Coles Australia Grocery Scraper — Prices, Specials & Unit Prices

Extract product and price data from Coles (coles.com.au), one of Australia's largest supermarkets. Search by keyword, crawl any category or the whole store, or pull the full On Special catalogue. Get current and previous price, savings, unit price ($/100g, $/L), promotion type, stock availability, purchase limits and category, in one clean table.

Built for reliability: it runs on Australian residential proxies, paces its requests and recovers automatically from bot challenges, so your scheduled price-monitoring runs keep succeeding.

Tips

• Weekly specials: enable specials and schedule the Actor weekly (Coles specials change on Wednesdays).
• Whole store: allCategories: true crawls every department (tens of thousands of products). Set maxItems: 0 for no limit.
• Category slugs: open a category on coles.com.au and copy the part after /browse/, e.g. meat-seafood/beef-veal.
