ALDI Stock Checker & API: Special Buys Stock by Store

ALDI Stock Checker & API: Special Buys Stock by Store

See which ALDI stores near any Australian postcode still have a Special Buy, the way aldi.com.au shows it: Stock available, Medium stock or Low/no stock. Check this week's Special Buys (latest, next, this week, upcoming or a date like 2026-10-17), a search (air fryer, heater), a category or exact product links, at up to 100 nearest stores per postcode, nearest first, with store address, suburb, state, distance and map link.

Every product also comes with price, unit price ($2.50 per 100 g), size, brand, Special Buys on-sale date ("On Sale Sat 17 Oct", "While Stocks Last"), category and image, so the same Actor is a full ALDI Australia scraper for prices and the Special Buys catalogue.

Scheduled runs with Only report changes become ALDI restock alerts: a row only when a store gets a product back in stock, its stock goes up or down, it sells out, a Special Buy goes on sale, the price changes, or a new product appears in your Special Buys, search or category.

Use cases: track products & prices, get deal & restock alerts, build Special Buys datasets for Australian deal sites. No login, no browser: an ALDI stock checker and ALDI API that returns JSON, CSV or Excel.

What makes it different

🏬 Stock at every store near you	The stock level ALDI shows for each store (in_stock, medium_stock, low_or_no_stock), up to 100 nearest stores per postcode, nearest first with distance in km; no other ALDI Actor has store stock
🛒 Special Buys by date	latest, next, this week, upcoming, all or an exact date: every Wednesday and Saturday range ALDI still lists, past ones with what is left, future ones before they go on sale
🔔 Restock alerts	back_in_stock, restocked, low_or_sold_out, stock_down, on_sale_now, price_drop, price_rise, new_product, store by store; unchanged rows are free
📍 Postcode in, stores out	Any postcode (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000): store id, address, suburb, state, coordinates and Google Maps link
📚 Whole catalogue too	Search, any category (Milk, Limited Time Only, Lower Prices, Super Savers, Christmas), five sort orders, every page to the end
🔗 Exact products	Paste aldi.com.au product links or SKUs for a fixed watchlist

FAQ

How do I check ALDI stock in store? Put the product link (or a search such as air fryer) and your postcode in the input. Each row is one nearby store with the stock level ALDI shows on its website: Stock available, Medium stock or Low/no stock.

Is there an ALDI Special Buys stock checker for Australia? Yes, this one: latest in Special Buys plus your postcode returns every product of the newest Special Buys range at every store near you, nearest first. Run it on Wednesday or Saturday morning before you go.

Does ALDI have an API for prices and stock? ALDI runs aldi.com.au on JSON endpoints, and this Actor calls them for you and returns clean rows, so you get a ready ALDI product and stock API without keys or setup. Call it from your code with the Apify API, or schedule it and download CSV / Excel.

Why do regular groceries have no store stock? ALDI Australia shows store stock only for Special Buys and other limited lines. Groceries get one row with price and unit price, and stockStatus empty.

What does not_on_sale_yet mean? The Special Buy goes on sale on a later date (onSaleDate): ALDI shows no store stock until then. Schedule the run with Only report changes to get on_sale_now when stock appears.

Can I get alerts when an item is back in stock? Yes: add the products or a Special Buys date, your postcode, turn on Only report changes, save it as a task and schedule it hourly or daily. Connect email, Slack or Google Sheets in Integrations.

Which states are covered? Every ALDI Australia store: NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD, SA and WA. ALDI has no stores in the NT and Tasmania.

Tips

• One stock request covers 10 stores: 10 stores per postcode = 1-2 requests per product.
• Use Only stores with stock to get only the stores worth the trip.
• For a restock watchlist, use Products with links: the same products every run. Use a separate Monitor name for each scheduled task.

Limits

• ALDI Australia (aldi.com.au) only.
• Stock is the level ALDI shows (three levels), not a unit count; ALDI publishes it only for Special Buys and limited lines.
• Prices are the aldi.com.au prices, the same in every store.
