Vea Argentina — product search & price scraper

Search Vea Argentina's online supermarket for structured prices in ARS — everyday groceries and household essentials with brands, per-kg prices, stock and URLs.

🇦🇷 Argentina · storefront: www.vea.com.ar · prices in ARS (AR)

Every run returns normalized product records — name, brand, current and list price in ARS, per-kilogram price, stock level, product and image URLs — ready for datasets, spreadsheets or dashboards. Fast, structured results: no manual copy-paste.

Use cases

• Neighborhood-supermarket price monitoring — Vea's value-oriented assortment.
• Cross-banner comparison — pair with Jumbo (shared inventory) and Disco for Cencosud-wide coverage.
• Staples research — high-frequency series on core grocery SKUs.
• Assortment feeds — structured output for price-comparison pages.

What it returns

• productKey — stable unique product ID for this store; join and dedupe on this, never the bare id
• name / brand — product display name and brand
• price / listPrice / currency — current and list price; the currency for this store is always ARS
• unitMultiplier / measurementUnit — pack size (a 5 kg bag → multiplier 5, unit kg)
• pricePerKg — normalized per-kilogram price when the weight is known, null otherwise
• availableQuantity / inStock — stock count (99999 means effectively unlimited) and availability flag
• url / imageUrl — product page and product image
• store / searchQuery / categoryResolved — run provenance: store slug, the query used, and whether the optional category filter resolved

Input

• search — required; free-text product search, e.g. arroz
• category — optional; free-text category to scope the search against the store's own category tree (e.g. huevos)
• maxPages — 1–5 result pages (default 1; 24 products per page)
• maxResults — cap on returned products (default 50, max 200)
• requestDelaySecs — politeness delay between result pages (default 1.0 s)

This record always searches www.vea.com.ar — no store selection is needed (or offered); every record of this family is fixed to one storefront.

Quirks

1. Vea and Jumbo share inventory — treat identical SKUs as one data point across banners.
2. Value-banner pack sizes skew small — pricePerKg keeps comparisons honest.
3. Category resolution falls back to plain search with categoryResolved: false.
