ALDI Australia Scraper: Special Buys, Super Savers & Prices

For retail price analysts, brands and comparison teams monitoring ALDI Australia by store. Get ALDI Special Buys, Super Savers, Lower Prices and everyday product prices in one consistent retail dataset. About $0.0025 per product at one store: 20 products cost about $0.05, or 1,000 cost $2.50, plus the small Actor start charge. No login is required.

Choose search words, links, postcodes or store IDs. Each product-store pair is delivered once, using the selected store's public price data.

This is an independent, unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ALDI. The public website is the source of every product value; missing values remain null.

What you get

The output starts with a readable verdict. IDs preserve leading zeros and prices are numeric AUD. A free summary reports coverage and any spending-limit stop.

Field	Meaning
verdict	A short price, store, promotion and stock statement.
retailer, country, currency	ALDI Australia, AU and AUD.
storeId, storeName	The actual ALDI service-point reference and store name.
location	The postcode you requested, rather than the store's postcode.
productId, sku	The full ALDI SKU string.
gtin	A source barcode if supplied; currently unavailable and null.
title, brand, size	Product name, brand and selling pack size where published.
price	Displayed selling amount in AUD; variable-weight pack estimates are identified.
regularPrice	A numeric source was-price, only when ALDI actually publishes one.
onSale	True for a positively identified promotional range, Special Buy or price reduction; otherwise unknown.
promoText, promoType	Verified promotion names and the source's availability or savings text.
promoStart, promoEnd	Source dates only. Special Buys release dates are retained; an expiry is not inferred.
memberPrice, memberProgram	Null when the source provides no loyalty price or program.
unitPrice, unitOfMeasure	Comparable amount and basis, such as 2.38 and 100 g. Always use them together.
inStock, stockLevel	Public store traffic-light result and wording, when available.
rating, reviewCount	Null when the public source supplies no reviews.
category	The product's reported department and category path.
url, imageUrl	The source product page and primary product image.
scrapedAt	UTC observation timestamp.

Additional fields include specialBuyDate, ISO catalogueWeek, unitPriceText, shelfPrice, priceDisplay, priceBasis, isVariableWeight, availabilityText, availabilityTrafficLight, stockCheckedAt, stockInformationAvailable, notForOnlineSale, discontinued, storePostcode, storeCity, storeRegion, storeAddress, requestedLocations, promotionLabels and sourceUrls.

With includeDetails enabled, product detail pages can add description, ingredients, allergens, nutritional claims, storage and usage instructions, origin, warnings, additional information and a complete image gallery. These fields depend on what ALDI publishes for that product. detailsIncluded tells you whether the optional request succeeded. There is no separate detail fee.

Why the store matters

A postcode resolves to the nearest walk-in ALDI store through ALDI's own store finder. The nearest store can have a different postcode: the tested request for 2000 resolved to store G525, 73 Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, postcode 2010. Both values appear in the row. Store comparisons should join on storeId, not the requested postcode alone.

For repeat monitoring, supply the returned storeIds. Empty locations uses the website default. Postcodes resolving to one store share one charged row and appear in requestedLocations. Unavailable stores produce free notes.

Start in three steps

1. Enter a specific search word such as milk, coffee or cheese, or paste a current ALDI Australia category or product URL.
2. Add the postcodes or exact store IDs to compare. Start with 20 products and keep detail enrichment off for the fastest first run.
3. Run the Actor, inspect the Product overview or Deals view, then download JSON, CSV or Excel from the dataset.

The tested 20-product milk prefill near postcode 2000 returned 20 rows and 8 positively identified promotions in 20 seconds. Future runs depend on ALDI's response time and the number of stock or detail requests.

Input reference

Input	Default and behavior
searchTerms	Array of words; the console prefill is ["milk"]. If no selectors are supplied, milk is used.
startUrls	Optional category, product, search or Special Buys links.
productIds	Optional full 18-digit SKU strings, preserving leading zeros.
locations	Australian four-digit postcodes. Console prefill: ["2000"]; empty means the website default store.
storeIds	Optional exact store references such as G525.
maxItemsPerSearch	20 candidate products per selector and store; range 1 to 10,000.
maxItems	20 product-store rows across the whole run; range 1 to 10,000.
dealsOnly	False. True excludes products without positive promotion evidence.
includeDetails	False. Adds slower optional product detail requests without a second product fee.
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter by default; Australian residential retry only after datacenter fails.

Input arrays accept 100 entries each. Invalid input produces a free note. The global maxItems and Apify spending limit apply across all stores combined.

