Australian Supermarket Scraper: Coles, Woolworths & ALDI Prices

Scrape grocery prices from Coles, Woolworths and ALDI Australia in one unified format. Search by keyword, scrape category pages or pull the weekly specials catalogues. Every product comes with its price, was price, savings, unit price, special flag, brand, size, category, image and product link, plus the barcode and rating for Woolworths.

One keyword runs in all three stores at once, so a single run gives you a ready-made price comparison across Australia's big supermarkets. No login, no browser. Pay only per product delivered.

Pricing

• Product: charged per product saved to the dataset. Keywords or categories that fail are reported as error records and are not charged. With Only products on special, products filtered out are not charged either.

Tips and limits

• Use Schedules in Apify Console to collect prices daily or weekly.
• Coles sometimes answers with a bot check. The actor then retries from a new proxy IP (up to Max retries per request), so a run finishes instead of failing.
• Prices are the online prices shown without a selected store. In-store prices can differ by location.
• ALDI products are in-store items, so there is no stock flag.

FAQ

Is it legal? The actor reads publicly visible product listings. Use the data in line with each store's terms and applicable law.

Can I compare the same product across stores? Search the same keyword in all three stores; for exact matches use the Woolworths barcode or compare name and size.
