Ifood Pharmacy Scraper

Extract comprehensive pharmacy data from iFood — Latin America's leading food delivery platform, with a dedicated drugstore storefront. Get pharmacy listings, detailed store profiles, category trees, and full medication and healthcare product catalogs with prices, EAN-13 barcodes, packaging and units.

ℹ️ Residential Proxy Required This Actor requires a residential proxy for reliable data extraction. You have two options:

1. Apify Residential Proxy — available on Apify paid plans. See apify.com/pricing.
2. Your own residential proxy — provide it via the customProxyUrl input field (works on any Apify plan, including Free).

Runs without a residential proxy will stop immediately with a clear message, so you are not charged for unnecessary compute time.

Quick Start

Get started in four simple steps:

Step 1: Find pharmacies in São Paulo

{
  "mode": "stores",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367"
}

Step 2: Get pharmacy details

{
  "mode": "store_info",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d"
}

Step 3: List the store's categories

{
  "mode": "categories",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d"
}

Step 4: Extract the product catalog for ONE category

{
  "mode": "assortments",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d",
  "category_id": "56e4b49b-563a-4b2a-8011-8b883bd36afd"
}

Tip: To cover a full catalog, list categories first then dispatch one assortments run per category_id — runs can be parallelized for speed.

   pharmacies            profile + address       UUIDs                EAN, price, unit

Step 1: Find Pharmacies

List pharmacies delivering to any Brazilian coordinates:

{
  "mode": "stores",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367"
}

Returns: A cursor-paginated list (20 pharmacies per page) with store_id, name, rating, delivery fee, delivery time, and distance.

Step 2: Get Pharmacy Details

Pick a store_id from Step 1 and fetch its full profile:

{
  "mode": "store_info",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d"
}

Returns: Full address (street, city, district, state, ZIP), delivery fee in BRL, price range, minimum order, rating, and more.

Step 3: List Categories

Discover the store's departments. Each category has a UUID used in Step 4:

{
  "mode": "categories",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d"
}

Returns: Array of {code, name} pairs — e.g. Medicamentos, Higiene e Beleza, Saúde e Bem-Estar, Primeiros Socorros, Suplementos e Vitaminas.

Step 4: Extract a Category's Products

Extract every SKU of one category (paginated, 50 items per page):

{
  "mode": "assortments",
  "latitude": "-23.6051",
  "longitude": "-46.6367",
  "store_id": "9ea4a606-58d7-490f-8075-3ecdc13e8d4d",
  "category_id": "56e4b49b-563a-4b2a-8011-8b883bd36afd"
}

Returns: Products with ean, price, price_original, discount_percent, packaging, unit, quantity, image URL.

Pro tip: Run multiple assortments jobs in parallel (one per category_id) to extract a full catalog faster.

}

Note: The stores home feed returns summary cards that include distance, rating, store_id, and basic delivery hints. For the full delivery fee and exact minutes, call store_info with the store_id — that's where delivery_fee: 11.48, delivery_time: 10, etc. come from.

Integrations

Use the API tab on the Actor page to get ready-to-use code examples in Python, JavaScript, and cURL. The examples are auto-generated with the correct parameters for immediate integration.

The dataset ships with pre-configured views for the Apify Console:

View	Shows	Fields
Overview	All records	mode, items_count, scraped_at, proxy_used
Pharmacies	stores mode	name, id, segment, rating, distance, fee, availability
Store Details	store_info mode	name, category, location, delivery fee, rating
Categories	categories mode	code, name
Products	assortments mode	description, EAN, price, discount %, unit, packaging, category

Each view exports to CSV, JSON, XML, or Excel directly from the console.
