Woolworths Scraper: Australia Grocery Prices and Specials

From The Mine Works, makers of ALDI Australia Scraper and B2B Leads Finder, with over 290,000 runs across 310+ public actors.

Updated 31 Oct 2026: first release. Keywords, categories by name, slug, node id or link, the full catalogue, every specials list (half price, buy more save more, lower shelf price, seasonal, online only), product links and stock codes; online and in store prices; barcode, ingredients, allergens, health star rating and nutrition on every row; monitor mode that returns only price changes; one flat row per product. Bookmark this Actor on its Store page so it is one click away next time.

Why choose this actor?

• Every price a category manager compares, in columns. price, was_price, save_amount, is_half_price and the multi buy offer split into multibuy_quantity and multibuy_total_price, plus the in store price Woolworths shows beside the online one. unit_price_normalized puts every product on one scale (per kg, per litre or each), whatever unit Woolworths prints.
• The barcode and the food facts on every row, at no extra cost. Barcode (GTIN) on 6,827 of 6,827 rows in our test, ingredients on 6,114, the nutrition panel on 6,096, plus allergens, dietary claims and the Health Star Rating. Join Woolworths to Coles, ALDI or your own range on the barcode.
• Cheap to run every day. Monitor mode remembers the last price of each product and returns only what changed, so a daily watch of 2,000 products pays for the dozens that moved. Product links go 60 to a call. Plain HTTP to the API woolworths.com.au calls itself, no browser.
• Pay per product, nothing for errors. Links that are not Woolworths links, stock codes Woolworths does not have, the summary row and duplicates found by two lists are never charged. No Woolworths account.

Part of The Mine Works E-commerce and marketplaces family: Ozon.ru Scraper, ⭐ Amazon Reviews Scraper, Amazon Product Scraper, Etsy Listings Scraper, AliExpress Scraper, Kleinanzeigen.de Scraper.

Key features

• Keywords, categories, specials or links. Type keywords as in the woolworths.com.au search box, give categories by name (Milk, Soft Drinks), slug path (dairy-eggs-fridge/milk), node id or link, pick a specials list (all, half price, buy more save more, lower shelf price, seasonal, online only, everyday low price), or paste any Woolworths link into any field.
• Online and in store prices. Every row has the online price and, from the same answer, the in store price, was price, special flag and unit price Woolworths shows for shopping in store.
• Food facts on every row. Barcode, ingredients, allergens it contains and may contain, dietary claims, Health Star Rating and the nutrition panel per 100 g and per serve come with every product, with no extra call and no extra charge.
• Supermarket range only, unless you ask. Woolworths mixes Everyday Market listings (third party sellers, not sold in stores) into its results. They are left out by default; includeEverydayMarket brings them back, marked is_marketplace.
• Monitor mode. Remembers the last price of each product and returns only new products and those whose price or was price moved (monitorWatch: "all" adds the in store price, specials starting or ending and stock changes), with previous_price, price_change and price_change_percent.
• Stops cleanly. A run ends after the first call if Woolworths refuses it, after 6 refused calls in a row, at the last page of a list or at maxItems, and before its time limit, keeping every row. The summary row says why.

How to use it

Basic: products for a keyword

{
  "searchQueries": ["coffee beans", "oat milk"],
  "maxItems": 200
}

Each keyword is its own list, labelled in search_keyword, in Woolworths' relevance order.

A whole category, cheapest per litre first

{
  "categories": ["Milk"],
  "sortBy": "unit_price_asc",
  "maxItems": 500
}

category_path names where each product sits (Dairy, Eggs & Fridge > Milk > Full Cream Milk). Categories without a sort come back A to Z, which keeps runs stable.

This week's half price specials

{
  "specials": "halfprice",
  "maxItems": 5000
}

Woolworths changes its specials on Wednesday; schedule this for Wednesday morning. 1,679 half price products on 30 Oct 2026; "specials": "all" returned 4,040 products from the five specials lists in 152 seconds.

Daily price change alerts on a watch list

{
  "productUrls": ["44528", "888140", "https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/88436/dairy-farmers-full-cream-milk"],
  "monitorMode": true,
  "monitorName": "milk-watch",
  "includeNewProducts": false
}

The first run saves the baseline and returns nothing, so it costs nothing: the start fee is charged only once a product row is stored. Every run after it returns the products whose price or was price changed, with change_type price_down or price_up. Unchanged products are not delivered and not charged.

One product at a time from Clay, n8n or an AI agent

{
  "productUrls": ["https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/44528/norco-full-cream-milk"]
}

One row with the price, barcode and nutrition of that product. A bare stock code (44528) works too.

What data do you get?

Error rows (_type: "error", never charged): one per input that could not be read, with error_type (invalid_input, not_found, category_not_found, blocked, fetch_error, source_refused), identifier and reason.

