Flipp Flyer Deals Scraper — Weekly Flyers, Prices & Sales (Canada + US)

Get weekly flyer deals from Flipp for 2,500+ Canadian and US retailers by postal code or ZIP. Search every flyer near you for a product, or pull every item in every flyer. Grocery, pharmacy, hardware, electronics, pets, home and more: Walmart, Costco, No Frills, Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Best Buy, Target, CVS, Walgreens, ALDI, Lowe's and hundreds of independents.

• 🔑 No login, no API key, no cookies. Enter a postal code and run.
• 🧩 Complete results, not the first 200. A Flipp search stops at 200 results. When a search hits that cap, this actor re-runs it store by store automatically. Example: "chicken" in downtown Toronto gives 197 → 715 deals in about 30 seconds.
• 📰 Every item in every flyer. Full-flyer mode reads whole flyers: about 18,000 items from 108 flyers in 12 seconds for one Vancouver postal code. Add the region presets for a near-national flyer dataset (46 Canadian cities cover about 1,200 flyers).
• 🧮 Prices you can compare. Multi-buys ("2 for $5" → $2.50 each), /lb and /100 g prices converted to $/kg, discount % and $ off, and a priceRank (1 = cheapest) within each search.
• 🏬 Three kinds of deals. Printed flyer deals, in-store sale prices at the nearest branch (with address, SKU and product link), and online deals (with SKU, rating and reviews).
• 📈 Week-over-week tracking. Each row gets new / price_drop / price_up / unchanged and the previous price. Deals that ended are listed too. Schedule it weekly for a deal-alert feed.
• ♻️ Many postal codes, no duplicates. Neighbouring postal codes share flyers. Each flyer is read once, and each deal appears once (optional).
• 🇫🇷 English or French (Quebec and bilingual chains). US ZIP codes work too.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? Live at run time. Most retailers publish new flyers weekly, often a day or two before they start. Use onlyValidNow to keep only what's valid today.

Why do I get more than 200 results for a search? Flipp stops each search at 200 results. When a search hits that cap, the actor re-runs it for each store that has matches and merges the results, so you get the long tail too. Turn completeCoverage off for a quick top-200 sample.

Why are some prices empty? Some flyer items have no single price ("20% off all toys", "Buy 1 get 1"). discountPct or saleStory then carries the deal. In full-flyer mode, includeItemDetails fills the sale text and units for most items.

Which postal codes work? Any full Canadian postal code or US ZIP code. The first three characters alone (e.g. "M5V") are not enough.

How many postal codes should I use for a whole city or country? One downtown postal code covers the flyers for most of a metro area. For national coverage, use regionPresets: flyers shared between cities are read only once.

What does "in-store price" mean? Some chains publish their own current sale prices per store. These rows (itemType: "store") include the store address, SKU and a link to the product page.

How does change tracking work? The actor keeps a small snapshot of the last run for each distinct input in your Apify account. Run the same input again, for example on a weekly schedule, and each deal is compared with the last run. The run's CHANGES record lists totals and the deals that expired.

How am I charged? You pay per deal saved. The optional item details are a small add-on per enriched deal. Deals removed by your filters or as duplicates are not charged.
