CVS Scraper: Prices, ExtraCare Deals, Coupons & Store Stock

For retail price analysts, brands and comparison services monitoring CVS advertised prices, promotions and availability at selected US stores. Collect regular and sale prices, unit prices, explicit membership prices, UPCs, local inventory, pickup availability, aisles, ExtraBucks rewards and manufacturer coupon terms with their published dates.

About $0.00249 per delivered product variant at one store. A 20-observation run costs about $0.05, plus a minimum $0.00005 start charge. No CVS login, retailer API account or exported cookies are required.

Understand prices and stock

The Actor requests CVS advertised online/pickup prices with the selected store number. The price channel is recorded as ADVERTISED_ONLINE_PICKUP. Keep that channel when comparing CVS observations with another retailer or your own store audit.

price is the supplied advertised sale price, or list price when there is no separate sale. regularPrice retains the source list price. memberPrice contains a positive, explicit CarePass/ExtraCare Plus price when supplied. Zero markers used by CVS for an unavailable membership price become null.

Coupons and ExtraBucks stay separate. An offer requiring a qualifying purchase of $20 to earn $10 in ExtraBucks does not turn a $4.99 toothpaste into a negative-priced item. Manufacturer offers can require multiple products, clipping, membership or a particular channel. Each offer retains its own conditions and dates.

stockLevel and inStoreStock contain the selected store's inventory quantity. pickupStockLevel is the separate pickup quantity. Chain-wide shipping inventory appears in shippingStockLevel and never replaces the local count. Aisle and shelf information also belongs to the selected store. When a listing omits stock for another size or pack, the Actor checks that exact variant separately. A capped pickup promise is kept apart from store inventory.

Signed-out cloud checks on 4 November 2026 found SKU 832677 with zero store units at CVS 2671 and six at CVS 2111, with different aisle information. Its advertised price was $4.99, unit price $1.19/oz., and explicit UPC 827854025610. These are dated observations, not promises about later availability.

The overview puts title, price, regular price, promotion, membership price, unit price, stock and store together. The deals view emphasizes offer fields. The DEALS JSON output contains only isDeal: true rows; large exports use smaller parts.

Every run saves SUMMARY with products, stores, deals, source outcomes, duplicate exclusions, free failures and spending-limit status. Product rows use recordType: "PRODUCT". Free explanatory rows use recordType: "NOTE".

Validation on 4 November 2026 covered 34 varied inputs and two 1,100-observation runs without duplicate store/SKU rows. The production prefill delivered 20 observations in 30.0 seconds. A real reboot finished with three unique rows and three product charges.

Start in three steps

1. Enter ZIP codes or exact CVS store numbers.
2. Supply terms, category/product links or CVS product numbers and set your limits.
3. Run, check stores and coverage in SUMMARY, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

The prefill searches toothpaste near ZIP 10001, capped at 20 observations. Exact store numbers keep a repeated monitor on the same location.

Inputs and examples

Input	Example and behavior
searchTerms	["toothpaste", "shampoo"], searched at each store.
startUrls	Optional CVS category, search, product or deals links.
productIds	["832677", "789787"], CVS identifiers rather than UPCs.
locations	["10001", "90012"], nearest front store per ZIP. ZIP+4 is accepted.
storeIds	["2671", "2111"], exact stores, taking precedence over ZIPs.
maxItemsPerSearch	New observations per source/store; default 20, maximum 1,000.
maxItems	Global observation cap; default 20, maximum 10,000.
dealsOnly	Keep sales, explicit membership prices or published coupon/reward offers.
includeDetails	Add public ingredients, directions, attributes and image references.
proxyConfiguration	Automatic US routing or your own configuration.

Empty ZIP and store arrays use the website default front store, recorded in SUMMARY. Pharmacy counters inside another retailer are excluded from nearest-front-store selection.

Two searches at two stores can produce up to 80 observations with a per-source cap of 20:

{
  "searchTerms": ["toothpaste", "shampoo"],
  "locations": ["10001", "90012"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 20,
  "maxItems": 80
}

For a repeatable watchlist:

{
  "productIds": ["832677", "789787"],
  "storeIds": ["2671", "2111"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 20,
  "maxItems": 10
}

A product with several variants can produce several rows. The combination storeId + sku identifies a charged observation, including when CVS uses another parent-product alias. A product found again through another source at that store is delivered and charged once within the run.

A category example:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.cvs.com/shop/personal-care/oral-care/toothpaste"],
  "locations": ["10001"],
  "maxItems": 20
}

For published offers, add "dealsOnly": true. Both price reductions and conditional rewards can qualify; inspect offers and onSale according to your analysis. Pagination follows source totals and your limits. Paid placements are excluded. A cap is a maximum, rather than a guarantee that a store carries that many results.

