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):

{
  "kind": "product",
  "upc": "0000000012345",
  "title": "Sample Brand 2% Milk",
  "brand": "Sample Brand",
  "size": "1 gal",
  "price": 4.69,
  "cardPrice": 3.99,
  "onSale": true,
  "offerText": "$3.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "unitPrice": 0.03,
  "unitOfMeasure": "fl oz",
  "previousPrice": 4.69,
  "priceChange": 0,
  "priceStatus": "unchanged",
  "stockLevel": "HIGH",
  "inStock": true,
  "aisleNumber": "61",
  "aisle": "Dairy",
  "bay": "5",
  "shelf": "2",
  "storeId": "00000001",
  "url": "https://www.smithsfoodanddrug.com/p/sample-brand-2-milk/0000000012345",
  "search": "milk",
  "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

• $0.005 per product
• Price tracking and ingredients cost nothing extra
• Refused pages are free

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

Job	Cost
A search at one store, 24 products	$0.12
20 searches at 5 stores, about 2,400 products	about $12
Daily check of 200 products for a month	$30

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

• Use specific searches: 2% milk, oat milk and whole milk return three different lists.
• Add Brands to read past the first 24 for a word.
• Schedule a daily run and filter on priceStatus = dropped for a price-drop feed.

Use it through the API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/smiths-food-scraper").call(run_input={"searches": ["milk"], "zipCodes": ["84101"]})
for row in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('zaiq/smiths-food-scraper').call({"searches": ["milk"], "zipCodes": ["84101"]});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

HTTP (one call, results back)

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~smiths-food-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searches": ["milk"], "zipCodes": ["84101"]}'

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 "Smith's's milk prices at the store nearest 84101". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

Limits

• Up to 24 products per search per store: that is what Smith's's search page shows a signed-out visitor, and its next pages repeat the same list. Whole-store and category reads are not offered.
• A fixed basket by UPC is not offered: product pages refuse plain requests. Search for the product's name instead.
• Prices are the website's for that store's pickup; delivery and in-store prices can differ.
• 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 a Smith's account?

No. It reads what a signed-out shopper sees on smithsfoodanddrug.com.

How do I choose a store?

Give a ZIP code for the nearest stores, or a store ID from the storeId column of an earlier run.

What does it cost to run?

Only the event above; there is no monthly fee.
