Tesco Grocery Scraper

Scrape product data from Tesco UK and Tesco Ireland at scale.

Extracts full product details including price, promotions, nutrition, allergens, ingredients, competitor price matching, and reviews — from product URLs, category listings, or keyword searches.

Features

• Product scraping — full details via Tesco's GraphQL API (fast, no browser)
• Category listings — paginated scraping of any browse/category URL
• Keyword search — search Tesco by keyword, get paginated results
• Category slugs — use short slugs like fresh-food without full URLs
• Standalone reviews — scrape all reviews for a product with {id}/reviews
• UK + Ireland — supports both tesco.com and tesco.ie
• Proxy rotation — uses Apify residential proxies, retries on block (429/403)
• Auto URL migration — old /groceries/en-GB/ URLs are handled automatically
