Woolworths AU Product & Price Scraper | Prices, Specials, Barcodes, Nutrition (2026)

Pull live Woolworths Australia catalogue data by keyword, category or stockcode. A recorded run returned 36 products for one search term in 15 seconds, with price, was-price, unit price, special flags, barcode and availability on every row.

From Architekture, makers of the Coles, ALDI and Woolworths NZ scrapers — one normalised schema across the four, so a product is a product whichever retailer it came from.

Why choose this actor?

• The site's own JSON, no browser. Search, category and detail calls go straight to Woolworths' product endpoints. Runs finish in seconds and cost a fraction of a headless-browser scraper.
• Every price field Woolworths publishes. price, wasPrice, savingsAmount, cupPrice + cupMeasure (unit price), instorePrice, and the flags isOnSpecial, isHalfPrice, isEdrSpecial (Everyday Rewards member price) and isNew.
• Barcodes on the row. barcode (GTIN) is on every product, so matching against Coles, ALDI or your own catalogue is a join, not a fuzzy search.
• Specials as a filter. onlySpecials: true returns only products currently discounted, by category or search term. Half-price tracking is one scheduled run.
• Details when you need them. includeDetails: true adds ingredients, allergenContains, allergenStatement, nutrition (per 100 g and per serving), healthStarRating, countryOfOrigin, lifestyleAndDietary and description for every row. Stockcode lookups always return the full record.
• Self-healing against site changes. Session warm-up, browser-fingerprint impersonation and automatic rotation on a block, with retries before any result is reported empty.

Worth knowing up front

• Woolworths prices vary by delivery area. This actor returns the national online catalogue (no store selected). Per-store pricing and per-store stock quantities are not published by the site, so nobody can return them; isAvailable / isInStock are the online-fulfilment flags.
• Woolworths blocks most datacenter IPs. The prefilled proxy setting (Apify residential, AU) is the one that works. Platform and proxy usage is included in the price — you pay per result only.
• Search results are capped by Woolworths at roughly 50 pages per term. Use category URLs for complete department dumps.

Try the example

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

{
  "searchTerms": ["milk"],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 40
}

Add "onlySpecials": true for discounted items only, or "includeDetails": true for nutrition and ingredients. Up to 100 search terms, category URLs or stockcodes per run; results are de-duplicated by stockcode across all of them.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
searchTerms	array	Keywords, e.g. "milk", "weet-bix". One result set per term.
categoryUrls	array	Woolworths browse URLs, e.g. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/browse/fruit-veg, or the path alone. Walks every page of the category.
stockcodes	array	Stockcodes (6052122) or product URLs. Always returns full details.
maxItemsPerQuery	integer	Cap per term or category. 0 = no cap. Default 100.
onlySpecials	boolean	Return only products currently on special.
includeDetails	boolean	Fetch ingredients, allergens, nutrition and health star rating for every result (one extra request per product, charged as product-detail).
sortType	select	Woolworths sort order: relevance, price low→high, price high→low, name, newest.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Leave on Apify residential, AU.

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
stockcode	Woolworths product ID (integer)
barcode	GTIN / EAN as a string
name	Product name
brand	Brand name
packageSize	Pack size as displayed, e.g. "2L"
price	Current online price, AUD, float
wasPrice	Pre-discount price when on special, else null
savingsAmount	wasPrice − price when on special
cupPrice / cupMeasure / cupString	Unit price, its unit, and the display string, e.g. 1.60 / "1L" / "$1.60 / 1L"
isOnSpecial / isHalfPrice / isEdrSpecial	Discount flags
isAvailable / isInStock	Online availability flags
department / category / subCategory / aisle	Woolworths taxonomy
imageLarge	Product image URL
url	Canonical product page
source	search / category / stockcode plus the term or URL that produced the row

Everything else on a row is passed through from Woolworths unchanged (ratingAverage, ratingCount, supplyLimit, countryOfOriginLabel, isOnlineOnly, isBundle…). 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.