Output example

Selected fields from the signed-out 4 November 2026 source checks:

{
  "retailer": "CVS Pharmacy",
  "country": "US",
  "currency": "USD",
  "storeId": "2671",
  "productId": "832677",
  "sku": "832677",
  "gtin": "827854025610",
  "price": 4.99,
  "regularPrice": 4.99,
  "unitPrice": 1.19,
  "unitOfMeasure": "oz.",
  "inStock": false,
  "stockLevel": 0,
  "priceScope": "ADVERTISED_ONLINE_PICKUP",
  "physicalShelfPrice": null
}

That check also returned a manufacturer offer with a two-item requirement and a published end of 2026-11-29T23:59:59-05:00, plus an ExtraBucks offer ending 2026-11-07T23:59:59-05:00. A separate manufacturer redemption-end timestamp is retained alongside the published end, rather than silently replacing one date.

Pricing and spending limits

One charged product is one delivered variant at one store. The same SKU at two stores is two observations. Overlapping sources, retries, duplicates, notes and empty selections have no product charge. Optional details have no extra product fee, and there is no additional default dataset-row charge.

Observations	Base	Bronze	Silver	Gold
20	$0.0498	$0.04731	$0.04482	$0.03984
100	$0.249	$0.23655	$0.2241	$0.1992
1,000	$2.49	$2.3655	$2.241	$1.992

Add the minimum $0.00005 start charge. Base price is $0.00249 per observation, Bronze $0.0023655, Silver $0.002241 and Gold $0.001992. Bigger jobs are controlled by your product cap and Apify maximum total charge.

The Actor checks remaining charge capacity before further delivery. At the limit, it stops cleanly and records the decision in SUMMARY. A saved product is the billing unit; failed requests and notes do not become paid empty results.

Monitor prices every day

Save a task with stable store numbers and a watchlist or selected searches/categories. In Apify Console, create a schedule, choose the task and timezone, and connect the completed-run output to your database or workflow.

Join snapshots using retailer + storeId + sku, with scrapedAt as observation time. Preserve the price channel, membership fields and offer conditions. Store UPCs as text in spreadsheets so leading zeros survive.

Each scheduled run collects a fresh observation and charges for its delivered rows again. Compare snapshots in your database to identify price changes, inventory movements and promotion expiries. Check freeFailures and source outcomes before treating a snapshot as complete.

The retail family field names let you combine CVS with other store datasets. Preserve each source's price channel and membership conditions when comparing baskets.

API and integrations

Use your own Apify token:

curl -X POST \
  'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vant47~cvs-pharmacy-scraper/runs' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["toothpaste"],"locations":["10001"],"maxItems":20}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("vant47/cvs-pharmacy-scraper").call(
    run_input={"productIds": ["832677"], "storeIds": ["2671", "2111"], "maxItems": 10}
)
rows = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('vant47/cvs-pharmacy-scraper').call({
  searchTerms: ['shampoo'], locations: ['10001'], maxItems: 20
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Make, Zapier, n8n, Sheets and webhooks can read the dataset and SUMMARY. Filter recordType before treating rows as products.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect to https://mcp.apify.com and request CVS advertised prices, UPCs, unit prices, ExtraCare offers and stock by ZIP or store. Supply terms or product numbers and a cap. Ask the agent to inspect SUMMARY, preserve nulls, retain offer conditions and dates, and keep priceScope in comparisons.

Reliability

Public calls run sequentially with ordinary pacing. Direct cloud datacenter HTTP is tried first. Refused calls retry on fresh US datacenter proxy sessions, honor Retry-After and can fall back to US residential routing. Default operation uses public data calls rather than a browser.

Saved page progress and the dataset ledger survive reboots. Delivery and charging are serial. Recovery reconciles saved rows, acknowledged charges and platform counts before further billing. Ambiguous recovery stops additional charging.

Limits

• Prices are advertised online/pickup amounts requested for a verified store. Physical shelf prices, checkout taxes and delivery fees are not supplied; shelf prices can differ.
• Store quantities are CVS online inventory signals, not a shelf audit or reservation. Availability can change after collection.
• Prescription prices/stock, account offers, clipped-coupon state and personalized checkout eligibility are outside coverage.
• Coupons may require clipping, membership, quantities or a purchase channel. Raw timestamps without an offset retain their source local-time meaning; separate expiry fields can disagree.
• Not every variant supplies every field. Missing promotion starts, membership prices, identifiers and optional details remain null.
• Coverage follows the public catalog. Image-only weekly-ad panels are not extracted. The Actor does not sign in or solve CAPTCHAs.
• Source outages or refusals can prevent complete output. Failures are free and visible in SUMMARY.

FAQ

Can I choose an exact store? Yes, use storeIds or use locations for nearest-front-store selection.

Does a coupon lower price? Conditions and reward values remain separate in offers, couponText and extraBucksText.

Does includeDetails add a fee? It adds product-page requests without another product fee.

What happens with bad input? Parseable invalid selections produce free notes and a summary. Apify can reject schema-invalid input before a run starts; neither path adds a product charge.
