Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Kroger Scraper: Product Prices, Stock & Search

### 🔍 What does Kroger Scraper do? Kroger Scraper searches [Kroger.com](https://www.kroger.com) for any keyword, from "milk" to a specific brand name, and returns a clean row for every matching product. Each row carries the price, the unit price, the current stock level, the brand, the package size, and the product image, all scoped to the Kroger store location you pick. Kroger prices and stock change store by store and day by day, so a single national price list is never accurate enough for real decisions. This Actor pulls live numbers straight from the store you choose, run on demand or on a schedule through the Apify platform. Need to track changes over time instead of a one-off pull? Pair this with [Kroger Price Monitor](https://apify.com/getascraper/kroger-price-monitor), which watches the same keywords and store and returns a row only when a price or stock status actually changes. ### 🧑‍💼 Why use Kroger Scraper? **CPG brands and agencies** track how their products are priced and stocked across Kroger stores, without opening a browser tab for every location. **Grocery price comparison tools** pull live Kroger prices to show shoppers where to save, store by store. **Market researchers** watch category prices over time to measure grocery inflation with real numbers, not survey estimates. **Price intelligence platforms** add Kroger, one of the largest US grocery chains, to a wider retail monitoring feed. Kroger.com is protected by strong bot defenses, so most scraping tools either fail outright or fall back to slow, unreliable browser automation. This Actor handles that layer for you and hands back a ready-to-use dataset. ### 🚀 How to use Kroger Scraper

Enter the Kroger store ID for the location you want to track.

### 💡 Tips for better runs - Use specific search terms, such as "whole wheat bread" instead of "bread", to keep results tightly matched to what you need. - Set a Max items limit for exploratory runs, then remove it once you know the volume of results a keyword returns. - Schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly to build a price and stock history over time. - If you track multiple stores, run the Actor once per store location ID, either as separate tasks or a schedule. ### ❓ FAQ **Does this Actor work for any Kroger store location?** Yes. Prices and stock are store-specific on Kroger.com, so you provide the store location ID for the store you want to track. You can run the Actor separately for as many stores as you need. **Why do some rows have missing fields, like stock level?** Kroger does not return every field for every product. Rather than guess or fill in a placeholder, this Actor leaves those fields out of the row so your data stays accurate. **Can I search for a whole category instead of one keyword?** Yes, broader terms like "cereal" or "yogurt" work the same way as specific product names and return every matching result. **Is this legal?** This Actor only reads public product listings that are visible to any shopper on Kroger.com. It does not access accounts, place orders, or collect personal data. Review Kroger's terms of service if you plan to use the data commercially at scale. Found an issue or want a feature added?

One search is run per keyword. ## `storeLocationId` (type: `string`): The Kroger store ID to price and check stock against (prices and inventory are store-specific). Find yours from the Kroger store locator (krogerstorelocator.com) or by selecting a store on kroger.com and inspecting the resulting URL/cookie for the numeric store ID. Defaults to a store used during actor testing. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return across all search terms. Set to 0 for unlimited (all matching results for every search term). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to reach Kroger.com. Kroger runs Akamai Bot Manager. Cloud testing showed Apify's datacenter proxy pool gets blocked on essentially every request, while US Residential proxy reliably gets through, so Residential is the default here. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerms": [ "milk", "eggs" ], "storeLocationId": "02100537", "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ], "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
