Tesco Products Scraper

What does Tesco Products Scraper do?

Tesco Products Scraper is a Tesco product scraper and data extractor for collecting structured grocery listings from Tesco search, category, and tag-style pages. Provide a public Tesco groceries listing URL, choose the result limit, and receive product titles, brands, prices, unit pricing, promotions, ratings, availability, category placement, and direct product URLs.

The dataset is useful for grocery price monitoring, promotion intelligence, competitor research, assortment analysis, retail reporting, and ecommerce data pipelines. Results are saved as clean dataset items with empty values omitted, making them easier to export and analyze.

Why use Tesco Products Scraper?

• Price monitoring - Compare product prices and unit prices across repeated runs for staples, branded products, or seasonal searches.
• Promotion tracking - Capture promotion text and sponsored-result indicators to study Tesco offers and retail visibility.
• Catalog research - Analyze products by department, aisle, shelf, brand, rating, and product identifiers.
• Clean product records - Receive consistent field names, direct URLs, product images, timestamps, and page information for every result.
• Repeatable workflows - Run the Actor on demand or schedule recurring collections in Apify for historical comparisons.
• Automation-ready exports - Download data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or connect runs to APIs and workflow tools.

  "max_pages": 5
}

Output Data

The Actor writes one dataset item per product. The output table above documents the available field names and types. Empty and null-like values are omitted, so a product record may contain fewer fields when Tesco does not publish every detail. Numeric prices are returned as numbers, promotion messages are returned as an array, and scraped_at uses an ISO timestamp.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a small limit - Use results_wanted: 20 to validate the URL and output before collecting a larger dataset.
• Use consistent searches - Keep the same Tesco query when comparing prices, promotions, or assortment over time.
• Use complete listing URLs - Copy a public URL that already contains the search, category, or tag context you need.
• Set a practical page cap - Increase max_pages for larger collections, but keep it controlled for test runs.
• Schedule repeat runs - Daily or weekly schedules work well for price and promotion history.
• Expect optional fields - Products may omit ratings, promotions, sponsored identifiers, or category details when Tesco does not publish them.
