## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Mercadona Grocery Scraper

> Export Mercadona's full grocery catalog — product name, price, price-per-unit, packaging, brand, EAN barcode, origin and ingredients — to JSON, CSV or Excel.

**📥 [Input](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/mercadona-grocery-scraper/input-schema) · 📤 [Output](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/mercadona-grocery-scraper/output-schema) · 💰 [Pricing](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/mercadona-grocery-scraper/pricing) · ▶️ [Examples](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/mercadona-grocery-scraper/examples)**

### What you get

Structured grocery-price data from Mercadona, Spain's largest supermarket chain. Each product record includes:

- **Identity** — product ID, name, brand, slug, EAN barcode, product URL and thumbnail.
- **Pricing** — current price, previous price and a "price dropped" flag, plus price-per-unit and reference unit (per kg / per L) for clean like-for-like comparison.
- **Format** — packaging, unit size, size format, pack size, VAT rate and variable-weight flag.
- **Catalog** — category name and full category path, new-arrival and availability flags.
- **Details** (optional) — origin country, legal name, ingredients, allergens, suppliers and full-resolution photos.

Region-aware: pick the warehouse (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla and more) to get prices and availability for that area.

### Who is it for

- Price-intelligence and competitive-monitoring teams tracking Spanish grocery retail.
- CPG brands and suppliers auditing shelf presence, pricing and pack formats.
- Market researchers, data journalists and analysts building grocery price indexes.

### How to use it

1. Enter one or more **category IDs** (e.g. `112`) or leave empty to sweep the whole catalog.
2. Optionally add **keywords** to keep only matching products, and pick a **warehouse** region.
3. Keep **Fetch product details** on for EAN, ingredients and photos, or turn it off to pay listing-only.
4. Set **Max Products** and run. Export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Mercadona account or cookies?** No. Everything runs without any login.

**Are failed or empty runs charged?** No. You only pay for real product records that are returned. An empty run costs nothing.

**Can I get prices for a specific city?** Yes — choose the warehouse that matches the region you care about.

**What is the details add-on?** With details on, the actor fetches each product's detail page to add EAN, origin, ingredients, allergens, suppliers and photos. Turn it off to collect listing fields only.
