## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What can I get

- 🔍 **Search results** — any keyword across IGA's 13,000+ products, with brand and category filters and 5 sort orders
- 🗂️ **Whole categories & the whole catalogue** — every product of a category, or all 13 departments in one run
- 🔥 **Specials** — 3,000+ live deals with sale price, was-price, saving, % off and the date each deal ends
- 🏪 **Per-store prices** — IGA stores are independently owned, so price the same products at as many stores as you like
- 🥗 **Full details** — every image, ingredients, nutrition panels, allergens, country of origin and aisle / bay / shelf
- 🔁 **Only new or changed** — scheduled runs return just the products whose price, special or availability moved

### Why IGA Shop Scraper

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

- 🗄️ **Inaccurate, cached, stale data** — last week's specials are useless
- 🧩 **Low-detail data** — a name and a price, never the full picture
- 💸 **Pay more to get the same data** — $0.50 to $3.50 per 1,000 rows elsewhere
- 🪦 **Works today, breaks next month** — nobody maintains it

IGA Shop Scraper gets you fresh, detailed data, is priced honestly, and actively maintained.

### FAQs

#### Why do prices differ between stores?

IGA stores are independently owned, so each one sets its own prices, specials and range. Every row carries the store it was priced at (`store_number`, `store_name`, `store_state`). Put several stores in **Stores** to compare them side by side. Leave it empty for the site's own default store, 32600 (Ashcroft's IGA Erskine Park NSW).

#### How do I find a store?

Type a suburb (bondi), a postcode (3065), a store name or a store number into **Stores** — or paste the store's igashop.com.au link. For the full list of 540 stores with addresses, hours and coordinates, use [IGA Stores Scraper](https://apify.com/omkar-cloud/iga-stores-scraper).

#### What is a SKU?

IGA's product ID — the number at the end of every product link (`308953` in `.../arnotts-tim-tam-chocolate-original-308953`). Paste SKUs or full product links into **Products**.

#### How many products can one search or category return?

IGA serves the first 10,000 products of any listing. Enter `all` in **Categories** to scrape the whole catalogue: it runs department by department, so every department fits, and **Max Products per Input** goes up to 20,000.

#### How does Only New or Changed work?

Turn it on for scheduled runs. The first run returns every product as `NEW`. Every later run with the same input (or the same **Monitor Name**) returns only products that are new or whose price, was-price, special flag or availability changed — as `UPDATED`, with `changed_fields` listing what moved. Unchanged products are skipped and not billed.

#### Will I be charged twice for the same product?

No. A product that appears in several of your inputs at the same store is scraped and billed once per run. The same product at two stores is two rows — each with its own price.

#### What does "Full Product Details" add?

Every product image, the full ingredients list, the nutrition panel (every nutrient per 100 g and per serve), serving size, the allergens it contains, and the aisle, bay and shelf it sits on at that store. It adds $0.0006 per product. If the full details of a product can't be read, you keep the standard row and pay only the standard rate.

#### Does it give barcodes?

No. IGA does not publish barcodes on igashop.com.au.

#### Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every row is flat, so the dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML with one column per value.

#### Is this an official IGA product?

No. IGA Shop Scraper is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by IGA or Metcash.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search on igashop.com.au — each is searched separately. Rows carry `source_input` so you can tell keywords apart. Leave empty to scrape only categories, specials, products or URLs.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Categories to scrape in full — a slug (chocolate-blocks), an identifier (Chocolate_Blocks), a name, or an igashop.com.au category link. Enter `all` for the whole catalogue (scraped department by department).

## `scrapeSpecials` (type: `boolean`):

Also scrape every product on special at the store — sale price, was-price, saving, % off and the date the deal ends.

## `includeCategoryTree` (type: `boolean`):

Also push the store's full category tree — one row per category with its identifier, slug, link, depth, parent and path. Billed like a product row.

## `products` (type: `array`):

IGA SKUs (308953) or igashop.com.au product links. Always scraped with full details (billed at the detailed-product rate).

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Any mix of igashop.com.au product, category, search (/search?q=…) and specials links.

## `stores` (type: `array`):

IGA stores to price at — a store number (14859), postcode (2026), suburb or store name (bondi), or an igashop.com.au store link. Leave empty for the site's own default store (32600, Ashcroft's IGA Erskine Park NSW).

## `filterBrand` (type: `string`):

Only products of this brand, spelled as IGA spells it (Arnott's, Cadbury).

## `filterCategory` (type: `string`):

Only products in this category, by its display name (Chocolate Bars, Biscuits and Cookies). Applies to searches and specials.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order of the products in every listing.

## `minDiscountPercent` (type: `integer`):

Only products at least this much off their was-price (50 = half price or better). Products it drops are not billed.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Only products priced at or below this many dollars. Products it drops are not billed.

## `inStockOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only products the store has available right now. Products it drops are not billed.

## `maxResultsPerInput` (type: `integer`):

Cap per keyword, category, specials feed or URL, at each store. A single listing returns up to 10,000 products; `all` (the whole catalogue) up to 20,000.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Also scrape every listing product in full: every image, ingredients, nutrition panels and the aisle / bay / shelf it sits on. Adds $0.0006 per product.

## `onlyNewOrChanged` (type: `boolean`):

For scheduled runs: push only products that are new, or whose price, was-price, special flag or availability changed since the last run with the same input. Unchanged products are not billed.

## `monitorName` (type: `string`):

Optional name for the Only New or Changed history, so you can change the input and keep it. Leave empty to tie the history to the exact input.
