AB Vassilopoulos Scraper — Greek Supermarket Products & Prices

Scrape the product catalog of ab.gr, the online shop of AB Vassilopoulos — Greece's #1/#2 supermarket chain by market share (part of Ahold Delhaize). Get product names, prices, unit prices, promotions, brands and stock status as clean structured JSON. No login, no cookies, no browser automation.

Search by keyword or browse a whole category. Built for price monitoring, competitor analysis, assortment tracking and market research — the first grocery price actor covering the Greek market.

What it does

This actor reads AB Vassilopoulos' own product API directly (the same Ahold Delhaize storefront platform that powers delhaize.be), so you get the same prices and data a shopper sees on the website — without rendering pages in a browser. It's fast, stable and cheap to run.

• Keyword search — pass a Greek search term (γάλα, ψωμί, ελαιόλαδο) and get matching products.
• Category browse — pass an ab.gr category code to pull a whole department.
• Promotions — discounted prices and promo flags are included.
• Unit prices — price-per-litre / price-per-kilo included for comparison shopping.

Each product is one record:

How to scrape AB Vassilopoulos data

1. Open the actor and set your Search Query in Greek (for example γάλα) — or leave it empty and set a Category code to browse a department.
2. Set Max Results to the number of products you want.
3. Keep the default Proxy Configuration (Greek residential proxy recommended — ab.gr runs Dynatrace bot detection, low severity but geo-scoped IPs avoid friction).
4. Click Start. When the run finishes, download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it from the API.

Input example

{
  "searchQuery": "ελαιόλαδο",
  "maxResults": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GR"
  }
}

Browsing a category

{
  "category": "003",
  "maxResults": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "GR"
  }
}

Category codes are visible in the API responses (firstLevelCategory.code) or can be derived by browsing the site and inspecting network requests. If you're unsure of a code, use keyword search instead — it covers the same catalog.

Common use cases

• Price monitoring — track AB Vassilopoulos prices over time and compare against other Greek grocers.
• Promotion tracking — capture discounted items and offer prices.
• Assortment analysis — see which products and brands a category carries.
• Market research — build a dataset of Greek grocery prices for analysis. This is the first actor covering the Greek grocery vertical, opening a market with no existing coverage.

Cost estimate

Pay-per-result pricing: ~$0.005 per run start plus ~$0.002 per scraped product. A 100-product run costs roughly $0.70; a 1,000-product run roughly $2.50. Usage cost only settles in your Apify billing after the run reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run (before the run finishes) will undercount what you're actually charged.

Tips

• For a full category, set a higher Max Results and use the Category input.
• Prices can vary over time; run the actor on a schedule to keep your data fresh.
• The actor uses ab.gr's own data API (the same Ahold Delhaize platform as Delhaize Belgium). If the site ships a major update, the internal query identifier can change and a run may fail with a clear message — set the advanced Persisted Query Hash input to recover, or report it and it will be updated.

FAQ

Does this need my ab.gr login? No. The actor only reads public catalog data. No account, password or cookies are required.

Can I get the barcode (EAN)? No. ab.gr does not publish an EAN/GTIN in its product API. The sku field is AB Vassilopoulos' own internal code.

What language are product names in? Greek — ab.gr's product catalog is Greek-only.

Is this legal? The actor collects publicly available product information. You are responsible for using the data in line with ab.gr's terms and applicable law.
