
• A product that disappears from Woolworths is reported in the log as not found, not silently dropped.

Integrations & API

Run from the Apify API, schedule it, or push results to Google Sheets, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n. Works as an MCP tool for AI agents — inputs are plain keywords and URLs.

Legal
