🇦🇺 Coles Australia Scraper: Products, Prices, Specials & Stock

Coles prices you can actually compare Scrape Coles Australia products with a true per-kg or per-L price already worked out, honest specials math, and optional alerts when a price or stock level moves.

📏 True unit pricing A real price per kg or per L on every row, not a label that mixes per-100g and per-kg listings.

🏷️ Honest specials math A markdown only shows as a markdown when the original price genuinely beats today's price.

🔔 Price & stock alerts Turn on change tracking for new, dropped, risen, and restocked items on every scheduled run.

📦 Full stock detail Purchase limits, available quantity, and stock channel on every row.

Point this scraper at any Coles search term, category page, or product SKU. It returns clean pricing, was/now markdown discounts, a normalized unit price, stock availability, and full product details. No login required.

🔍 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. Results download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

💡 Who uses this?

• I am a pricing analyst at a competing grocery brand. Every morning I need to know exactly what Coles charges per kilo on my category, not just the sticker price, before I set today's price match.
• I am a category manager at an FMCG supplier. I need to know which of my SKUs just went on markdown and by how much, without opening dozens of product pages by hand.
• I am a data journalist covering cost of living. I track a weekly grocery basket and need true per-kg and per-L prices on staples like milk, bread, and eggs, not numbers that mix per-100g and per-kg listings.
• I am an online reseller. I want an alert the moment a product goes on markdown or comes back in stock, not a reason to keep refreshing the page.

✨ 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 prices fairly. Sort or filter on price_per_base_unit, not price or the raw comparable string. Coles displays some products per-100g and others per-1kg, so the sticker numbers alone aren't comparable.
• Get alerted, not just logged. Set monitorMode to changes and schedule the run. Each run after the first only reports what actually moved.
• Start small. Set a low maxItems for your first run to confirm the output matches what you need before scaling up.

❓ FAQ

Which Coles pages can I scrape?

You can scrape keyword search results, category and browse pages, weekly specials pages, and individual product SKUs. Pick the mode that matches your input.

Can I get prices for a specific store or region?

No, this actor does not support pinning a specific Coles store. Coles resolves store-specific pricing automatically based on network location, and there is no way to override that from a scraper input. Every run reflects whatever store Coles resolves for that run.

Why is there no in-store aisle location field?

Coles's own product data confirms this isn't published online for any product. The field that would carry it is a placeholder message telling shoppers to ask staff in-store, so no scraper can extract data the source doesn't have.

How fresh is the data?

Every run fetches live data directly from Coles. Results reflect the prices, specials, and stock shown on the site at the moment the run executes.

Is scraping Coles legal?

This actor reads publicly available product pages, the same pages any shopper can open without logging in. You are responsible for complying with Coles' terms of service and applicable laws. For questions or custom fields, contact the author at devanshtiwari365@gmail.com.
