## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 🛒 ALDI Australia Scraper — Prices, Special Buys & Catalog

🎯 **Every ALDI Australia product and price in one clean spreadsheet — search, aisles, deal lists, weekly Special Buys and the whole catalog.**

Collect products from **aldi.com.au** with name, brand, shelf price, unit price (per 100 g, per kg, per litre), pack size, category, product images and the Special Buys sale date. Turn on product details for the description, ingredients, allergens and storage instructions. Turn on price monitoring and get only what changed since your last run — with the previous price next to the new one.

### 🚀 What Does It Do?

This scraper automatically reads ALDI Australia's online range and delivers **structured, ready-to-use data** — one row per product. No copying prices by hand — just type a keyword or pick an aisle and hit Start.

💡 **Two modes of operation:**

1. **🔍 Discovery Mode** — search for products ("coffee", "nappies"), pick aisles (Pantry, Freezer, Liquor…), ALDI's deal lists (Lower Prices, Limited Time Only, Super Savers), this week's or upcoming **Special Buys**, a brand, or simply the **whole catalog** (about 3,300 products).
2. **📋 Direct URL Mode** — paste links from aldi.com.au: an aisle, a search, a Special Buys week or a single product page.

### ❓ FAQ

**🤔 What are Special Buys and how do I get next week's?**
Special Buys are ALDI's limited weekly specials that go on sale on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Choose "Upcoming" to get every announced week before it hits the stores — each product carries its sale date.

**🤔 How do I track price changes?**
Turn on Price monitoring and schedule the run (for example daily). The first run remembers everything; later runs output only new products, price or pack changes and products that are back, with the previous price and the change in dollars.

**🤔 Are prices the same in every state?**
ALDI Australia shows one national price online, and that is what you get.

**🤔 Why do some products have no unit price?**
ALDI only shows a unit price where it makes sense — groceries have one, a pool cover or a capsule machine does not.

**🤔 Can I get the whole range in one go?**
Yes — switch on "Whole catalog" and set Max items to 0. You get every product ALDI Australia lists online, around 3,300 rows, in under a minute.

**🤔 Can I export the data?**
Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, RSS. You can also push data directly to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, or any webhook/API endpoint.

**🤔 How often should I run this?**
For fresh data, run daily or weekly. You can schedule automatic runs on Apify with just a few clicks.

**🤔 Does it work with proxies?**
It does not need one — aldi.com.au answers directly. If you ever see blocked requests, switch on Apify Proxy in the Advanced section.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchTerms": [
        "coffee"
    ],
    "maxItems": 30
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("trev0n/aldi-au-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchTerms": ["coffee"],
    "maxItems": 30,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("trev0n/aldi-au-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchTerms": [
    "coffee"
  ],
  "maxItems": 30
}' |
apify call trev0n/aldi-au-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,trev0n/aldi-au-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
