ALDI UK Product Search & Catalog (Unofficial)

Search ALDI UK products and fetch category, filter, search, and item data in normalized output.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with ALDI.

Proxy behavior

This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. For protected UK runs, prefer APIFY_WAVE1_PROXY_MODE=custom with UK-located proxy URLs in APIFY_WAVE1_CUSTOM_PROXY_URLS. Leave the actor in auto only if you intentionally want direct fallback when custom proxies are missing.

Supported operations