Output example

{
  "stockcode": 888140,
  "barcode": "9300633000000",
  "name": "Woolworths Full Cream Milk",
  "brand": "Woolworths",
  "packageSize": "2L",
  "price": 3.1,
  "wasPrice": null,
  "savingsAmount": 0,
  "cupPrice": 1.55,
  "cupMeasure": "1L",
  "cupString": "$1.55 / 1L",
  "isOnSpecial": false,
  "isHalfPrice": false,
  "isEdrSpecial": false,
  "isNew": false,
  "isAvailable": true,
  "isInStock": true,
  "department": "Dairy, Eggs & Fridge",
  "category": "Milk",
  "subCategory": "Full Cream Milk",
  "ratingAverage": 4.6,
  "ratingCount": 1240,
  "imageLarge": "https://cdn0.woolworths.media/content/wowproductimages/large/888140.jpg",
  "url": "https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/888140",
  "source": "search",
  "searchTerm": "milk"
}

With includeDetails: true the same row also carries ingredients, allergenContains, allergenStatement, nutrition (array of {name, perServing, per100g}), servingSize, servingsPerPack, healthStarRating, countryOfOrigin, lifestyleAndDietary and description.

Advanced usage

Price monitoring. Schedule the same category URLs daily and diff price / wasPrice by stockcode. Specials at Woolworths change on Wednesdays; a Wednesday-morning run catches the new cycle.

Cross-retailer comparison. Run this actor and the Coles AU scraper on the same search terms and join on barcode. ALDI exposes no barcode, so join ALDI on normalised name + packageSize.

Half-price alerts. onlySpecials: true on a handful of categories, then filter isHalfPrice in your pipeline and push to Slack via Make or Zapier.

Nutrition datasets. Category URL + includeDetails: true builds a complete department with ingredients and per-100 g nutrition in one run.

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. Daily is the right cadence for price tracking; weekly is enough for catalogue snapshots.

Pricing: pay per event

You pay per result, not per minute. Platform and proxy usage is included. Nothing is charged for failed requests.

Event	Price	What it covers
product	$1.50 / 1,000	One product row from search or a category
product-detail	$4.00 / 1,000	One product with ingredients, allergens, nutrition and health star rating (includeDetails: true or stockcode lookups)

1,000 products with prices ≈ $1.50. A full department of 2,000 products with nutrition ≈ $8.

FAQ

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

Can I get prices for my local store? Not yet. The site publishes one national online catalogue unless a delivery address is set; per-store pricing is on the roadmap and will be a separate operation when it lands. Ask for it in feedback and you will be told when it ships.

Can I get stock quantities? No, and neither can anyone else — Woolworths publishes availability flags, not counts.

How many results per search term? Woolworths caps search at around 50 pages (~1,800 products). Category URLs are not capped.

Why did a term return nothing? Occasionally Woolworths' search 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.

Does it cover Woolworths Metro or Everyday Market? Metro ranges are included where they appear in the online catalogue. Everyday Market (third-party marketplace) items are flagged isOnlineOnly and included.

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.

For AI agents & LLM apps

woolworths-au-scraper returns Woolworths Australia products — prices, specials and nutrition — as deterministic, schema-stable JSON, one object per line, so agents and RAG pipelines can parse it without defensive code. Invoke it from any agentic workflow via the Apify API or the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) as a tool call; pay-per-event billing means an agent run costs a known amount before it starts (10 delivered rows cost $0.015; $1.50 per 1,000 listing rows, $4.00 per 1,000 detail rows). Honest limits: there is no store selector (prices are the catalogue shown to the browsing session, not a quote for a chosen store), no stock quantities — isAvailable/isInStock are source flags, not shelf counts — and missing fields are returned as null rather than filled in.

Legal compliance

This Actor collects only publicly available data from woolworths.com.au — the same catalogue any visitor can see without logging in. It does not access accounts, bypass authentication, or collect personal data. You are responsible for how you use the output, including compliance with Woolworths' terms where they apply to you.
