Ocado Scraper: Products, Prices, Offers & Stock

Get products and prices from Ocado (ocado.com) as structured data: price, was price, unit price, multi-buy and price-cut offers (with end dates when you ask for details), stock, ratings, sponsored placements, category and image. Search ocado.com, read whole categories or every product on offer, or look up products by URL.

The Actor reads the same product data the Ocado website loads for any visitor, through home (residential) internet connections in Great Britain. It does not log in and needs no account.

What it does

• Search ocado.com for any words; products come in Ocado's order, sponsored ones included and marked.
• Categories: give a category page (or its ID) and every product in it is read, 500 at a time. Very large categories are read sub-category by sub-category so they finish in one go.
• Every product on offer: Ocado's Offers page, read category by category.
• Product lookups: product page URLs or product numbers, each with its offer terms and description.
• Offer details: switch on details to add each offer's end date (Ocado states it only on the product's own page, for example "Order by 06/10/2026") and the product description.
• One clean row per product: a product found by two inputs is written and charged once.
• Unit prices normalised to a number and a unit (for example 1.06 per l), and pack sizes normalised to grams, millilitres or items.
• Run summary in the key-value store (RUN-SUMMARY): what each input found, why the run stopped, the UK connections used and the traffic.

Ocado answers each address only a few times in a row, so the Actor spreads its requests over many UK home connections and uses Ocado's largest page sizes. You do not need to do anything about it.

Who uses it

• Price comparison and grocery apps that need Ocado prices, unit prices and offers every day.
• Brands and suppliers tracking their products' price, multi-buys and sponsored placement on Ocado.
• Analysts measuring offer depth and how many products in a category are on promotion.

Example

Input

{
  "searchTerms": ["ocado semi skimmed milk"],
  "categoryUrls": ["https://www.ocado.com/categories/fresh-chilled-food/dairy-eggs/milk/979b9d1b-1015-417b-89d3-91fdaff00f72"],

Field	What it does
searchTerms	Words to search for on ocado.com.

productUrls	Product page URLs or product numbers such as 78914011. Up to 5,000.

• For a price cut ("Now £1.50, was £2.20") price is the offer price and wasPrice the earlier price. For a multi-buy ("Buy any 2 for £4") price stays the single price and the offer is in promotions with requiredQuantity 2.
• offerEndDate is filled when details are on (or for product URLs), from the offer terms on the product page.
• sponsored is true for paid placements Ocado shows at the top of a search or category.
• Ocado does not publish barcodes, so gtin is empty.
• The same fields are used by our other UK grocery scrapers (Waitrose, ALDI UK, Lidl GB), so their data can be joined.

Use it from code, automations and AI agents

• API: run it and get the results in one call: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~ocado-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN with the input as JSON. The API tab on this page has ready-made Python, JavaScript and cURL examples.
• Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("zaiq/ocado-scraper").call(run_input={'searchTerms': ['milk'], 'maxItems': 20})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

• No code: connect it to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n from the Integrations tab, schedule runs in Apify Console, and get a webhook when a run finishes.
• AI agents (MCP): add it as a tool to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=zaiq/ocado-scraper.

Pricing

$4.00 per 1,000 products (event product-scraped, $0.004 per product row). Apify platform usage is included.

You pay only for product rows with a price. Searches that find nothing, failed or blocked requests, products not found, products found again by a second input and products without a price cost nothing. Details cost nothing extra. Examples: the 20-product test input costs $0.08; 3,000 products from one category cost $12.

Limits

• Prices are Ocado's online prices for a shopper without a delivery address (England and Wales region).
• Ocado lists the products it can deliver; in our tests every listed product was available, so out-of-stock rows are rare. availability comes from Ocado's own available flag.
• With details on, or for product URLs, each product needs its own request: expect about 70 to 130 products a minute (84 to 133 in our tests) instead of thousands.
• The Actor reads what the website shows; if Ocado changes its site, the Actor needs an update (failed inputs are free and listed in the run summary).

FAQ

Does it need an Ocado account? No. It reads public product data without logging in.

Why UK home connections? Ocado refuses addresses outside the UK. Each connection is checked to be in Great Britain by two IP-location services before it is used.

How do I get offer end dates? Switch on details. Ocado shows the date only on each product's page.

Is it legal? The Actor reads data the website shows to any visitor. Check Ocado's terms and the law that applies to your use before you use the data.
