Apollo Pharmacy Catalogue by Category

Pulls every product on an Apollo Pharmacy category listing (apollopharmacy.in, India), page by page, with price, MRP, discount, pack size and stock. Use it to mirror a pharmacy category, track discounting on OTC and supplement ranges, or compare Apollo against other Indian pharmacies.

What you get

• One row per product: id, sku, name, brand, price, original_price (the MRP), discount_percent, currency and product_url.
• page and position for exact placement inside the category listing.
• in_stock, so out-of-stock lines stay visible rather than missing.
• rx_required, separating prescription items from over-the-counter stock.
• unit_size for the pack size and subcategory for Apollo's own shelf label.
• merchandising_text and tags for the promotional copy, plus optional subcategory crawling.

rating, rating_count and seller are always null: Apollo publishes none of them on listings. Apollo has no reliable sponsored marker either, so treat is_sponsored as unavailable rather than as a measured ad flag.

Use cases

• Price and MRP tracking on OTC and supplement ranges from price, original_price and discount_percent.
• Assortment comparison against other Indian pharmacies, keyed on name and unit_size.
• Availability monitoring from in_stock, with or without a pincode.
• Promotion tracking from merchandising_text, and prescription versus OTC mix from rx_required.

Notes and limits

• 24 products a page.
• Category slugs come from the site navigation, and a name is matched against it, so a slug or a /shop-by-category/ URL is the most reliable input.
• An unknown slug returns zero rows for that entry with a warning, and the run goes on.
• Apollo publishes no ratings and no dependable sponsored signal on listings.
• Only the India storefront exists.
• An Indian residential proxy is the default and is recommended. Category names are read from the public site, which only answers Indian egress, so without one you must pass slugs or URLs.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? An Indian residential proxy is recommended and is the default. Without it you can still scrape by slug or URL, but category names will not resolve.

How many results can I get? Everything Apollo lists for the category, 24 products a page. maxPages caps it, 0 means no cap.

Does it need a login or an API key? No.

Does the pincode change the assortment? It reorders results and updates the delivery text. It does not switch you to a different catalogue, so leave it empty for the national view.

Why are ratings empty? Apollo returns no ratings on its listing endpoints, so the columns exist for schema consistency and are always null.
