ALDI Australia Scraper

Pull the entire ALDI Australia grocery catalogue at scale — product names, AUD prices, was-prices, special-buy promotions, unit pricing, pack sizes, brands, images, categories, and stock flags, one clean row per product. Search by keyword or paste any aldi.com.au URL, sort five ways, and collect unlimited results. Built for grocery price analysts, retail intelligence teams, and deal aggregators who need fresh ALDI AU pricing without manually clicking through the online catalogue page by page.

Why This Scraper?

• Keyword search OR URL input — type "tim tams", "milk", or "olive oil" and get matching products instantly. The leading alternative is URL-only, forcing you to hand-build category links; here you search like a shopper.
• Special-buy & on-sale detection — every discounted product is flagged with onSale: true plus the original wasPrice, so you can isolate ALDI's rotating Special Buys and weekly specials in one pass.
• True unit-price comparison — pricePerUnit is normalized ALDI's way (e.g. "$1.71 per 100 g"), letting you compare cost-per-gram across pack sizes instead of just sticker price.
• Full AUD pricing on every row — current price, was-price, and currency code (AUD) captured for each product, ready for spreadsheets and price-tracking dashboards.
• Five sort orders — Best match, Name A–Z, Name Z–A, Price low→high, and Price high→low, so the cheapest unit prices or newest deals surface first.
• Brand, pack size & age-restriction flags — brand, packSize, and an ageRestricted flag (alcohol and restricted items) on every product, not just a name and price.
• Product images, hi-res — primary imageUrl plus a full images[] gallery delivered at 600px, ready to drop into a catalogue feed or content site.
• Unlimited results — set maxResults: 0 to capture an entire category or search; no 20-item ceiling, no pagination links to chase.
• Whole-catalogue coverage — works across every ALDI Australia category from pantry and fresh produce to Special Buys, with SKU, categories path, and promotional badges on each row.

Getting Started

Simple Keyword Search

Just name a product — no URLs required:

{
    "searchTerms": ["tim tams"]
}

Multiple Searches, Cheapest First

Search several products at once and surface the lowest unit prices first:

{
    "searchTerms": ["olive oil", "milk", "coffee"],
    "sortBy": "price_asc",
    "maxResults": 50
}

Whole Category from a URL

Paste any ALDI Australia category, product, or search URL — filters already in the URL are applied automatically. Set maxResults to 0 to capture the full category:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.aldi.com.au/products/pantry/"
    ],
    "maxResults": 0
}

Advanced — Keywords and URLs Combined

Mix keyword searches with pasted URLs in a single run:

{
    "searchTerms": ["dark chocolate", "sparkling water"],
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.aldi.com.au/products/pantry/",
        "https://www.aldi.com.au/results?q=chips"
    ],
    "sortBy": "name_asc",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Tips for Best Results

• Test small, then scale — set maxResults to 20–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches what you need, then raise it or set 0 for everything.
• Capture a full category with maxResults: 0 — paste a category URL and set the cap to 0 to collect every product in that category, then pair it with price_asc sort to surface the cheapest unit prices first.
• Isolate deals with the onSale flag — after a run, filter rows where onSale is true to get just the current specials and Special Buys, then sort by the wasPrice − price gap to rank by savings.
• Compare cost-per-unit, not sticker price — use pricePerUnit rather than price when benchmarking across brands; a larger pack often wins on cost-per-100g even at a higher shelf price.
• Run keyword searches for moving targets — keyword searches always reflect the live range, so they catch newly added products and weekly specials that fixed category URLs can miss.
• Combine keywords and URLs in one run — mix searchTerms and startUrls together to cover specific products and whole categories in a single pass.
• Use sort to shape your dataset — name_asc keeps catalogue exports tidy and stable, while price_desc surfaces premium products first for assortment analysis.
