## Pricing

Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## Iceland Foods Scraper: UK grocery prices, offers and price tracking (iceland.co.uk)

[![Iceland Foods Scraper: UK Grocery Prices, Offers & Products](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/4VJNANhwKgqPpXtAi/records/hero-iceland-foods-scraper.jpg)](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/4VJNANhwKgqPpXtAi/records/film-retail-price-tracking.mp4)

**[Watch the 22-second film: price tracking](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/4VJNANhwKgqPpXtAi/records/film-retail-price-tracking.mp4)**

Get **Iceland Foods products without an account**: **price in pounds, half-price and multibuy offers, unit price, rating, stock, image and link**, for any search, category or brand, the whole store, or a fixed basket.

**Try it in a minute:** the form is filled in. Press Start and you get 40 real products for about $0.16.

**Run it again and see what changed:** every product is compared with your last run, with nothing to set up and at no extra cost. Schedule it daily and filter on `priceStatus` for a price-drop feed.

Built for **UK grocery price monitoring**, **frozen food and FMCG brand checks**, **promotion tracking** and **price comparison apps**. Iceland's offers change often and sit apart from the other UK supermarkets, so a UK price comparison is not complete without them.

### What you get

| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Products | `productId`, `title`, `brand`, `price`, `offerPrice`, `currency`, `unitPrice`, `unitOfMeasure`, `size`, `inStock`, `maxOrderQuantity`, `rating`, `reviews`, `category`, `group`, `subGroup`, `storage`, `ownBrand`, `image`, `url`, `search`, `rank` |
| Offers | `onOffer`, `offerText`, and `offers`: every offer with its text, offer price or multibuy unit price, quantity, unit price, dates, and whether it is for Rapid Delivery only |
| With Ingredients, allergens and nutrition on | `description`, `ingredients`, `allergens`, `mayContain`, `dietary`, `storageAdvice`, `producer`, `nutritionBasis`, `nutrition` |
| Price tracking, on every row | `previousPrice`, `priceChange`, `priceChangePercent`, `priceStatus` (`first-seen`, `unchanged`, `dropped`, `raised`, `no-price`), `firstSeenAt` |

### What people use it for

- **Price monitoring:** track a fixed basket or a whole category every day, in pounds
- **Promotion tracking:** every half-price and multibuy offer in the store, with its dates
- **Brand and MAP checks:** see how your products are priced, rated and promoted
- **Competitor research:** compare with Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Lidl
- **Price comparison apps:** a clean feed with images, unit prices and links
- **Allergen and nutrition data:** ingredients, allergens and nutrition for frozen and chilled lines

### How to use it

1. Enter **searches**, or give **Categories**, **Brands** or **Products**, or turn on **Whole store**.
2. Turn on **On offer only** if you want the deals.
3. Click **Start**. Schedule it daily and filter on `priceStatus`.

### Input

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Searches | `pizza` | Words to search for |
| Results per search or category | `40` | Up to 30,000 |
| Sort | Relevance | Relevance, best sellers, or price |
| Categories | empty | Frozen, or a deeper one such as Frozen > Frozen Ready Meals |
| Brands | empty | Only these brands; with no search words, every product of the brand |
| Products | empty | A fixed basket of links or product numbers |
| Whole store | off | Every product in stock, about 7,300 on 31 October 2026 |
| On offer only | off | Only products on offer; other rows are never charged |
| Include out of stock | off | Also products not in stock now |
| Ingredients, allergens and nutrition | off | More detail on each row, at no extra charge |
| Track price changes | on | Compares every product with your last run; free |
| Tracking list name | empty | Optional: separate lists keep separate histories |

### Output

Each result is one row in the run's dataset (download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the API). An example row (values shortened):

```json
{
  "kind": "product",
  "productId": "12345",
  "title": "Sample Stonebaked Pizza 330g",
  "brand": "Sample Brand",
  "price": 3.0,
  "offerPrice": 1.5,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "unitPrice": "£9.09",
  "unitOfMeasure": "1kg",
  "onOffer": true,
  "offerText": "Half Price £1.50",
  "previousPrice": 3.0,
  "priceChange": 0,
  "priceStatus": "unchanged",
  "inStock": true,
  "rating": 4.3,
  "reviews": 108,
  "category": "Frozen > Frozen Pizza",
  "size": "330g",
  "url": "https://www.iceland.co.uk/p/sample-stonebaked-pizza/12345.html",
  "search": "pizza",
  "rank": 1
}
```

A record named `SUMMARY` in the run's key-value store says what each input returned, with any notes (for example an account that does not exist), what was charged and how much traffic the run used.

### Pricing

- **$0.004 per product**
- Price tracking and allergen detail cost nothing extra
- Refused pages are free

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

| Job | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000 products | $4 |
| The whole store, about 7,300 products | about $29 |
| Daily check of 200 products for a month | $24 |

On Apify's Scale and Business plans the per-event prices are lower (Store discounts). Set **Maximum cost per run** and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached: you never pay more than that.

### Tips

- Schedule a daily run on a fixed basket and filter on `priceStatus` = `dropped` for a price-drop feed.
- On offer only with no search words is a ready weekly deals feed.
- Prices on a multibuy stay at the single price in `price`: read the deal in `offers`.

### Use it through the API

**Python**

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/iceland-foods-scraper").call(run_input={"searches": ["pizza"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 40})
for row in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(row)
```

**JavaScript**

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('zaiq/iceland-foods-scraper').call({"searches": ["pizza"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 40});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

**HTTP (one call, results back)**

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~iceland-foods-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searches": ["pizza"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 40}'
```

### Integrations and schedules

- **Schedules:** run it every hour, day or week from the Apify Console (Schedules) and keep a history of results.
- **Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable:** connect it through Apify's integrations, or send each finished run to a **webhook**.
- **Datasets:** results stay in the run's dataset; export them or read them by API whenever you need them.

### Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. The agent can find this Actor and run it for you: ask it for "Iceland Foods' pizza prices, and what is on offer". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

### Limits

- UK only. Prices are the website's; a store's can differ.
- Rapid Delivery offers are marked in `offers` and left out of `offerPrice` and `onOffer`, which describe the normal shop.
- If an address is refused the Actor tries another and never solves a check. Pages it could not read are listed in SUMMARY and not charged.

### FAQ

**How does price tracking work?**

Each run compares every product with your last run and adds the previous price, the change and a status. It keeps one small key-value store in your Apify account and costs nothing extra. Run one list at a time, and turn it off with `trackPrices: false`.

**Do I need an Iceland account?**

No. It reads what a signed-out shopper sees on iceland.co.uk.

**Why are there so few in-stock products against the search total?**

Iceland's index holds about 28,000 products, most of them out of stock or retired. In-stock is the default; turn on Include out of stock for the rest.

**What does it cost to run?**

Only the event above; there is no monthly fee.
