BIG W Deals & Price Tracker

Find every current BIG W (bigw.com.au) deal — specials, clearance, flash deals, multi-buys and price drops — with the numbers that matter: current price, was-price, RRP, dollar and percentage savings, promo badge and stock. Filter by deal type and minimum discount, sweep whole categories, or monitor a watchlist of specific products for price drops.

Built on BIG W's own JSON API, using its native "deal" filter — so you get only discounted products, fast and complete, as clean JSON/CSV/Excel.

• Price-intelligence teams & brands — measure BIG W promo depth and cadence over time.
• Resellers — spot clearance arbitrage and watchlist SKUs for drops.
• Shoppers & affiliates — automated "what's on sale at BIG W" lists.

FAQ

How does it find deals? It uses BIG W's own deal filter (Clearance, Special, Flash Deal, Multi-Buy, price-drop tags), so only genuinely discounted products are returned — no client-side guessing.

Is the was-price real? Yes — was-price, RRP and savings come from BIG W's live price API at scrape time.

Can I track specific products? Yes — add their codes/URLs to productCodes and their current price and deal status are always reported.

How much can I get per run? Up to maxItems. A single query is capped at 2000 results by BIG W; the auto category sweep covers far more.

Do I need an unblocker? No — it uses BIG W's official JSON API directly. Apify Proxy provides a stable IP and can be switched to Australian residential.

Is this legal? It collects only publicly available product/pricing data. You are responsible for using it in line with BIG W's terms and applicable law.
