Safeway & Albertsons Scraper: Club Prices & Coupons by ZIP

For retail price analysts, brands and comparison services monitoring the price a shopper sees at a particular store. Get regular prices, Club Prices, digital coupon conditions, unit prices, UPCs, aisles and availability. About $0.004 per delivered product, or $0.08 for 20 products, plus a minimum $0.00005 Actor start charge. No retailer login or retailer API key is required.

Choose Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, Jewel-Osco, ACME, Shaw's, Star Market, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Pavilions or Carrs. Each run uses one banner. Every product row identifies its banner and store, so separate runs fit the same comparison table.

Understand the prices

price is the retailer's advertised current product price at storeId. A Club Card promotion can make that a membership price. Then memberPrice repeats the Club Price, regularPrice retains the source base price, and priceRequiresMembership is true. Preserve those distinctions when comparing baskets.

Digital coupons remain separate in offers. They can require clipping, a minimum quantity or a qualifying second product. Published text, validity dates and conditions are retained. Coupons are not subtracted from the product price, and no personalized checkout total is calculated. An offer without a numeric redemption price keeps a null price.

Prices exclude checkout taxes and service charges. Weighted products can have an estimated product price and a separate price per pound. Keep sellByWeight, averageWeight, unitPrice and unitOfMeasure together.

Field	Meaning
verdict	Readable product, price, membership, availability and store summary.
retailer, country, currency	Selected banner, US and USD.
storeId, storeName, location	Verified store, supplied name and requested ZIP. Location is null for exact/default stores.

Retailer-specific fields add:

Field	Meaning

The overview view puts title, price, regular price, promotion, member price, unit price, stock and store together. The deals view emphasizes promotions. The free DEALS JSON output contains only products with isDeal: true; large exports link to smaller JSON parts.

Every run saves SUMMARY: selected stores, delivered products, deals found, duplicates, source outcomes, free failures and spending-limit status. Free explanatory rows have recordType: "NOTE"; product rows have recordType: "PRODUCT".

Start in three steps

1. Select a banner and ZIP codes, or exact store IDs.
2. Enter search terms, category/product links or BPN numbers. Set your product limit.
3. Run, inspect the stores and coverage in SUMMARY, then export JSON, CSV or Excel.

The form prefill searches milk near ZIP 94611 with a 20-product cap. Its first private cloud test on 28 October 2026 delivered 20 unique products in 19.6 seconds. Another 20-product test finished in 23.3 seconds. Source retries, store count and optional details affect runtime.

Inputs and examples

Input	Example and behavior
banner	safeway by default; one supported banner per run.
searchTerms	["milk", "coffee"], searched at each store.
startUrls	Plain URL strings for category, deals or product pages of the selected banner.
productIds	["960111519"], retailer BPN numbers. Use searchTerms for barcode searches.
locations	["94611", "20037"], nearest store of the banner per ZIP. ZIP+4 is accepted.
storeIds	["3132", "923"], exact stores, taking precedence over ZIPs.
maxItemsPerSearch	New rows per source and store; default 20, maximum 1,000.
maxItems	Global product/store row cap; default 20, maximum 10,000.
dealsOnly	Keep sales, active UPC-linked offers and weekly-ad badges.
includeDetails	Slower optional metadata, with no extra product charge.
proxyConfiguration	Datacenter first, then US residential retries; custom settings are supported.

Empty locations and storeIds use the website's default store. Explicit store IDs make monitoring repeatable. Store parameters in pasted URLs do not override the run's selection. Product links can open with the retailer website's currently selected store; check that selection when reviewing prices in a browser.

Two terms at two ZIPs can deliver up to 80 observations, about $0.32 at base pricing:

{
  "banner": "safeway",
  "searchTerms": ["milk", "coffee"],
  "locations": ["94611", "20037"],
  "maxItemsPerSearch": 20,
  "maxItems": 80
}

A category example:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.safeway.com/shop/aisles/dairy-eggs-cheese/milk-cream/milk.html"],
  "storeIds": ["3132"],
  "maxItems": 20
}

For exact-product monitoring, use productIds: ["136010121", "960111519"], storeIds: ["3132", "923"] and maxItems: 4. Search/category pagination continues while the source supplies new products and your limits allow more, with a 50-page safety limit per source. A cap does not guarantee that a store carries that many matches. Deals-only filtering can scan more pages to find qualifying products.

