Tesco Groceries Scraper - Prices, Offers & Stock

What does Tesco Groceries Scraper do?

Tesco Groceries Scraper extracts structured product data from Tesco's own catalogue — shelf price, unit price, Clubcard offer, brand, barcode, aisle taxonomy, stock status, ratings and product images. It covers all 4 Tesco storefronts — www.tesco.com (UK), www.tesco.ie (Ireland), potravinydomov.itesco.sk (Slovakia) and bevasarlas.tesco.hu (Hungary) — each priced in its own currency, and supports keyword search, category browsing and direct product lookup, so you can run the same query consistently over time.

Key features

• 🌍 4-market coverage — one actor covers all 4 markets: www.tesco.com, www.tesco.ie, potravinydomov.itesco.sk, bevasarlas.tesco.hu. Paste a URL from any of them and it is scraped against that storefront, in that storefront's currency.
• 🔎 Search, category or a single product — a search term, a category URL (the whole aisle, resolved against Tesco's own category tree) or a product URL (that one product). Each input is answered as what it is, not flattened into a keyword search.
• 🏷️ Price, unit price and Clubcard offer on every product — the shelf price and the member price kept apart, with the offer's start and end dates, so loyalty pricing is never blended into one number.
• 💱 Every amount in the currency you want — shelf price, unit price, Clubcard price and the saving, each converted at a dated ECB rate (fxRateDate on every row). USD, EUR and GBP always; set reportingCurrency to report in any other ISO currency.
• 🔖 The saving spelled out — discountAmount and discountPercent alongside the member price and the offer's own unit price, so you never have to work out what the offer is worth.

What data can you extract from tesco.com?

Each result includes Core product fields (listingId, listingKey, productId, baseProductId, gtin, title, brand, and bulkBuyLimit, and more) and extended fields (description). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — What to search the Tesco Groceries catalogue for, e.g. "semi skimmed milk". Use a JSON array for several searches in one run.
• country — Which Tesco storefront to search. Start URLs are always scraped against the market they came from, whatever this is set to. (default: "GB")
• startUrls — Paste Tesco product, category or search URLs from any of the four markets — each is handled as what it is, and priced in its own storefront's currency. E.g. https://www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/browse/fresh-food/milk-butter-eggs/milk/all or https://www.tesco.ie/shop/en-IE/products/268592982
• maxResults — Maximum total products to return (0 = unlimited). Runs of 200 products or fewer use 256 MB; larger runs use 512 MB. (default: 25)
• maxPages — Maximum result pages to fetch per search. Each page holds 48 products, and a search stops early once the catalogue has no more. (default: 5)
• reportingCurrency — Optional. Report every amount — shelf price, unit price, Clubcard price and the saving — in one currency of your choice, given as an ISO code (e.g. PLN, CZK, CHF). Every record already carries USD, EUR and GBP. Converted at a dated ECB rate, not a live one; the rate's date is on each record as fxRateDate.
• compact — Output only core fields (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state, so you see which products are new, which changed price, and which disappeared. stateKey is optional — it defaults to a value derived from your search inputs, so different searches never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe (e.g. "weekly-dairy"). Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• emitUnchanged — When incremental, also emit products that haven't changed. (default: false)
• emitExpired — When incremental, also emit products no longer found in the search results. (default: false)
• ...and 14 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "milk",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit products that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "milk",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "milk-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "milk",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured product records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• firstSeenAt, lastSeenAt — ISO-8601 timestamps tracking the listing across runs.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape tesco.com?

Tesco Groceries Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.01 per run
• Per result: $0.002 per product record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.03
• 25 results: $0.06
• 100 results: $0.21
• 200 results: $0.41
• 500 results: $1.01

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of products that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 100 products per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of products.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.21	$0.02	$0.19 (90%)	$0.60
15% — moderate broad query	$0.21	$0.04	$0.17 (81%)	$1.20
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.21	$0.07	$0.14 (67%)	$2.10

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $6.30. First month with incremental costs $0.79 / $1.37 / $2.24 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
