Coop Switzerland Scraper — Grocery Prices & Promotions

Scrape products, prices, unit prices, promotions, ratings, and images from coop.ch, Switzerland's #2 grocery retailer. Search any keyword and export clean, structured grocery data.

Why use this actor?

Coop is one half of the Swiss grocery duopoly (alongside Migros), with national coverage and its own online catalogue, private-label brands, and weekly promotions. Its prices and promo data are useful for price monitoring, competitor benchmarking, product matching, and market research. This actor turns a keyword search into a structured dataset you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, database, or price-comparison pipeline. Every product comes with its Coop product ID, current price, and — when the item is discounted — the original price and the promotion label shown on the site.

How to scrape Coop Switzerland data

1. Enter a search query in German or French (for example milch, kaffee, wein, lait, fromage).
2. Set Max Results to how many products you want. Coop's search endpoint returns every matching product in a single response (no crawling needed), so this simply caps how many rows you get back.
3. Provide a Bright Data API key (see "Anti-bot" below).
4. Run the actor. Results land in the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API.

Anti-bot: Bright Data Web Unlocker required

coop.ch is protected sitewide by DataDome — a plain HTTP request to the homepage or any internal API returns HTTP 403 with a x-datadome: protected header, and this holds for the search page and every internal search API endpoint we tested directly. To fetch pages reliably, this actor uses the Bright Data Web Unlocker (zone web_unlocker1).

You need a Bright Data account with a Web Unlocker zone. Provide the API key either:

• in the input field Bright Data API Key, or
• as the environment variable BRIGHT_DATA_API_KEY.

How it works

coop.ch's search results page is mostly a server-rendered shell — the product grid itself starts as skeleton placeholders and is filled in by a client-side request to a JSON search API. This actor calls that same API directly through Bright Data, so it gets the full structured product data (name, brand, price, promo, rating, images, category path) in a single request per search, without needing to parse HTML product tiles or run a browser.

Because that one request returns every matching product for a keyword (Coop's search does not require pagination the way most storefronts do), a typical run — even for hundreds of results — is a single Bright Data call. That keeps both the cost and the run time low.

Cost estimate

Bright Data Web Unlocker charges per request. Because a single request returns the full result set for a search (from a handful of matches to several hundred for a broad keyword like "bio"), the anti-bot cost per product is negligible — well under a cent per hundred results. Apify platform usage adds a small amount of compute time on top; a typical run completes in a few seconds. The run's usage cost only settles after the run status reports SUCCEEDED — reading the dataset mid-run undercounts the actual cost.

Limitations

• Prices and availability are national Coop online-catalogue values and may differ from a specific store.
• inStock reflects the "orderable online" signal from the search API; a small number of items can be listed but not orderable online even when a physical store carries them.
• A Bright Data Web Unlocker key is required; without it the actor cannot fetch pages.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.
