Why Coles Specials Scraper

Most other Coles scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🗄️ Inaccurate, cached, stale data — last week's catalogue is worthless
• 🧩 Low-detail data — a name and a price, never the was price or the offer
• 💸 Pay more to get the same data
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Coles Specials Scraper is scraped live on every run, priced honestly, and actively maintained.

Trimmed for readability. Every row is flat — each value is its own column, so CSV and Excel exports need no clean-up.

A multi-buy deal fills the offer columns instead of the was price:

  "name": "Layered Fingers Chocolate Biscuits",
  "brand": "Cadbury",
  "size": "120g",
  "price": 5.5,

FAQs

How often do Coles specials change?

Coles refreshes its specials weekly. Add a weekly schedule to this Actor and every run gives you the fresh catalogue — ideal for price trackers, deal newsletters and catalogue apps.

Are prices the same in every Coles store?

No. Prices, stock and specials are per store. Leave Stores empty for store 584 (Coles Burwood East, VIC), or add the ids or coles.com.au/find-stores URLs of the stores you want. Each store is scraped separately and every row carries its store_id.

How do I get every special of the week?

Coles shows at most about 5,000 deals in any one listing, and a typical week has around 7,000 specials. So scrape category by category — put the categories in the input (see the second input example) and set Max Deals per Listing to 5000.

Which categories can I use?

Any Coles category, by slug, id or URL. The top-level ones: pantry, drinks, dairy-eggs-fridge, bakery, frozen, meat-seafood, fruit-vegetables, health-beauty, baby, pet, chips-chocolates-snacks. Go deeper with a path such as dairy-eggs-fridge/milk, or paste the URL of any coles.com.au category page.

Why is was_price empty on some deals?

Multi-buy offers have no was price — the saving comes from buying several. Look at offer_description, multi_buy_min_quantity, multi_buy_price_each and multi_buy_total_price instead.

Will I be billed twice for the same deal?

Not within a listing. Coles repeats some products as sponsored placements at the top of a listing; the Actor keeps each product once. If you pick All specials together with another special type, or two overlapping categories, the same deal is scraped once per listing.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every row is flat, so the dataset exports cleanly to CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or straight into Google Sheets through Apify integrations.
