Aldi Weekly Ad Scraper — ZIP Grocery Prices

Disclaimer: Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ALDI or Instacart. Data is read from publicly accessible aldi.us circular pages only. No login. You are responsible for complying with applicable law and the site’s terms. No warranty on accuracy or availability. Provided for informational and research use.

This Aldi weekly ad scraper turns the public US weekly circular and ALDI Finds flyer into a structured Apify dataset, scoped to a store ZIP code. Export sale price, regular price, brand, size, stock, and images as JSON or CSV — an Aldi weekly ad API alternative for Python, Node.js, and MCP.

It is not a full 13k-SKU grocery catalog. Pair it with a marketplace scraper when you need online comps rather than ZIP-local advertised specials.

When to use this Actor

• Aldi weekly ad scrape for one US ZIP (this week’s sale circular / flyer)
• ALDI Finds scraper for limited-run SKUs, plus an optional next-week preview
• Grocery price monitoring on advertised ALDI prices, percent-off badges, and unit price
• Deal aggregators / meal-planning feeds that need ZIP-local ALDI offers
• CPG / private-label research on ALDI exclusive brands in the circular
• Scheduler jobs that refresh after Wednesday when the new ad drops

When not to use this Actor

• Full aisle catalog dumps — this Actor is the weekly circular, not every SKU
• Aldi Australia, UK, Ireland, or Germany (Nord/Süd / Hofer) — US aldi.us only
• Checkout, cart, Instacart account, or login automation
• Store-locator crawls as a primary job — pass a ZIP; the Actor resolves the store
• Amazon search — use Amazon Search Scraper

---

Key Features

• ZIP-scoped grocery prices — ALDI US prices differ by store; every row is stamped with ZIP, store name, city, and state
• Weekly ad + ALDI Finds — sale circular (~150–250 items) and limited-run Finds, including next-week preview when published
• Sale fields — current price, regular price, dollar off, percent off, unit price, on-sale flag
• Stock + images — ZIP-local availability, product URL, and primary image
• Fast HTTP — public storefront JSON via Chrome TLS impersonation; no headless browser
• Simple input — ZIP in, offers out; optional keyword and price filters

FAQ

Why do I have to pass a ZIP?
ALDI US prices and assortment are store-specific. A price without a store is not a fact. The ZIP selects the store; it is not a post-filter.

Weekly ad vs ALDI Finds?
The weekly ad is the sale circular (collection=weekly-specials). ALDI Finds are limited-run items for the current week. Toggle includeNextWeek for the preview when ALDI has published it (typically Wednesday).

Can I scrape Aldi with Python or Node.js?
Yes. Use the Apify client examples above, or call the Actor from an AI assistant via MCP. The dataset is JSON — title, sale price, regular price, brand, size, stock, ZIP, and product URL.

What if the ZIP has no nearby store?
The run fails with a clear status message. No offer rows are written.

Is this the full grocery catalog?
No. It is the circular (plus Finds). Keyword search across every SKU is out of scope.

Are filtered-out rows charged as results?
No. Only dataset offers that pass your keyword / price / sale filters are charged as results.

US only?
Yes. This Actor reads the public US storefront. Other country catalogs are out of scope.

Notes

• Prefer US Apify Proxy. Switch to RESIDENTIAL US if GraphQL returns 403.
• Circulars usually refresh Wednesday. Next-week Finds can be empty earlier in the week.
• Duplicate products that appear in both the weekly ad and ALDI Finds keep the Finds row.
• Some weekly-ad rows omit brand; title, price, and product URL still populate.
