Giant Tiger Products Scraper — Canadian Discount Retail

Giant Tiger Products Scraper — Canadian Discount Retail

---

Scrape Giant Tiger (gianttiger.com), the Canadian discount retailer, as structured product data. Point the Actor at the site root for the whole catalogue, at any collection (grocery, dairy, home, apparel, toys…) or at a search keyword, and it returns every product with its CAD price, compare-at price, availability, variants, SKU, image, tags, category path and description.

Data source: the store's public Shopify JSON endpoints (/products.json, /collections/{handle}/products.json, /search/suggest.json). No login, no cookies, no browser — 250 products per request.

⚙️ Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
url	String	(required)	A gianttiger.com URL: the site root for the whole catalogue, a collection such as https://www.gianttiger.com/collections/grocery, or a search such as https://www.gianttiger.com/search?q=towel.
maxItems	Integer	0	Max products to return (0 = all). The full catalogue holds tens of thousands of products (250 per request), so set a limit unless you need everything.
proxyConfiguration	Object	Apify Proxy (auto)	Proxy settings.

Example Input

{
  "url": "https://www.gianttiger.com/collections/grocery",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Getting your start URL

1. Browse gianttiger.com to a department or category — the address looks like https://www.gianttiger.com/collections/dairy-and-eggs
2. Copy the full URL from your browser and paste it as the url input (?page= and sort parameters are ignored; the French /fr/ prefix is accepted)
3. Use https://www.gianttiger.com for the complete catalogue, or https://www.gianttiger.com/search?q=keyword for a keyword

Notes

• price is the lowest variant price; compareAtPrice is filled only when the product is marked down. variantTitles lists sizes / colours for multi-variant products (apparel, footwear) and is null for single-variant items such as groceries.
• category is derived from the store's L1/L2/L3_category_en tags; the raw tags field also carries the French labels, province availability (mms_province_code) and shipping flags (shippable, in_store_only).
• Search URLs use Shopify's predictive search, which returns the 10 best matches only, without variants, SKU or dates. For complete results use the collection the product belongs to.
• Shopify's catalogue feed does not expose per-store stock; available reflects online orderability.