Stable fields for automations

These were present in every product row of our test runs (6,827 rows from Dairy, Eggs & Fridge and Pantry), and their names will not change:

Field	What it is
product_id	The key to store and join on
barcode	Barcode, to join with other retailers
display_name	Name with size
on_special	Special flag
is_half_price	Half price flag
in_stock	Availability online

image_url	Main image
url	Product page
position	Place in its list

Nearly always present: price, unit_price_display, unit_price_normalized and instore_price (6,665 of 6,827; products Woolworths shows as unavailable have no price), brand, ingredients (6,114), nutrition (6,096), stock_quantity (5,957). Present when the product is on special: was_price (1,323), multi buy fields (410). health_star_rating when the pack carries one (2,696).

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay for the products you receive, plus a flat $0.003 per run, whatever memory you choose. Barcode, ingredients and nutrition come with every product at no extra cost.

Event	When it is charged	Free plan	Bronze (Starter)	Silver (Scale)	Gold (Business)
product-scraped	Once per product row stored in your dataset	$0.54 per 1,000	$0.45 per 1,000	$0.36 per 1,000	$0.27 per 1,000
run-start	Once per run, after the first product row is stored	$0.003	$0.003	$0.003	$0.003

The price of one product is the price per 1,000 divided by 1,000.

Never charged:

• links that are not Woolworths links and stock codes Woolworths has no product for (each gets an error row);
• a product that a second list of the same run finds again;
• products past your maxItems, sponsored products when includeSponsored is off, and Everyday Market listings unless you include them;
• unchanged products in monitor mode, and new ones when includeNewProducts is off;
• the summary, info and error rows;
• a run that delivers no product: the start fee is charged only after the first product row is stored;
• anything past your "Max cost per run". The actor checks the budget before each batch of rows and stops while the total is still below your limit, so the run ends SUCCEEDED with a partial result and a status message saying so.

Run it on a schedule

1. Open the actor in Apify Console, set your input and click Save as a new task.
2. In the task, open Schedules, click Add schedule and pick how often (every day, every Wednesday at 07:00 for the new specials, and so on).
3. Turn on monitorMode in the task so each run returns only the products whose price changed, or compare runs yourself on product_id and price.
4. Optional: add an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook) so each run lands where your team works.

FAQ

What does this actor read?

The same API woolworths.com.au calls in your browser to fill its search, category, specials and product pages, as anyone sees them without logging in. It does not log in, add anything to a trolley or read account data.

Are the prices for a particular store?

They are Woolworths' online prices, the ones the site shows before you choose a delivery address or pick up store, plus the in store price Woolworths shows beside them. Woolworths keeps store prices behind an address session, which this actor does not open. For prices by store and postcode in Australia, see our Coles Scraper and ALDI Australia Scraper.

How many products can I get?

Up to 30,000 per list. The full catalogue returned 24,864 products in our test (21 departments, duplicates across departments removed). Product links: up to 10,000 per run, 60 per call.

Why do some rows have no price?

Woolworths still lists products that are out of stock or not sold online at the moment; they come back with in_stock: false and no price. 162 of 6,827 rows in our test.

How does monitor mode know what changed?

It keeps the last price, was price, in store price, special and stock of every product it delivered in a key value store named after monitorName in your Apify account. Each run compares against it and saves the new values. Use a different monitorName for each watch list.

How long does a run take?

In our tests: 9 seconds for the "Try it" input, 49 seconds for 177 products across 6 lists and 3 product links, 243 seconds for 6,827 products from two departments, and 1,160 seconds for the full catalogue of 24,864 products. The default time limit is 3,600 seconds; the actor stops before it and keeps every row.

Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy?

No. The actor opens its own anonymous session with one small call and uses Apify Proxy, included in the price. Woolworths answered every call in our tests.

Which formats can I download?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML from the run's Storage tab or through the API. The dataset has four ready views: Products, Prices, Ingredients and nutrition, and Price changes. In CSV and Excel, nutrition is flattened into columns such as nutrition/per_100g/Protein.

Can I use it from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor (MCP)?

Yes, through Apify's MCP server. Connector URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/woolworths-scraper

• Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, paste the URL, sign in with Apify.
• ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, add an MCP connector with the URL, sign in with Apify.
• Cursor or VS Code: add it as an HTTP MCP server with that URL.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add -t http woolworths-scraper "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=themineworks/woolworths-scraper"

Is it legal to scrape Woolworths?

The actor reads public product and price data that Woolworths shows to anyone without logging in, and no personal data. Woolworths' robots.txt asks crawlers to stay away from its /shop/search pages; the actor does not load those pages, it calls the search API the site uses for them, with the keyword you give. Decide for yourself whether that suits your use. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following the site's terms and the law. This is general information, not legal advice. Woolworths is a trademark of Woolworths Group; this actor is independent and not affiliated with it.

Integrations

• Google Sheets: send each run's products to a sheet with Apify's Google Sheets integration; one row per product fits a sheet as is.
• Make, Zapier and n8n: start a run and read its dataset with the Apify apps and nodes, for example "Woolworths price drops on our watch list every morning to Slack".
• Webhooks: have Apify call your URL when a run succeeds, then fetch the dataset.
• API and SDKs: run it from Python or JavaScript with the Apify client, or with a plain HTTP call (see "Copy to your AI assistant" above).
• MCP clients: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can run it as a tool through the connector URL in the FAQ.
