ALDI AU Scraper (Products, Prices, Unit Prices)

What is ALDI AU Scraper?

ALDI AU Scraper collects product search results from aldi.com.au, the Australian arm of the discount supermarket chain. Give it a keyword such as milk or oat milk and it returns one row per product: name, brand, pack size, price in AUD, unit price per 100 g or per litre, category, image, product link and SKU. It reads the JSON API that the ALDI website search page calls, so no browser runs and no login is needed.

FAQ

Does it need an ALDI account? No. It reads the public product search API.

Are prices per store? No. The API returns the national price shown for the walk-in service type. Store-level differences are not covered.

Why is wasPrice empty? In the 120 rows of the 2026-10-23 test runs, no product had a was-price field, so that path is untested against live specials. onSale comes from the on-sale date that the API did return for four rows.

Is stock available? The API response has no per-product stock field. The Actor does not guess stock.

Is the url verified? Yes for the test product: https://www.aldi.com.au/product/choceur-milk-mouse-milk-chocolate-168g-000000000538441002 returned HTTP 200 from an Apify cloud run.

What if the same product matches two keywords? It is returned once, under the first keyword that found it, and counted once in the charge.

What happens when ALDI blocks the Actor? The Actor retries after short waits and then switches to Apify's Australian residential proxy for the rest of the run. Searches that still fail go into the ERRORS record and are not charged.

Limitations

• Keyword search only. No category browsing and no store-level prices.
• No stock field in the API.
• wasPrice and savingsText were not seen in live rows yet.
• Results are capped by maxProducts. The test keywords returned 95 hits (milk).

Support

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Include the keyword, the input JSON and the run ID.
