Waitrose UK Product Scraper (Unofficial)

Scrape Waitrose UK product search, categories, pricing, offers, and normalized item data. Use this Waitrose UK scraper for price monitoring, retail research, assortment tracking, and ecommerce data workflows.

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

Proxy behavior

This actor uses the shared Apify proxy contract used across the workspace. waitrose_uk works in direct mode from this environment, so auto is a good default. If your cloud runs start getting blocked, switch to APIFY_WAVE1_PROXY_MODE=custom and provide UK-located proxy URLs in APIFY_WAVE1_CUSTOM_PROXY_URLS.
