Coles, Woolworths & ALDI Scraper – Australian Grocery Prices

Coles, Woolworths & ALDI Scraper — Australian grocery prices in one format

Get product prices, specials, multi-buy offers and unit prices from Coles, Woolworths and ALDI Australia in a single run, with the same fields for all three stores. Search any product, take whole departments or the full catalogue, or paste any store URL. No login, no browser, no proxy to set up.

Why this Actor

• Three supermarkets, one dataset. Search milk once and get Coles, Woolworths and ALDI side by side, ready to compare by unit price.
• Built for reliability. Coles and Woolworths protect their sites against bots. This Actor connects directly while it can and switches to Apify Proxy (Australian residential IPs) on its own when a store blocks it, so runs don't fail, at no extra cost to you. In our tests: 7,464 of 7,470 Coles specials, 2,271 of 2,271 products of a whole Coles department, all 5,698 Woolworths grocery specials.
• Checked against the real product pages. 30 products (10 per store, including specials) compared with each product's own page: price, was-price and unit price identical in 30 of 30.
• Specials done right. Was-price, savings, half-price and percentage-off labels, multi-buy offers (2 for $7.00), and ALDI's own Super Savers and Lower Prices ranges.
• Fair price: $1.30 per 1,000 products on the Starter plan, less on higher plans, for all three stores.

Use cases

• Price comparison apps and newsletters: the cheapest milk, coffee or nappies across the three chains, every day.
• Brands and suppliers: monitor shelf prices, promotions and availability of your products and your competitors'.
• Deal hunting: every product on special this week, per store or per department.
• Research and journalism: grocery inflation, unit prices, private label vs brands, promotions over time.
• Retail analytics: full catalogue snapshots with categories, sizes and barcodes (Woolworths).

Input

Field	Description
Search terms	Products to search, one per line (milk, coffee beans, nappies). Each term is searched in every selected store.
Stores	Coles, Woolworths, ALDI (default: all three).

Whole catalogue	Every product of the selected stores; with Specials only, every product on special.
Start URLs	Any search, category, specials or product page of coles.com.au, woolworths.com.au or aldi.com.au.
Specials only	Keep only products on special.
Include Woolworths Everyday Market	Off by default: products sold on woolworths.com.au by third-party sellers (fashion, homewares, electronics) are left out, so results are groceries. Turn on to include them.
Max products per source	Limit per search term per store, per category per store and per URL (default 100; 0 = all).
Max products in total	Stop the run after this many products (0 = no limit).

Honest limits

• Prices are the stores' online prices for their default location. Coles and Woolworths prices can differ slightly in some regions and stores.
• ALDI Australia does not sell groceries online: its prices are the ones published on aldi.com.au, and it rarely shows a was-price, so its specials are the products of its Super Savers and Lower Prices ranges.
• Search results follow each store's own search engine: a vague term can return loosely related products (Coles returns its closest matches even for a misspelled word).
• Sponsored products appear in the stores' results; the Actor keeps each product once per run.
• Gift cards (Woolworths "Front of Store") are not included in the whole catalogue: the store refuses that department.

Pricing

$1.30 per 1,000 products on the Starter plan, down to $0.90 on Business (product event; the Pricing tab shows the price for your plan), for any of the three stores. Error and no-result rows are free. Set a maximum charge in the run options and the Actor stops there.
