IKEA Australia Products, Prices & Availability Scraper

Export current IKEA Australia product data to an Apify Dataset: product and variant IDs, prices in AUD, images, ratings, category paths, product URLs, and IKEA's online sellability signal. Use the Dataset directly or send it to Google Sheets, Telegram, a CRM, n8n, or Make.

Availability means the product is marked as sellable online by IKEA Australia. It is not a real-time quantity or store-level inventory reading.

What you can do

• Search the Australian catalogue by keyword.
• Export a category using a real IKEA category ID.
• Look up one product by ID or current IKEA AU URL.
• Include product variants for SKU-level monitoring.
• Discover valid categories and search filters before building a larger export.

Quick start

The default input returns a small, useful chair-price Dataset:

{
  "operation": "search",
  "search_query": "chair",
  "page": 1,
  "page_size": 10
}

Each Dataset row can include:

{
  "id": "59445467",
  "item_no": "59445467",
  "name": "LOBERGET / MALSKÄR",
  "type_name": "Swivel chair",
  "price": 49,
  "current_price": 49,
  "currency": "AUD",
  "availability": "in_stock",
  "source_url": "https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/...-s59445467/",
  "image": "https://www.ikea.com/au/en/images/products/...",
  "images": ["https://www.ikea.com/au/en/images/products/..."],
  "rating": 4.5,
  "review_count": 100,
  "breadcrumbs": ["Products", "Chairs"]
}

Fields can vary by product. Empty optional values are omitted where possible.

Input reference

Field	Type	Used by	Notes
operation	string	all	search, category, item, categories, or search_filters
search_query	string	search, search_filters	Search phrase
category_id	string	category	Discover with categories; for example fu002
item_id	string	item	Eight-digit IKEA product ID
url	string	item	Current IKEA Australia product URL
slug	string	item	Product slug or a value containing its product ID
page	integer	search, category	Starts at 1
page_size	integer	search, category	1–100; the source may return fewer rows
include_variants	boolean	item	Adds the available variant list
proxy_configuration	string	all	auto, direct, apify, or residential

Proxy strategy and cost

auto is the recommended default. It tries a direct request first, then Apify's standard proxy, and uses residential proxy only when explicitly selected. Current tests show direct access works and is the fastest and cheapest route. A browser is not required.

Use residential only to diagnose a location-sensitive failure; it costs more. Special-purpose SERP proxy groups are not suitable for this source.

Use with n8n / Make

A practical workflow is:

Apify Actor → Dataset → n8n or Make → Google Sheets / Telegram / CRM

The importable example at examples/n8n_ikea_prices_to_google_sheets.json starts the Actor, waits for completion, downloads Dataset items, and appends them to Google Sheets. Set APIFY_TOKEN, your Google Sheets credentials, and the target sheet after importing it.

Start a run through the API

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/9Yfk2ucAcWGafRLWf/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation":"search","search_query":"chair","page":1,"page_size":10}'

Read data.defaultDatasetId from the response, then download the rows:

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

In Make, use its HTTP modules for the same two calls, followed by Google Sheets, Telegram Bot, or your CRM module.

Run summary

Besides Dataset rows, every completed run writes an OUTPUT record to the default key-value store. It contains status, row count, selected operation, actual access mode, and actionable errors. This is useful for monitoring and automations.

Limitations

• IKEA Australia market only (au/en).
• No store-level stock quantity or real-time inventory guarantee.
• Product availability, fields, and result counts follow IKEA's public catalogue backend.
• Catalogue structure can change; use categories instead of hardcoding guessed IDs.
