Grocery Product Scraper for Instacart

🛒 Grocery Product Scraper for Instacart

Extract product data from Instacart across 70+ US grocery retailers — Costco, Safeway, Walmart, Target, Sprouts, Kroger, Publix, Wegmans, Whole Foods and more. The Instacart Scraper pulls structured product details from individual product pages, retailer storefronts, and cross-retailer search results in one run.

✨ Features

• 🏷️ Rich Product Data: Names, brands, sizes, images, prices, sale prices, availability, dietary attributes, and category.
• 🏬 Three Source Types: Product detail pages (PDPs), retailer storefronts (~32 featured items per store), and cross-retailer search (~14 items per query, mixed retailers).
• 🇺🇸 Multi-Retailer Coverage: A single run can sweep Costco, Safeway, Walmart, Target, Sprouts and any other Instacart partner store.
• ⚡ Fast & Lightweight: Plain HTTP via CheerioCrawler — no browser overhead. Each request returns a fully populated product feed item.
• 📍 ZIP-Aware: Records the postal code context against every item (Instacart prices vary by ZIP).

🛠️ How It Works

1. Configure the input – Provide any mix of Instacart URLs, retailer slugs, search queries, and product IDs.
2. Run the Actor – It fetches each page, parses the embedded Apollo state and JSON-LD, and emits one record per product.
3. Download the dataset – Get clean JSON / CSV / Excel output ready for analysis, monitoring, or further enrichment.

📥 Input

All input fields are optional. Combine them freely — for example, scrape three retailer storefronts plus a few direct PDPs in one run.

Field	Type	Description	Example
startUrls	array	Any Instacart URLs: PDPs (/products/...), retailer storefronts (/store/{retailer}), or cross-retailer search (/store/s?k=...). Unsupported URL families are skipped.	[{ "url": "https://www.instacart.com/store/costco" }]
retailerSlugs	string[]	Retailer slugs to scrape as storefronts. Equivalent to passing /store/{slug} start URLs.	["costco", "safeway", "target"]
searchQueries	string[]	Free-text queries run against cross-retailer search. Only the first SSR page is captured (~14 items per query).	["milk", "bread"]
productIds	string[]	Instacart product IDs fetched directly as PDPs.	["7079", "20630136"]
defaultRetailerSlug	string	Retailer to attach as ?retailerSlug= when fetching productIds. Leave empty for Instacart's default market.	"safeway"
seedFromHome	boolean	If true, fetch https://www.instacart.com/ and enqueue every retailer storefront found on it.	false
postalCode	string	US ZIP code recorded against each item. Instacart defaults to 94105 (San Francisco).	"10001"
maxItems	integer	Stop pushing to the dataset after this many products. 0 = unlimited.	50
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Instacart works from any IP for these endpoints; a US proxy gives more accurate location defaults.	{ "useApifyProxy": false }

📊 Sample Output Data

Every record follows the same shape regardless of source (PDP, storefront, or search). The source field tells you where each item came from.
