Coles Scraper: Coles Australia prices, specials and unit prices by store

Get Coles Australia products as clean rows: price, was-price, half-price and multibuy specials ("2 for $8"), unit price parsed into a number and a unit (and normalised to $/kg, $/L or $/each), stock, category, image, product link and the store that priced it. Search by keyword, paste any coles.com.au search, category, specials or product link, or pull this week's half-price catalogue.

Turn on Add barcode, ingredients and nutrition and every product also gets its barcode (GTIN/EAN), ingredients, allergens, dietary claims, country of origin and nutrition panel.

$1.00 per 1,000 products, platform usage included. No API key, no login, no proxy to configure.

Pricing

Pay per product delivered, platform usage included, plus a flat start fee per run.

Plan	Per 1,000 products	Barcode, ingredients and nutrition (per 1,000)	Run start
Free	$1.00	$2.50	$0.001
Bronze	$0.90	$2.25	$0.001
Silver	$0.80	$2.00	$0.001
Gold	$0.70	$1.75	$0.001

The details charge applies only to products that actually got them. Product links always come with their details and are charged as a product plus details. Searches with no results cost nothing beyond the start fee. Set a maximum charge per run and the actor stops when it is reached.

Limits and honest caveats

• Prices are per store. Without a Store ID you get Coles' default online store (7674). Coles shows no price for a product that is not sold at the chosen store; such a product link is skipped and named in the run status.
• Store lookup by postcode is not included. Find your store's number on coles.com.au/find-stores (it is the number at the end of the store's page address).
• Coles' own result counts are the proof. A search Coles has nothing for says "Coles lists 0 products" in the status; a refusal or a site change is reported as such and never as an empty result.
• Coles limits how much one visitor can browse, so runs rotate through several connections. Details are one extra page per product, so a run with them on takes several times longer than a plain listing.

FAQ

Do I need a Coles account, a proxy or an API key? No.

How do I get only half-price specials? Set Specials catalogue to Half price, or paste https://www.coles.com.au/half-price-specials.

How are multibuys shown? specialType is multibuy, specialText is Coles' label ("Pick any 2 for $8") and multibuyQuantity / multibuyPrice hold 2 and 8.

Why is the unit price in mL but normalizedUnitPrice per litre? unitPrice keeps Coles' own measure (per 100 mL); the normalised columns convert everything to per kg, per L or per each so you can sort and compare.

Can I get barcodes (EAN) for Coles products? Yes: turn on Add barcode, ingredients and nutrition.

Why did my run return fewer products than Coles lists? The status says why: your maximum per search, the run time limit, or a refusal from Coles.
