## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 overview products

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Walmart Scraper — ZIP-local prices, stock & SKUs

> **Disclaimer:** Unofficial tool — not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Walmart Inc. or its affiliates. Data is read from publicly accessible catalog 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.

> **US retail catalog** — ZIP-local Walmart product prices and stock for price monitoring, MAP checks, and catalog fills. Pair with Amazon Search for marketplace comps.

| Walmart catalog | Weekly grocery ads | Amazon search | Tractor Supply catalog |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| **Walmart Scraper** ◄── you are here | [Aldi Weekly Ad Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/aldi-weekly-ad-scraper) · [Lidl Weekly Offers Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/lidl-weekly-offers-scraper) | [Amazon Search Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/amazon-search-scraper) | [Tractor Supply Product Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/tractor-supply-product-scraper) |
| ZIP-local price, unit price, stock | ALDI US / Lidl EU flyer prices | Keyword SERP, ASIN, badges | Rural-retail SKUs and specs |

This **Walmart scraper** turns public search, category, and product pages into a structured Apify dataset. Every run requires a **US ZIP**, so rows carry **local price**, **unit price**, **stock**, **pickup/delivery**, **seller**, **rating**, and **images**. Use it as a Walmart API alternative from **Python**, **Node.js**, or an **MCP** assistant — HTTP scrape, no browser.

***

### When to use this Actor

- **Walmart product scrape** by keyword, product URL, search URL, category URL, or numeric item ID
- **ZIP-local price and stock** for the store serving that ZIP (optional store ID pin)
- **Price monitoring** and MAP checks on advertised prices, was-prices, and unit prices
- **Assortment research** — ratings, review counts, sponsored flags, SNAP EBT, fulfillment
- **SKU / URL enrichment** when you already have `/ip/` links or `usItemId` values

### When not to use this Actor

- **Checkout, cart, or Walmart account** automation
- **Full review-text export** — this Actor returns rating and review **count**, not review bodies
- **Store-locator crawls** as a primary job (pass `zip` and optional `storeId` instead)
- **Canada / Mexico catalogs** — US catalog only
- **Amazon search** — use [Amazon Search Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/amazon-search-scraper)

***

### Key Features

- **Required ZIP** — every row is localized (price, stock, pickup/delivery, serving store)
- **Keyword search** — the same terms shoppers type into Walmart search
- **URL / ID lookup** — `/ip/` product pages, search URLs, `/browse/` categories, numeric `usItemId`
- **Overview vs detail** — fast listing cards, or enrich with UPC, description, images, variants
- **Unit price & SNAP** — per-oz / per-count strings and EBT flag when the page exposes them
- **Fast HTTP** — public `__NEXT_DATA__` via Chrome TLS impersonation; no headless browser

***

### Integration examples

Replace `YOUR_TOKEN` with an Apify API token. US residential proxy is required for ZIP-local assortment.

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/walmart-scraper').call({
  keywords: ['paper towels'],
  zip: '10001',
  scrapeMode: 'overview',
  maxItems: 25,
  proxyConfiguration: {
    useApifyProxy: true,
    apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'],
    apifyProxyCountry: 'US',
  },
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/walmart-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "keywords": ["paper towels"],
        "zip": "10001",
        "scrapeMode": "overview",
        "maxItems": 25,
        "proxyConfiguration": {
            "useApifyProxy": True,
            "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
            "apifyProxyCountry": "US",
        },
    }
)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items)
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~walmart-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["paper towels"],"zip":"10001","scrapeMode":"overview","maxItems":25,"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],"apifyProxyCountry":"US"}}'
```

### FAQ

**How do I scrape Walmart with Python or Node.js?**\
Call `crawloop/walmart-scraper` with the Apify client examples above. Pass `zip` plus at least one of `keywords`, `startUrls`, or `itemIds`. Export the dataset as JSON or CSV from the run.

**Why is ZIP required?**\
Walmart prices and stock are store-scoped. A national dump without ZIP is what generic product scrapers already sell. This Actor always localizes the run.

**What is the difference between overview and detail?**\
Overview is one search request per page (price, ratings, stock, fulfillment). Detail fetches each product page and adds UPC, description, image gallery, variants, and return policy.

**Does this include grocery aisles?**\
Grocery SKUs appear in search and product pages the same way as other catalog items. Pass a ZIP so unit price and pickup reflect that store. This is not a weekly-ad or store-locator Actor.

**Does this include review text?**\
No. Each row includes star rating and review count only.

**Are error rows billed?**\
No. `error` rows are not billed as listing or product results.

**Why do I need residential proxy?**\
PerimeterX often blocks datacenter IPs. US RESIDENTIAL is the default so ZIP-local assortment can resolve.

**Can I pin a specific store?**\
Yes — set `storeId` to a Walmart store number. `storeId` on output is the **serving** store used for the row.

### Notes

- Prefer **US Apify RESIDENTIAL**. Bare datacenter IPs often return a bot wall.
- The digits at the end of a product URL are the canonical `usItemId`.
- `error` rows are not billed as listing or product results.

Optional Walmart store number to pin assortment (e.g. 3520). When empty, Walmart picks a store for the ZIP.

## `scrapeMode` (type: `string`):

Native Walmart search sort.
