Holland & Barrett UK Products, Prices & Ingredients Scraper

Extract Holland & Barrett UK products, prices, promotions, ratings, ingredients, directions, warnings, nutrition facts, categories, and rich item details. Use the ready Dataset for wellness price monitoring, product research, offer tracking, catalogue enrichment, and automated ecommerce workflows.

This is an unofficial actor and is not affiliated with Holland & Barrett.

What you get

A product search produces clean rows ready for Sheets, BI tools, or a CRM:

• product name, brand, SKU, URL, and category breadcrumbs;
• current and reference prices, unit price, promotions, and availability;
• images, rating, and review count;
• rich item data including ingredients, directions, warnings, suitability, nutrition facts, subscription price, and variants when available.

Search and category stay lightweight. Rich descriptions and health-product details are fetched only by the item operation, so a listing run does not silently fan out into many product-page requests.

Proxy behavior

Direct mode is the default because it is currently the fastest and most reliable option in Apify Cloud. If access changes, try Apify datacenter proxies first and residential GB proxies second. A browser is not required.

Supported operations

Use with n8n / Make

The simplest automation is:

Holland & Barrett Actor → Apify Dataset → n8n or Make → Google Sheets, Telegram, or CRM

Start with the final user result: a spreadsheet or CRM table containing current product prices, offers, ratings, and stock. The workflow then runs the Actor, waits for completion, downloads Dataset items, and sends only those clean rows to the destination.

An importable n8n starter workflow is included in examples/n8n_holland_barrett_to_google_sheets.json. After import, set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable in n8n and select your Google Sheets credential and destination document.

API: start a run

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/6d7jwiowJMIWOS8yC/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&memory=512&timeout=300&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation":"search","query":"vitamin","page":1,"limit":10,"sort":"relevance"}'

Read data.status until it is SUCCEEDED, then take data.defaultDatasetId from the response.

API: download Dataset items

$curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&clean=true&format=json"

In Make, use one HTTP module for the Actor run and another for Dataset items, then connect Google Sheets, Telegram Bot, or your CRM module.