{
  "productIds": ["000000000000762476"],
  "storeIds": ["G525"],
  "includeDetails": true,

}

Paste current category URLs containing /k/ and the category ID. Product URLs end with the full SKU. Search links use /results?q=milk. A dated catalogue link uses /special-buys/YYYY-MM-DD, optionally with ?theme=Pet+Essentials. The bare /special-buys link selects the latest released date advertised in ALDI's current calendar, or the earliest advertised date when none has been released. It does not mean every historical or upcoming catalogue. Marketing pages and PDF catalogue links are not product input routes.

Reading prices and promotions correctly

Random-weight products have an approximate pack price and a separate comparison price. Read price, unitPrice, unitOfMeasure and priceBasis together. shelfPrice retains the other source price amount so analysts can audit weight conversions.

ALDI often shows only the current reduced price. A named range proves promotion membership, not a numerical discount. regularPrice requires an explicit was-price. Special Buys release dates never become invented promotion expiries.

Keyword searches are checked against Lower Prices, Super Savers and Limited Time Only for the same term and store. Named deal inputs provide their promotion context. Other category and exact-product results can have unknown membership; use named deal links for promotion research.

Stock uses the public store traffic light where offered. Catalogue presence and the online-sale flag notForSale do not prove physical shelf availability. Exact quantities are unavailable.

Monitor prices every day

Save a working input as an Apify task. In Console, add a schedule for that task at your preferred local time. Keep the same exact store IDs, SKU strings and selection limits so daily snapshots are comparable. Export the dataset into your warehouse or spreadsheet through an integration or successful-run webhook.

Join snapshots on retailer, storeId and productId; compare prices, promotion and stock fields. Keep scrapedAt. Missing from a capped search does not mean delisted. Exact IDs give stable watchlists. Fresh runs charge again; duplicate discoveries within one run do not.

Pricing and limits

Job	Product charge before tier discounts
20 products at one store	$0.05
10 products at five distinct stores	$0.125
100 product-store rows	$0.25
1,000 product-store rows	$2.50

The list price is $0.0025 per delivered Product. Bronze is $0.002375, Silver $0.00225, and Gold or higher $0.002. The platform Actor start charge is $0.00005 at the supported memory sizes. Failed requests, retries, duplicate discoveries, note rows and the summary have no product charge. Optional details use the same product fee.

Set Apify's maximum charge before starting a large job. The Actor checks capacity before delivery, stops cleanly when another row would exceed the limit, and records that stop in the summary. Progress survives an Apify reboot or migration: saved product-store keys and reconciled billing prevent replayed work from creating duplicate rows or a second product charge.

API use

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("moggedhq/aldi-australia-scraper").call(run_input={
    "searchTerms": ["milk"], "locations": ["2000"], "maxItems": 20
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if row.get("recordType") == "PRODUCT":
        print(row["storeId"], row["sku"], row["price"])

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('moggedhq/aldi-australia-scraper').call({
    productIds: ['000000000000762476'], storeIds: ['G525'], maxItems: 1
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
const products = items.filter(row => row.recordType === 'PRODUCT');

Use the successful run's dataset ID for exports and its key-value store SUMMARY record for coverage. The Product overview, Deals and Full analyst output views show different columns from the same dataset. Filter recordType when consuming exports because free note and summary records also appear there. Use dealsOnly to return a deals-only product selection.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect an MCP client to https://mcp.apify.com and ask it to run moggedhq/aldi-australia-scraper. Example: compare ten coffee products near postcodes 2000 and 3000, including unit price. Supply maxItems: 20 and maxItemsPerSearch: 10; read PRODUCT rows and SUMMARY after completion. Private Actors require an authorized account.

Honest limits and FAQ

Does this cover every ALDI store? The Actor uses ALDI's public walk-in store finder. A postcode may select a nearby store. If no store is available, it returns a free note. Exact store IDs make repeat checks more predictable.

Are the prices national? Each request carries the resolved store reference. ALDI says displayed prices depend on the selected location. The actual store ID and requested location are both returned.

Why are barcodes, member prices or reviews null? They were not supplied in the verified public product records. A SKU is not relabeled as a barcode, and an unknown rating is not zero.

Why are many stock fields null? The stock checker is only exposed for some products. Null means unknown, not in stock and not sold out. A traffic-light result is a recent indication and can change before a store visit.

Can I collect old Special Buys catalogues? Only dates still exposed by the live public source are reliable. This is a current-price collector, not a historical catalogue archive. Save recurring snapshots to build your own history.

Why did a two-word search return loosely related items? Search behavior follows ALDI's own matching and ordering. Prefer a specific single word, a category link, or exact SKUs for a stable watchlist.

What happens when ALDI changes or refuses a request? Requests are paced, transient failures are retried with fresh sessions, and missing inputs become free notes. Persistent source failures appear in the summary. No public endpoint can be guaranteed never to change; monitoring should inspect coverage as well as run success.

Can I send results to a spreadsheet? Yes. Use dataset downloads or Apify integrations with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n and webhooks. Retain the store and product keys when joining observations.
