Woolworths Australia Scraper

Scrape Woolworths Australia (woolworths.com.au) grocery products by category, search term or stock code: current price, was-price and savings, specials and half-price deals, multibuy promotions ("2 for $6"), unit price per kg/L, stock code and barcode, brand, package size, images, ratings, health star rating, ingredients, allergens, dietary claims and nutrition. Track grocery prices, monitor promotions, build price-comparison datasets or feed a product catalogue.

Built for reliability: it talks to the same JSON endpoints the Woolworths website uses (no headless browser, no CSS selectors, no login), with browser TLS fingerprinting, automatic cookie refresh and retries. Runs of a few hundred products finish in under a minute. You pay only for the products you get.

How to scrape Woolworths specials and half-price deals

Use category mode with https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/browse/specials/half-price (or a department under it, e.g. .../specials/half-price/pantry) and, if you only want price cuts, switch on Only specials. wasPrice, savingsAmount, isHalfPrice and specialText tell you the size of the discount; multibuy captures "2 for $X" deals. Run it daily on a schedule to build a price history.

How to get Woolworths prices per kg or per litre

Every item carries unitPrice and unitMeasure (for example 20.0 and 1KG for a 200 g punnet at $4.00) plus the display string unitPriceText. Weighed produce sold per kg has unit: "KG" and a packageSize such as "per 350g".

How to track a specific product's price

Use product mode with the product URL or stock code (888141). Each run returns the current price, wasPrice and availability plus the full nutrition and origin details. Schedule the Actor and diff the dataset over time.

Does it work without login or a browser?

Yes. The Actor only reads the public JSON endpoints behind the Woolworths website, with browser-like TLS fingerprinting and the site's own anti-bot cookies obtained from a normal page load. No account, no headless browser, no captcha. Prices are the standard online prices Woolworths shows before a delivery address is chosen; store-specific pricing and in-store-only availability are not covered.

Pricing

Pay per result: a small fee per product saved, plus a small extra fee per product detail fetched when Include product details is on or in product mode. There is no subscription; Apify's free plan is enough to try it.

Integrations and API

Use the run in Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, or call it from Python/Node with the Apify client. See the API tab for ready-made snippets.

Is it legal to scrape Woolworths?

This Actor collects only publicly available, non-personal product data (prices, descriptions, nutrition). It does not log in and does not collect any user or reviewer information. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Woolworths' terms and applicable law.
