FAQ

Are prices the same in every store? The prices, deals and stock here are the online (shoppersdrugmart.ca / pharmaprix.ca) ones. In-store prices can differ by location.

Why does a search stop at about 500 products? That is the website's own limit for a keyword search. For more, use categories (no limit) or Entire catalogue.

Why do the last results of a search look loosely related? The website's search is AI-based: it ranks by similarity, so the top results match best and the tail drifts (a typo still returns products). Keep the per-search limit modest for keyword searches, or add Brands to keep only exact brand matches.

I searched for stores in Montreal with Shoppers Drug Mart selected. Quebec stores are listed under Pharmaprix. When a location has no stores under the selected banner, the other banner's store list is used automatically.

How long does the entire catalogue take? About 7–8 minutes for all ~23,500 products. On sale only narrows it to about 4,000 products and under two minutes. Switch off Fill in missing images for the fastest run.

What is onlineStock? The number of units available for online orders at the time of the run. inStock is true when it is above zero.

Pharmaprix or Shoppers Drug Mart? Pharmaprix is the Quebec banner with its own catalogue and prices (French by default). Its online catalogue carries far fewer over-the-counter medicines, so some Shoppers products and UPCs are not found there. Pick it under Store; French search terms give the best results. Pharmaprix URLs pasted into Website URLs are recognised automatically.

Does it return reviews? It returns the average rating and the number of ratings and reviews, not the review texts.

Can I track prices over time? Yes. Schedule the actor (daily or weekly) with the same input and compare runs by productId or upc.

A product I know exists was not found by UPC. Only products in the online catalogue can be found. Some in-store-only items are not sold online.

Is it legal to scrape Shoppers Drug Mart? This Actor only collects publicly available data: product listings, prices, deals, PC Optimum offers, stock and store locations that anyone can see on the Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix websites without an account. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as Shoppers Drug Mart's and Pharmaprix's terms. 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 pages Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix show to any visitor without logging in. It never uses a login, never touches private or restricted accounts, and never reaches password-protected areas.
