Coles Product Scraper - Australian Supermarket Prices & Deals

What does Coles Product Scraper do?

Coles Product Scraper pulls product and price data from Coles Supermarkets Australia (coles.com.au) for any keyword, category or aisle page, specials page or product link. Every row carries the shelf price, was price, saving, unit price, the half-price or multibuy deal ("Pick any 2 for $4"), availability, brand, pack size, department, category and aisle, plus a product image and link. Product links and product ids also return the GTIN barcode, ingredients, allergens and country of origin.

Think of it as a Coles prices API you can call from a schedule, a spreadsheet or an AI agent: it reads the same public JSON that the Coles website loads in the browser, over plain HTTP, with no browser and no login. $1.30 per 1,000 products, no start fee and no per-search fee.

Comparing Australian supermarkets? Run it next to our Woolworths Product Scraper and ALDI Australia Scraper: the three give you Coles, Woolworths and ALDI shelf and unit prices for the same basket.

Why use it?

• Grocery price tracking: watch the price and unit price of a basket of products every day or week and build your own price history by product id.
• Weekly specials: paste https://www.coles.com.au/on-special for the full specials list (about 8,000 products), or add ?filter_Special=halfprice or ?filter_Special=multibuy for one kind of deal.
• Category and range reviews: list a whole aisle such as /browse/dairy-eggs-fridge/milk and compare brands, pack sizes and price per litre or per kg.
• Competitor pricing for suppliers and brands: see where your products sit on price and promotion against everything else in the aisle.
• Price comparison apps and research: feed Coles prices into an app, a dashboard or an inflation study, side by side with Woolworths and ALDI.
• Catalogue enrichment: add GTIN barcodes, ingredients and images to your own product list from Coles product links.

What sets it apart:

• Sponsored tiles removed. Coles mixes paid placements and banner tiles into each results page; they are dropped and never charged, and every product is saved once per search.
• Specials made easy to filter: isOnSpecial, isHalfPrice, specialType, promoText, and parsed multibuyQuantity / multibuyPrice for multibuy deals.
• Keywords, categories, specials and product links in one list, with optional sort by price or unit price.
• Works from the cloud: requests go through Apify datacenter proxy, and any page Coles blocks is retried automatically through Australian residential IPs. You pay the same per-product price either way.
• Free failures: empty searches, unknown category links and blocked requests cost nothing.

How to scrape Coles prices

1. Click Try for free.
2. Add one or more Search terms or Coles URLs, one per line: keywords such as milk, category links copied from the Coles menu, the specials page, or product links.
3. Set Max products per search (default 200; use 10000 for a full list).
4. Optionally choose Sort by, turn on Only specials, or turn off Include unavailable products.
5. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them through the Apify API.

How much does it cost?

$0.0013 per product saved, or $1.30 per 1,000 products. Apart from Apify's $0.00005 Actor start event there is no start fee and no fee per search. Sponsored tiles, duplicates, products removed by your filters, unavailable products that Coles shows without a price, searches with no results, unknown links and blocked requests are free: failures appear as rows with an error field and are not charged. The whole specials list (about 8,000 products) costs about $10.40. On the Apify free plan, the $5 monthly credit covers about 3,800 products. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops when it is reached.

Tips

• Tracking a fixed basket? Put the product links (or just the Coles product ids, the number at the end of each link) in the input. Each one is a single request and also returns the GTIN barcode.
• Only want deals? Turn on Only specials, or use the specials page link with filter_Special=halfprice, multibuy or onlineonly.
• Schedule it: save your input as a task and run it daily or weekly from the Schedules tab.
• Prices are the online prices coles.com.au shows without a chosen store. Flybuys member prices and reviews are not collected.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through Apify's MCP server: add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tenfoldfleet/coles-product-scraper as a remote MCP server and sign in with your Apify account. The agent fills in the input, runs the Actor and reads the products itself, at the same per-product price.

FAQ

Can I look up a Coles product by barcode?

Not directly: Coles search does not match barcodes, so a barcode returns a free error row. Use the product link or the Coles product id instead; that row includes the gtin barcode.

Why do I get fewer rows than the results count?

Sponsored tiles and duplicates are removed, Max products per search caps each input, and the Only specials and Include unavailable products filters skip products (skipped products are free).

Can I get every product on special?

Yes. Add https://www.coles.com.au/on-special and set Max products per search to 10000.

Do I need a proxy?

No setup is needed. The default Apify Proxy setting is used for the first try, and blocked pages are retried through Australian residential IPs automatically.

Does it cover Woolworths or ALDI?

No, this Actor covers Coles only. Use Woolworths Product Scraper and ALDI Australia Scraper for the other two.
