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 ## Morrisons UK Grocery Scraper Scrape product listings from [groceries.morrisons.com](https://groceries.morrisons.com) by search query. Returns structured data for every product found — including name, brand, price, unit price, size, offer status, and direct product URL. ### Features - Search for any product by keyword (e.g. "beans", "semi skimmed milk", "pasta") - Multiple queries in a single run - Uses stable `data-test` attribute selectors for reliable extraction - Unit pricing with normalised measures (per kg, per litre, per item) - Brand detection including Morrisons own-brand labels (Morrisons, The Best, Savers) - Promotional offer detection with original and current price - Product weight/size from dedicated size elements - Configurable result limit per query ### Input | Field | Type | Description | Default | |-------|------|-------------|---------| | `queries` | string[] | List of search queries | *required* | | `maxResultsPerQuery` | integer | Max products per query (1-100) | 20 | #### Example input ```json { "queries": ["baked beans", "whole milk", "sourdough"], "maxResultsPerQuery": 10 } ```` ### Output Each result in the dataset contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `store` | string | Always `"morrisons"` | | `query` | string | The search query that produced this result | | `name` | string | Product name | | `brand` | string | Brand name (e.g. `"Morrisons"`, `"Heinz"`) | | `productId` | string | Morrisons product ID | | `price` | number | Current price in GBP | | `unitPrice` | number | Price per unit (e.g. per kg, per litre) | | `unitPriceMeasure` | string | Unit measure (e.g. `"per kg"`, `"per litre"`) | | `unitSize` | string | Product weight/size (e.g. `"800g"`, `"6 x 415g"`) | | `onOffer` | boolean | Whether the product has a promotional offer | | `offerDescription` | string | Offer details (e.g. `"Now £4.50, Was £5.25"`) | | `imageUrl` | string | Product image URL | | `productUrl` | string | Direct link to product page on groceries.morrisons.com | | `scrapedAt` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp | #### Example output ```json { "store": "morrisons", "query": "beans", "name": "Heinz Baked Beans in a Rich Tomato Sauce 6 x 415g", "brand": "Heinz", "productId": "107311159", "price": 4.50, "unitPrice": 1.81, "unitPriceMeasure": "per kg", "unitSize": "6 x 415g", "onOffer": true, "offerDescription": "Now £4.50, Was £5.25", "imageUrl": "https://groceries.morrisons.com/images-v3/.../300x300.jpg", "productUrl": "https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/heinz-baked-beans-in-a-rich-tomato-sauce-6-x-415g/107311159", "scrapedAt": "2026-03-28T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Use cases - **Price monitoring** — track Morrisons prices over time and detect price drops - **Basket comparison** — compare grocery costs across UK supermarkets - **Market research** — analyse competitive pricing and product ranges - **Deal alerts** — build notifications for promotional offers - **Shopping apps** — power product search and comparison features ### Notes - Morrisons uses `data-test` attributes (e.g. `fop-title`, `fop-price`, `fop-offer-text`) which are more stable than CSS class selectors - Search results may include a small number of sponsored products at the top - No bot detection or login required for search pages # Actor input Schema ## `queries` (type: `array`): List of product search queries (e.g. \["beans", "milk", "bread"]) ## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to return per search query ## Actor input object example ```json { "queries": [ "baked beans", "whole milk", "sourdough" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `products` (type: `string`): Dataset of scraped Morrisons product listings — each row contains name, brand, price, unitPrice, unitPriceMeasure, unitSize, onOffer, offerDescription, imageUrl, productUrl, gtin, and scrapedAt. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "queries": [ "baked beans", "whole milk", "sourdough" ], "maxResultsPerQuery": 10 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("illehius/morrisons-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
