What does this actor do?

Coles is one of Australia's two largest supermarket chains, with more than 800 stores. This scraper pulls structured product data from Coles Australia (coles.com.au) so you can track prices, specials, and availability at scale.

You can scrape three ways: by keyword search, by pasting category or weekly specials URLs, or by feeding a list of product SKUs. Pin a specific store to get the exact prices and stock shown to shoppers in that location. Results download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Who uses this?

• I am a pricing analyst at a competing grocery brand. I track Coles prices on my product range every morning so I can match or beat their specials before the weekly catalogue refreshes.
• I am a category manager at an FMCG supplier. I audit how many of my SKUs Coles stocks, what shelf price they set, and which lines are running half-price promotions.
• I am a data journalist covering cost of living. I build a weekly grocery basket dataset to measure food inflation across staple items like milk, bread, and eggs.
• I am an online reseller. I monitor Coles markdowns and out-of-stock items to spot arbitrage and restocking opportunities.
• I am a market researcher. I need state-specific pricing across multiple Coles stores to compare regional price differences for a client report.

Pricing

Pricing is pay per result. You are charged only for products successfully written to your dataset. Empty runs and blocked requests cost nothing. There are no monthly subscriptions or minimum commitments.

Tips

• Track weekly specials. Paste a specials URL like the half-price page as a start URL to capture every markdown in one run.
• Compare regions. Run the same search across different store IDs to measure how Coles prices vary by state.
• Build a price history. Schedule a daily run on the same products to create a time-series dataset for inflation or repricing work.
• Start small. Set a low maxItems for your first run to confirm the output matches what you need before scaling up.