Real output example

Selected fields from the 28 October 2026 ZIP 94611 prefill:

{
  "retailer": "Safeway",
  "storeId": "654",
  "location": "94611",
  "productId": "136010121",
  "gtin": "0002113007002",
  "title": "Lucerne Milk Whole 1 Gallon - 128 Fl. Oz.",
  "price": 6.49,
  "regularPrice": 6.49,
  "unitPrice": 0.05,
  "unitOfMeasure": "FL.OZ",
  "inStock": true
}

Pricing and spending limits

One product means one distinct product at one store. A product at two stores is two price observations. Overlapping inputs at the same store are delivered and charged once within the run. Notes, summaries, failed requests and empty results have no product charge. There is no additional default dataset-row fee.

Products	Base	Bronze	Silver	Gold
20	$0.08	$0.076	$0.072	$0.064
100	$0.40	$0.38	$0.36	$0.32
1,000	$4.00	$3.80	$3.60	$3.20

Add the minimum $0.00005 start charge. Base price is $0.004 per product; Bronze is $0.0038, Silver $0.0036 and Gold $0.0032. Optional details have no extra event fee. Apify's maximum total charge controls larger jobs. The Actor checks capacity before requesting and saving more products, stops at the limit and records the decision in SUMMARY.

Monitor prices every day

Save a task with stable store IDs and products or categories. In Apify Console, create a schedule, select the task, choose a daily time and timezone, then connect the completed-run webhook to your database or workflow.

Join snapshots using banner + storeId + productId, with scrapedAt as observation time. Keep regular prices, membership prices and coupon conditions in separate columns. Store UPCs as text in spreadsheets. Every scheduled run collects a fresh observation and charges for its delivered products again. Save snapshots in your database to build history; historical backfill is unavailable.

Make, Zapier, n8n and Sheets workflows can read the dataset and SUMMARY. Check freeFailures before accepting a snapshot as complete. Source outages should appear as gaps in your history, rather than substituted old prices.

API and automation

Use your own Apify token and fetch the completed dataset and SUMMARY:

curl -X POST \
  'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vant47~safeway-albertsons-scraper/runs' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["milk"],"locations":["94611"],"maxItems":20}'

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("vant47/safeway-albertsons-scraper").call(
    run_input={"searchTerms": ["milk"], "storeIds": ["3132"], "maxItems": 20}
)
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/safeway-albertsons-scraper').call({
  searchTerms: ['milk'], storeIds: ['3132'], maxItems: 20
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect to https://mcp.apify.com. Ask for Safeway or Albertsons store prices, Club Prices, UPCs and coupon dates by ZIP. Supply the banner, ZIPs or store IDs, terms and product cap. Ask the agent to inspect SUMMARY, preserve nulls and retain membership and coupon conditions. Exact BPNs are useful for a repeatable monitored basket.

Reliability and limits

Requests run sequentially, about two seconds apart, with fresh sessions on retry. US datacenter routing precedes US residential routing. The shared public company platform can serve a request through another official company host while its requested banner and store remain explicit. Product store IDs must match before delivery.

Prices, stock and ZIP selection are fetched live. Exact-store address metadata can be reused for seven days. storeMetadataFromCache and storeMetadataObservedAt identify that reuse. Cached address metadata never supplies prices or stock.

Saved page snapshots and the dataset ledger survive reboots. Delivery and charging are serial. Recovery checks saved rows, charge receipts and authoritative run counts; ambiguous billing evidence stops further charging. Source outages and refusals can still prevent complete output. SUMMARY makes those failures visible and uncharged.

Optional details add product-page requests. Those pages can use the website default store, so only product metadata is taken from them. Price and stock always come from the selected-store response. Details can remain null even when a verified store price is delivered.

Availability is an online signal; quantities are not audited physical shelf counts. Prices and stock can change after collection. Promotion timestamps without offsets retain their source local-time meaning, with a timezone supplied when available. Missing brands, start dates, ratings and quantities remain null.

Weekly-ad badges and UPC-linked offers cover returned products. Image-only flyer panels, personalized account offers, clipped-account state and checkout eligibility are outside coverage. The Actor does not sign in or solve CAPTCHAs.

FAQ

Can I choose an exact store? Yes, use storeIds for stable monitoring or ZIPs for nearest-store selection.

Do coupons lower price? Their conditions stay in offers. Explicit Club Card promotions also populate memberPrice.

Why are fields null? The public response did not supply a verified value. Field availability varies by product.

Does includeDetails cost extra? No extra product fee; it adds slower metadata requests.

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

Can I monitor every banner together? Run each banner separately, then combine the common product/store fields.
