## 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`).

# README

## Woolworths Scraper — prices, specials, nutrition & barcodes

Scrape **Woolworths** (woolworths.com.au), Australia's biggest supermarket: **search**, **categories**, the **specials catalogues** (half price, lower shelf price, multi-buy "2 for $10"…) or the **full catalogue**. Optional **product details** with **nutrition table**, **ingredients**, **allergens**, **Health Star Rating** and **country of origin**.

### Modes

| Mode | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Search** | Products matching your keywords (milk, coffee pods, tim tam, nappies…) — optionally specials only |
| **Categories** | Any aisle or sub-aisle (`fruit-veg`, `dairy-eggs-fridge`, `pantry/coffee`…) or a Woolworths category URL |
| **Specials** | Half price (~1,700 products), lower shelf price, buy more save more, seasonal, online only |
| **Full catalogue** | Every department, de-duplicated |

### What you get per product

- Name, brand, size, product ID (stockcode), URL, image
- **Price**, **was price**, **on special**, half price, multi-buy, savings in $ and %, **offer text** ("Save $5.50", "2 for $12.00")
- **Unit price** (per kg / L / 100 g / each)
- **Barcode (EAN/GTIN)** — included for free
- In stock, available, new, online only
- Category, sub-category, department, **Health Star Rating**, customer rating and reviews

#### With "Include product details"

- **Nutrition table**: per serving **and** per 100 g / 100 mL, serving size, servings per pack
- **Ingredients**, allergens ("contains" and "may contain"), allergy & dietary statements (vegetarian, gluten free…)
- **Country of origin** ("Made in Australia")
- Storage instructions, full description, all product images

### Example

```json
{
  "name": "Arnott's Cruskits Original Crispbreads 125g",
  "price": 3.5,
  "wasPrice": 4,
  "isOnSpecial": true,
  "offer": "Save $0.50",
  "unitPriceText": "$2.80 / 100G",
  "barcode": "9310072000831",
  "healthStarRating": 3.5,
  "allergens": "Milk, Gluten, Soy, Wheat",
  "countryOfOrigin": "Made in Australia",
  "nutrition": [{ "nutrient": "Energy", "perServing": "213.0kJ", "per100": "1700.0kJ" }],
  "url": "https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/36059/arnott-s-cruskits-original-crispbreads"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring** and **competitor tracking** for FMCG brands and retailers
- **Weekly specials** alerts, deal newsletters and catalogue apps
- **Product databases** with barcodes, ingredients, allergens and nutrition
- Compare with Coles using our [Coles Scraper](https://apify.com/rt-solutions/coles-scraper) or both at once with the [Woolworths & Coles Scraper](https://apify.com/rt-solutions/au-supermarkets-scraper)

### Pricing

- **$0.70 per 1,000 products** (barcode included)
- **+ $0.50 per 1,000** with product details — nutrition, ingredients, allergens, origin (optional)

### FAQ

**Which store's prices?** The standard online prices shown on woolworths.com.au without a selected store; in-store prices may differ.

**How many products?** "Max products" applies to each keyword, category or special type. Search, categories and specials are paginated to the end. Grocery departments hold a few hundred to a few thousand products; non-food departments (Electronics, Home & Lifestyle, Beauty) also include Woolworths' Everyday Market sellers and can hold hundreds of thousands, so set a limit.

**Is it reliable?** The scraper keeps the site's cookies like a browser and retries automatically; a section that can't be read produces a warning row instead of failing the run.

echo '{

  ],

    "fruit-veg"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,rt-solutions/woolworths-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
