Oda Scraper — Norway Grocery Prices & Products

Scrape product data from Oda (formerly Kolonial.no), Norway's dominant online grocery delivery service, by keyword: names, brands, prices in NOK, unit prices, discounts, stock status and images.

Why use this actor?

Oda is the biggest online grocery in Norway — the equivalent of Tesco in the UK or REMA 1000 in Denmark for online delivery. There is no existing Apify actor covering it. If you're building a Nordic grocery price comparison tool, tracking NOK grocery inflation, monitoring your own products' pricing and promotions on Oda, or feeding grocery data into a meal-planning or budgeting app, this actor gives you structured product data without writing any scraping code yourself.

How to scrape Oda data

1. Enter a Norwegian search keyword (searchQuery), e.g. melk, kaffe, brød, ost, pasta. Leave it blank and the actor falls back to a sensible default so it still returns data.
2. Set maxResults to the number of products you want (default 100).
3. Run the actor. It calls Oda's own public search API directly — no browser, no login, no cookies required.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab, or pull them via the Apify API.

Under the hood, this actor calls Oda's public JSON search endpoint (oda.com/api/v1/search/mixed/) rather than parsing rendered HTML — it's faster, cheaper to run, and returns cleaner, more reliable data than scraping the page.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
searchQuery	String	No	Norwegian search keyword (e.g. "melk", "kaffe", "brød"). Falls back to "melk" if left empty so a blank run still returns data.
maxResults	Integer	No	Maximum number of products to return (default: 100, hard cap: 5000).
proxyConfiguration	Object	No	Apify proxy settings. Oda's search API has no anti-bot and is not geo-locked, so the free automatic proxy pool is enough — no residential proxy needed.

Output

Each result contains:

Field	Type	Example
name	String	"Tine Lettmelk 1% fett"
brand	String	"TINE"
price	Number	31.9
currency	String	"NOK"
originalPrice	Number	70.2 (only present on discounted items)
pricePerUnit	String	"18.23 kr/l"
discount	String	"Salg!" (only present on discounted items)
size	String	"1% fett, 1,75 l"
inStock	Boolean or null	true — false = out of stock, null = the source didn't state availability
sku / productId	String	"8143"
imageUrl	String	Primary product image URL
url	String	Full product page URL
scrapedAt	String	ISO 8601 timestamp

Note: Oda's API does not expose an EAN/barcode field for any product — this is a limitation of the source data, not the actor.

Example output

{
    "name": "Tine Lettmelk 1% fett",
    "brand": "TINE",
    "price": 31.9,
    "currency": "NOK",
    "pricePerUnit": "18.23 kr/l",
    "size": "1% fett, 1,75 l",
    "inStock": true,
    "sku": "8143",
    "productId": "8143",
    "imageUrl": "https://images.oda.com/local_products/7fa76433-c802-4e86-b529-d6c9f0f9b478.jpg",
    "url": "https://oda.com/no/products/8143-tine-tine-lettmelk-1-fett/",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-21T14:10:15.983Z"
}

A discounted item also carries originalPrice and discount:

{
    "name": "Friele Frokostkaffe Filtermalt",
    "brand": "Friele",
    "price": 41.9,
    "currency": "NOK",
    "originalPrice": 70.2,
    "discount": "Salg!",
    "pricePerUnit": "167.60 kr/kg",
    "size": "Filtermalt, 250 g",
    "inStock": true,
    "sku": "469",
    "productId": "469",
    "url": "https://oda.com/no/products/469-friele-frokostkaffe-filtermalt/",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-08-21T14:10:28.953Z"
}

Cost estimate

This actor uses roughly $0.002 per result plus a small per-run start fee (pay-per-event pricing, no compute-unit billing to track). A run of 1,000 products costs about $2. Each result is one Oda API call amortized across a 30-item page — there is no per-product detail fetch, so cost scales linearly and predictably with maxResults. Note: a run's usage cost only settles after the run reports SUCCEEDED — checking the dataset mid-run will show a cost far below the eventual total.

Limitations

• Oda's API does not publish EAN/GTIN barcodes for any product.
• category is not populated — Oda's search endpoint doesn't return category breadcrumbs (only its separate per-product detail endpoint does, at the cost of one extra request per item, which this actor doesn't make in v1).
• The search endpoint returns a fixed 30 items per page; this is a hard limit on Oda's side, not something the actor can override.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
• Respect Oda's terms of service and use responsibly.
