Woolworths AU Products Scraper (Fast, No Browser)

Get prices, specials, unit prices, barcodes and availability for any product search on woolworths.com.au, sorted the way you choose.

Why this Actor

• Fast and cheap to run. It calls the same JSON search the Woolworths website uses, 36 products per request, instead of opening a browser.
• Patient with bot protection. Requests are spaced out, and when Woolworths says no the Actor switches to a fresh IP and new cookies and backs off before trying again. If several searches in a row are refused, the run stops early instead of burning time.
• One bad search doesn't stop the run. A search that fails, or finds nothing, is recorded as a row that explains what happened, and the run carries on with the rest of your list.
• Safe restarts. If the platform moves your run to another server, it resumes where it stopped, without duplicate products.
• Familiar input. It uses the same field names as the popular Woolworths scraper: searchTerms, sortBy, specialsOnly, maxResults and proxyConfiguration.

How much does it cost?

The Actor is free during launch. You only pay Apify for the platform usage of your runs, and Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage every month, with no credit card.

In our test runs, 1,000 products cost about $0.01 of platform usage with the default datacenter proxy, so the free plan covers hundreds of thousands of products a month.

Good to know

• Prices are Woolworths online prices. In-store prices can differ.
• Products that are unavailable online have no price; Woolworths still lists them in their place in the results.
• Sponsored products appear where Woolworths places them. Use isSponsored to leave them out.
• Everyday Market products from third-party sellers are included and flagged with isMarketplace.
• Only woolworths.com.au (Australia) is supported.
