Tesco Groceries Scraper

Tesco UK grocery prices, unit prices, Clubcard offers, and GTIN from search and category pages. Independent tool, not affiliated with Tesco.

Pull a search or a category listing when you need shelf price, unit price, a Clubcard flag, barcode, brand, and rating in one row. Paste keywords or listing URLs. Each dataset row is one product. This is a Tesco scraper and a Tesco API alternative for Python, Node.js, and MCP.

FAQ

Does this open a single product page for nutrition and ingredients?
No. It reads the search and category listing: price, unit price, Clubcard text, GTIN, brand, rating, and category path.

What if the keyword matches nothing?
The run finishes with an empty dataset. Other keywords in the same input still run.

How many products are on a page?
About 24. Raise maxPages when you need more than one page. maxItems caps the combined rows.
