Precios Claros Argentina Supermarket Prices Scraper

Get supermarket product prices from Precios Claros, the Argentine government's official price transparency platform (over 14,000 tracked products), as clean structured data.

What you can do with it

• Track supermarket prices: monitor brand and product prices near any city or neighborhood in Argentina.
• Compare price ranges: minPrice and maxPrice show the spread across nearby stores for the same product.
• Build a price index or alert: run it daily on a fixed location to catch price changes over time.
• Search by product: use the keyword filter to pull every price point for a brand or category, e.g. "leche" or "aceite".

Input

Field	What it does
Latitude / Longitude	Point to search prices around, within Argentina. Defaults to the Obelisco, Buenos Aires.
Search keyword	Filter products by name, for example leche or aceite. Empty means every product.
Maximum number of products	The run stops once this many products are saved.

Output

One record per product:

{
  "id": "7790990004265",
  "name": "Abrillantador 5 En 1 P/Maquina Lavavaji.Magistral  Bot 500 Ml",
  "brand": "MAGISTRAL",
  "presentation": "500.0 ml",
  "minPrice": 15599.99,
  "maxPrice": 15599.99,
  "availableAtStores": 2
}

• id: the product's barcode (EAN), a stable unique identifier.
• minPrice / maxPrice: lowest and highest price found among nearby stores, in Argentine pesos.
• availableAtStores: number of nearby stores currently reporting a price for this product.

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

Good to know

• Data comes straight from the public JSON API behind the official site, so it is fast and reliable: no browser, no proxy needed.
• The dataset carries product, brand and price data only. No shopper, cashier or any individual is ever named — only products and the chain/store counts that sell them.
• Prices are reported by the stores themselves to the Argentine government platform and may lag real shelf prices by a day or two.

Why this one

• The Argentine government's own price platform. The data comes from Precios Claros, the official price transparency site, not from a single retailer.
• Prices around any location. Give a latitude, a longitude and a product search (Buenos Aires by default) and get minPrice, maxPrice and availableAtStores.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 products, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 products cost about $0.20. You only pay for the products you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

  lat: -34.6037,
  lng: -58.3816,
  query: 'leche',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
