Asda Scraper

Scrape the full Asda groceries catalogue from asda.com/groceries — product names, brands, prices, price-per-unit, promotions, ratings, images and full category paths. No cookies, no login.

Why use this actor?

Asda is one of the UK's big-four supermarkets, so its online prices are a benchmark for grocery price monitoring, competitor analysis, and product research. The storefront sits behind Cloudflare and has no public product feed, which makes it hard to collect at scale. This actor gives you the whole catalogue as clean, flat JSON rows you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, database, or price-tracking pipeline.

Typical users: pricing and category teams at other retailers and brands, market-research firms, price-comparison sites, and FMCG suppliers checking how their products are listed and priced.

What you get

• The full browsable catalogue: about 48,900 distinct products, deduplicated and complete.
• Prices pinned to a single delivery area (England by default) so runs are comparable over time.
• Price-per-unit (e.g. £7.15/KG), pack size, promotion labels (e.g. Rollback), ratings and review counts.
• Full category path (department > aisle > shelf) and a product image URL.

How to scrape Asda data

1. Set Max products. Leave it low (e.g. 20) for a quick sample, or set it to 50000 to pull the whole catalogue of ~48,900 products.
2. Optionally set a Search query (for example heinz baked beans or oat milk) to search the catalogue by keyword instead of browsing categories. This uses Asda's own catalogue search, so results are the same products you'd find using the search box on the site.
3. Optionally set a Category filter to a single department name (for example Frozen Food or Beer, Wine & Spirits) to scrape just that part of the shop — this works standalone (full department) or combined with Search query (search within one department).
4. Pick a Price zone. Asda prices and availability vary by delivery area, so the actor pins one zone: England (EN, default), Northern Ireland (NI), Scotland (SC) or Wales (WA).
5. Provide a Bright Data API key (input field or the BRIGHT_DATA_API_KEY environment variable). It is used once per run to read the storefront's search key past Cloudflare — everything after that is read directly from the catalogue API.
6. Run the actor. Results stream into the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel or fed to an API.

Under the hood the actor reads Asda's own catalogue index directly: with no search query it walks the category tree and paginates each shelf (deduplicating every product by its Asda product ID, so you get each item once even when it appears in several promotions); with a search query it runs a keyword search against the same index instead, matching what you'd get from the site's own search box.

Cost estimate

The catalogue is read from Asda's search API, which is fast and light. A full-catalogue run (~48,900 products) makes under 150 API calls plus a single Bright Data request. Most of the Apify cost is the per-result charge; the compute time is small because there is no browser rendering.

Limitations

• Prices and stock are delivery-area scoped. The actor pins one zone (England by default) so numbers are consistent; prices in other zones may differ slightly.
• The browsable catalogue is about 48,900 products. Asda's search index reports a higher raw record count (~104,000), but those extra rows are secondary/variant entries the storefront collapses and never shows individually; this actor returns one clean row per browsable product.
• Barcodes (EAN) and brand are populated for effectively all food and grocery lines (>98%). They are sparser across the non-food General Merchandise range (books, DVDs, George Home), where Asda's feed does not carry an EAN. Filter to a grocery category if you need near-complete barcode coverage.
• Nutrition and long descriptions live on the individual product pages and are not included in this catalogue export.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice. Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
