Big W Stock Checker & API: Store Stock, Pokemon & Restocks

Big W Stock Checker & API: Store Stock, Pokemon & Restock Alerts

See which Big W stores near you have a product right now. For every product you get the nearby Big W stores, nearest first: in stock, low stock or out of stock at the store, click & collect (pick up) and Direct to Boot, store name, address, phone, opening hours and distance, plus the price in the store's state, was price and clearance, online stock and the home delivery options for your postcode. Search by keyword (pokemon cards, pokemon, lego, nee doh), bigw.com.au product link, article code or barcode; check stores by postcode or suburb, by store name, or all 178 Big W stores in Australia in one request per product.

Scheduled runs with Only report changes become Big W restock alerts: a row only when a store gets a product back, goes from low stock to in stock (a delivery), runs low, sells out, the price changes, or a new product appears in your search (a new Pokemon TCG set).

Use cases: track products & prices, get deal & restock alerts, build market datasets of Big W store stock. No login, no app: a Big W stock checker online, Big W store stock check and Big W API that returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

🚗 Pick up and Direct to Boot	pickupAvailable and directToBoot per store, home delivery options to your postcode
💲 State prices	Big W prices by state: each row has the price of the store's state, was price and clearance
🔔 Restock alerts	back_in_stock, restocked, low_stock, out_of_stock, price_drop, new_item, with restock history and the usual restock weekday of each store
✅ Works on the free Apify plan	No proxy setup, no cookies to paste: the Big W session is handled for you

Example

Input: keyword pokemon, postcode 2000 (Sydney CBD), 10 nearest stores. Real run, 21 Oct 2026:

Big W shows stock levels, not unit counts. A bad product link, an unknown store name, a place with no Big W nearby, or a product whose store stock Big W hides returns a row with error (free).

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per run and $0.00249 per returned row: a product at a store ($2.49 per 1 000 rows). Apify Scale plan: 10% less on rows, Business plan and above: 20% less.

bigw.com.au stock is protected against bots: the Actor opens the site in a real browser through a residential Australian proxy ($0.05, "Big W session"). One session checks about 70 products at all your stores and is reused by your next runs for up to 100 minutes, so a run pays one session at most, and frequent scheduled runs mostly none.

Example	Cost
20 Pokemon products at the 10 stores nearest to one postcode	~$0.55 (200 rows + 1 session)
1 product at all 178 Big W stores	~$0.49 (178 rows + 1 session)
Restock alert: 5 products near 2 postcodes every hour, nothing changed	~$0.026 per run (a session every second run)

FAQ

How do I check Big W stock near me? Put your postcode or suburb into Postcodes or suburbs and the product into Keywords (or its link, code or barcode into Check products). Each row is one nearby store with its stock.

Does it show how many units a store has? No: Big W itself shows only In stock / Low stock / Out of stock per store, and so does this Actor. "Low stock" usually means a few units left.

Can I check Pokemon cards at Big W? Yes: search pokemon cards, pokemon elite trainer box or pokemon tcg to get every Pokémon TCG product Big W sells in stores with its stock at each store near you. For some hot new sets Big W hides store stock completely (also on its own site): those come back as a free row with error, with online stock in inStockOnline.

When does Big W restock Pokemon? Schedule this Actor with Only report changes: every delivery shows up as back_in_stock or restocked, and after a few weeks usualRestockDay shows the weekday your stores usually get theirs.

How do I get Big W restock alerts? Add the products (or a search) and your postcode, turn on Only report changes, save it as a task and schedule it every 30-60 minutes. Connect email, Slack or Google Sheets in Integrations.

Is this the same as the Big W stock checker on the site? It is the same stock data the product page uses for "check stock in store", for all your stores at once, without picking store by store.

Why are marketplace products missing? Products of Big W Marketplace sellers are shipped by the sellers and are never in Big W stores, so searches check only products sold by Big W.

Where do I find the article code? At the end of the product link (…/p/6079238) or in the code column of any run.

Tips

• Rows = products × stores, so start with a few stores and Only in stock.
• One request covers all stores: All Big W stores costs no extra time, only rows.
• For a watchlist, use Check products with product links: the same products every run, no search noise.
• Use a separate Monitor name for each scheduled task.

Limits

• Australia only (Big W has no stores elsewhere).
• Up to 20 postcodes or suburbs per run and 1 000 products per run.
• Stock levels, not unit counts; searches follow Big W's own order.
• Clothing sold in sizes is skipped: Big W keeps its store stock per size and colour only.
