Smyths Stock Checker & API: Store Stock, Pokemon & Restocks

Smyths Stock Checker & API: Store Stock, Pokemon & Restock Alerts

See how many units of a toy every Smyths Toys store near you has right now. For every product you get the nearby stores, nearest first: units in stock ("7 In Stock", "15+ In Stock", "Out of stock"), store name, address, postcode, opening hours, click & collect and distance, plus home delivery stock, the live price, was price, discount and the expected stock date of pre-orders and sold-out items. Search by keyword (pokemon, pokemon cards, lego, nee doh), smythstoys.com product link or product code; check stores by postcode or town, by store name, or all stores of the country.

Works for all Smyths countries: United Kingdom (incl. Northern Ireland), Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Scheduled runs with Only report changes become Smyths restock alerts: a row only when a store gets a product back, gets a delivery (units went up), 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 Smyths store stock. No login, no app: a Smyths stock checker online, Smyths scraper and Smyths Toys API that returns clean JSON, CSV or Excel.

Stock messages come in the site's language (5 Auf Lager, 9 Op voorraad, Rupture de Stock); stockStatus and unitsInStock are the same in every country. A bad product link, an unknown store name, or a place with no Smyths store nearby 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.

smythstoys.com is protected against bots: the Actor opens it in a real browser through a residential UK proxy ($0.015, "Smyths session"). One session checks about 8 products at all your stores (16 with Home delivery stock off), so a run with 1-8 products pays one.

Example	Cost
20 Pokemon products at the 10 stores nearest to one postcode	~$0.57 (200 rows + 3-5 sessions)
1 product at every UK store	~$0.35 (133 rows + 1 session)
Restock alert: 5 products near 2 postcodes every hour, nothing changed	~$0.016 per run

FAQ

How do I check Smyths stock near me? Put your postcode or town into Postcodes or towns and the product into Keywords (or its link or code into Check products). Each row is one nearby store with its stock.

Is the number of units exact? It is the count smythstoys.com shows for click & collect at that store: exact up to 15, then "15+". Shelves move during the day, so a store with 1-2 units may be sold out when you arrive.

Can I check Pokemon cards at Smyths? Yes: search pokemon cards, pokemon elite trainer box or pokemon tcg to get every Pokémon TCG product with its stock at each store near you, plus the home delivery stock and the expected date of upcoming sets.

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

How do I get Smyths restock alerts (instead of a Discord bot)? 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.

The Smyths stock checker on the site is not working or not accurate. Is this the same data? It is the same stock data the site's "check store stock" uses, for all stores at once, without clicking store by store.

Where do I find the product code? At the end of the product link (…/p/253307) or in the code column of any run.

Tips

• Rows = products × stores, so start with a few stores and Only in stock or Minimum units.
• One request covers all stores of the country: All stores costs no extra time, only rows.
• For a watchlist, use Check products with product links: the same products every run, no search noise.
• Turn off Home delivery stock when you only need store stock: twice as many products per session.
• Use a separate Monitor name for each scheduled task.

Limits

• One country per run; product codes differ between some countries (UK and Ireland share them).
• Up to 20 postcodes or towns per run and 150 stores per location.
• Searches follow Smyths' own search order.
