Kroger Product & Price Scraper

Extract Kroger.com grocery products — with store-specific prices, promotions, stock levels, ratings and images — by keyword, UPC, product URL, or the entire catalog. Kroger prices and availability change from store to store; this Actor lets you pin a store (or compare several) and returns clean, structured JSON ready for Sheets, BI or your app.

It renders each page through a real browser, so Kroger's Akamai anti-bot layer doesn't break your run — and it combines search and full product detail in one rich row.

Who uses this

• Price intelligence & CPG analysts — monitor price, promo and unit price by store; compare the same SKU across multiple locations.

• App & SaaS developers — a stable JSON product feed with UPC lookup and whole-catalog enumeration.
• Market researchers — assortment, brands, categories and ratings across Kroger's catalog.

3. Assortment & share-of-shelf — search category keywords to map brands, sizes and ratings across the catalog.
4. Catalog feed — enumerate the whole catalog (via the sitemap) to seed a product database, then keep it fresh with targeted UPC runs.

Use it from an AI assistant (MCP)

This Actor runs great as a tool for AI agents via the Apify MCP server. Point your MCP-compatible client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) at Apify, then ask it to run axlymxp/kroger-product-scraper with a searchQueries or upcs input and read the dataset back — perfect for on-demand grocery price lookups inside an agent workflow.

FAQ

Which store's prices do I get? The store set by locationId (or each of storeLocationIds). Kroger prices, promos and stock are store-scoped, so always set the store you care about.

How many products per search? Each keyword returns Kroger's first result page (~24 products) with full detail. Use upcs / productUrls for exact items, or scrapeAllProducts for the whole catalog.

How fresh is the data? Every row is fetched live at run time and stamped with scrapedAt. Schedule runs for time series.

Is it reliable against Kroger's anti-bot? Yes — pages are rendered through a real residential browser, which clears Akamai Bot Manager that blocks plain HTTP scrapers.

Do I need my own Zyte key? No. A key is built in; you can optionally supply zyteApiKey to use your own account.

Is this legal? The Actor collects only publicly available catalog data (no login, no personal data). You are responsible for complying with Kroger's Terms and applicable laws.

Nutrition facts / ingredients? The public web catalog exposes dietary claims (Organic, Gluten Free…) but not a full nutrition panel or ingredient list, so those aren't included.
