Systembolaget Scraper — Swedish Alcohol Catalog & Prices

Scrape product data from Systembolaget, Sweden's state-owned alcohol retail monopoly. Systembolaget is the only retailer allowed to sell beverages above 3.5% ABV in Sweden, which makes its catalog the single authoritative source for alcohol prices and availability in the country — roughly 27,000 wines, beers, spirits, ciders, and alcohol-free alternatives.

Search by keyword or browse a full category, and get clean JSON with names, prices in SEK, alcohol percentage, volume, country of origin, producer, vintage, and organic labels. No login, no cookies, no browser required.

What you get

• Full catalog access — around 27,000 products across every category Systembolaget sells
• Prices in SEK — the official state retail price, updated as Systembolaget updates it
• Product details — ABV, volume, country, producer, vintage, organic / ethical flags
• Stock signal — whether a product is currently orderable or out of stock
• Direct product URLs — deep links to each product page on systembolaget.se

Use cases

• Price monitoring — track Swedish state alcohol prices over time, including yearly price revisions
• Assortment analysis — which producers, countries, and styles are listed in the Swedish monopoly
• Import and export research — check whether your product (or a competitor's) is in the Swedish assortment and at what price
• Beverage market intelligence — Sweden is one of the largest wine markets in the Nordics; the monopoly catalog is its complete picture
• Whisky, wine, and beer databases — enrich your own product data with official Swedish pricing

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQuery	string	Search keyword, e.g. whisky, rioja, IPA, or a producer name. Defaults to whisky when both query and category are empty.
category	string	Optional top-level category filter (Swedish): Öl, Vin, Sprit, Cider & blanddrycker, Alkoholfritt. Works alone or combined with a query.
maxResults	integer	Maximum number of products to return. Default 100.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy settings. Datacenter proxies work; Swedish residential (RESIDENTIAL, country SE) is the fallback if you ever see blocks.

Example input:

{
    "searchQuery": "whisky",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }

Browse a full category instead of searching:

    "category": "Öl",
    "maxResults": 5000,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Wines additionally carry vintage when Systembolaget publishes it.

How to scrape Systembolaget data

1. Open the actor and press Try for free (or run it via the Apify API).
2. Enter a searchQuery (any language works — the catalog search matches product names, styles, and producers) or set a category to browse it in full.
3. Set maxResults. For the complete catalog, leave the query empty, leave the category empty per run or loop over categories, and raise maxResults accordingly.
4. Run the actor. Results land in the dataset and can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or fetched through the Apify API.

To run it on a schedule (for example weekly price tracking), create a Schedule in the Apify Console and point it at this actor with your saved input.

FAQ

Is scraping Systembolaget legal?

The actor only collects publicly available product information (names, prices, attributes) that anyone can see on systembolaget.se. It does not collect personal data and does not log in. Always check that your use of the data complies with applicable law and the site's terms.

How current is the data?

Every run fetches live data from Systembolaget's own product API — the same source the website uses. Prices and availability are as fresh as the moment you run the actor.

Why do some products have no image or vintage?

Systembolaget does not publish images for every article, and vintage only exists for wines where a year is relevant. Fields that are absent at the source are simply omitted from the item.

Does it need Swedish proxies?

No. The product API responds to datacenter proxies (the default useApifyProxy: true is enough). If Systembolaget ever tightens access, switch the proxy configuration to the RESIDENTIAL group with country SE.

Can I get the whole catalog in one run?

Yes. Set maxResults to 30000 with an empty search query and the actor pages through the complete assortment. A full-catalog run takes a few minutes since data comes from a JSON API, not rendered pages.
