Canadian Retail Price Tracker

Track prices, discounts, stock and barcodes across 74 Canadian retailers (Giant Tiger, The Brick, Leon's, Ardene, ALDO, SAIL, Mejuri, Vitamart and more) or any Shopify store. Prices are always in Canadian dollars. Get a store's full catalog, search by keyword or collection, or run it on a schedule and get only what changed: price drops, price increases, restocks, new products and removed products.

• 🇨🇦 74 Canadian retailers ready to pick, grouped by category. You can run a whole category, such as every footwear chain, in one go.
• 💲 CAD prices, guaranteed. Brands that sell in both countries return Canadian pricing, and any row that isn't in CAD is flagged.
• 🏷️ Deal data. Regular price, sale price, % off and savings on every product and every size/colour.
• 🔔 Change feed. Only the price drops, restocks and new arrivals since your last run. It's built for daily schedules and deal alerts.
• 🔢 Barcodes (UPC/EAN) and SKUs wherever the retailer publishes them, for price matching and arbitrage.
• 📦 Full catalogs, even for stores with 25,000+ products such as Giant Tiger.
• 🔍 Precise search. "boots" returns boots, not boot trays or hats.
• 🔗 Any Shopify store. Paste a domain, a collection link, a product link or a store search link.

No login and no API key are needed.

Any other Shopify store (Canadian or not) works through Other Shopify stores, as long as it doesn't show a bot check to automated visitors. Stores behind a bot check (a Cloudflare "Just a moment" page, for example Aritzia, Decathlon or Staples) are not supported: this actor does not get around bot protection, so such a store is reported as "blocked" and skipped, and nothing is charged for it.

How to use it

Current prices (Products mode)

1. Pick retailers under Canadian retailers or Whole categories, and/or paste store links under Other Shopify stores.
2. Optional: add Search terms (e.g. winter jacket) or Collections (e.g. sale, clearance). Leave both empty for the whole catalog.
3. Optional filters: Only discounted items, Minimum discount (%), Only in-stock items, Minimum/Maximum price.
4. Choose One row per: Product (sizes/colours nested) or Variant / SKU (one row per size/colour with its own barcode, price and stock).

Price-drop and restock alerts (Changes mode)

1. Set What to get to Changes since the last run.
2. Pick your stores (and search terms or collections if you only want to watch part of a catalog).
3. The first run saves a baseline and returns no rows. Schedule the task (e.g. daily). Each later run returns only what changed: new, price_drop, price_up, back_in_stock, out_of_stock, removed, plus new_variant (a new size or colour of a product you already track) if you select it. Each row includes the previous price, the change in $ and %, and the current discount.
4. Use Change types to report to get, for example, only price drops. Combine it with Minimum discount (%) for a pure deal feed.

Runs with the same stores, search terms and collections share one history. Give a setup its own Tracker name to keep separate histories.

Input example

  "searchTerms": ["air fryer", "mattress"],
  "onlyDiscounted": true,

  "changeTypes": ["price_drop", "back_in_stock"],
  "minDiscountPct": 30

}

FAQ

Do I need an account, an API key or a login? No. No login is needed: the actor reads the public product data every Shopify store publishes for its own website (the same prices and stock any visitor sees), and needs nothing from you except the stores and, if you like, search terms.

How fast is it? About 250 products per request. A 100-product search takes around 10 seconds. Giant Tiger's full catalog (about 27,000 products) took under two minutes in testing.

Why are some Giant Tiger items missing a regular price? Some retailers don't publish a "compare-at" price even on clearance, and mark sales with badges instead. Their tags still show it (e.g. badge_en:Online Clearance).

Does it include items that are out of stock? Yes, with available: false. Use Only in-stock items to skip them.

Why did a store return 0 products for my search? Strict matching requires every search word to appear in the product's title, type, brand or category tags. Plurals, accents and apostrophes are handled for you ("women's boots" also finds "Womens Boot" and "Women’s boots"), but some stores never write the words out. ALDO, for example, tags women's boots as w-cas-boots. When the store's own search finds products but none match strictly, the run's status message says so. Switch Search matching to Broad to get everything the store's own search returns.

Why does the first Changes run return nothing? It records the baseline. Changes are reported from the second run on. Set Output everything on the first run if you want the full list as new on day one.

Can I track a whole huge catalog in Changes mode? Mostly, yes. Giant Tiger (about 27,000 products) and The Brick (about 35,000) work at the default 2 GB of memory. Leon's and The Brick list each item once per store region, which adds up to hundreds of thousands of variants, and each extra GB of memory tracks about 460,000 more. Indigo lists millions of items (mostly books), so tracking its whole catalog is refused. Track Indigo with Search terms or Collections instead.

What if a run is cut short? Results collected so far are saved and the run still finishes successfully. In Changes mode, a store that wasn't fully checked keeps its previous history, so nothing is reported as removed and no change is lost. It is checked again next time.

A store I added says "blocked", "not-shopify" or "disabled". The run summary explains why. "blocked" means the store shows a bot check to automated visitors or refused every request; stores behind a bot check are not supported, because this actor does not get around bot protection. "not-shopify" means the site isn't a Shopify store. "disabled" means the store has switched off its public product data.

Are prices really Canadian? Prices are requested for Canada (change Price country for other markets). If a store can't sell in CAD, each row says so with currencyMismatch: true. Currencies are never silently mixed.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, including the free one, and almost every store answers it. If a store keeps refusing or rate-limiting datacenter IPs, the run retries it on Canadian residential proxies when your account has them, and carries on without them when it doesn't. If the proxy you picked isn't available on your account, the run uses datacenter instead and says so in its status message.

What if my timeout is very short? The run stops shortly before the timeout (20% of the run time, at most a minute) and saves what it has. If nothing came back in time, the status message says so: give searches at least 120 seconds, and whole catalogs or Changes runs several minutes.

Is it legal to scrape these stores? This Actor only collects publicly available data: product listings, prices, discounts, stock status and barcodes that each store publishes on its own website for any visitor, without an account. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. The results contain no personal data: no customer, reviewer or employee information is collected. You must follow each store's terms and laws such as PIPEDA, GDPR and CCPA. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from what each store shows to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches private or restricted accounts, never reaches password-protected areas, and does not get around bot checks.
