Morrisons Scraper — UK grocery prices GBP

Morrisons scraper for UK grocery prices on groceries.morrisons.com: title, GBP price, pack size, unit price, brand, offer text, image and product URL — one clean Dataset row per product.

HTTP-only (curl_cffi + Chrome TLS). Calls the public storefront product-pages search JSON used by the Morrisons groceries SPA (Ocado Smart Platform). No Playwright. No login.

Proxy: Default Apify RESIDENTIAL with country GB. Datacenter IPs sometimes get 403 — soft-fail error row (honest), not fake empty success.

Keywords: morrisons scraper · morrisons prices · UK grocery scraper · morrisons products · supermarket prices UK

Limits

• Search results only (no nutrition / ingredients enrichment in v0.1).
• Ratings appear when Morrisons returns a review count; not every SKU has them.
• Source site: groceries.morrisons.com Terms & Conditions of Sale (consumer grocery). Not my.morrisons.com account ToU.
• UK database rights still apply; use for your own analysis / comparison workflows.
• robots.txt disallows /api/ for some bots — this Actor uses the same storefront JSON path the website loads in-browser.
