Target Scraper: Prices, Store Stock, Promotions & Tracking

Target Scraper: prices, store stock, promotions and price tracking (target.com)

Watch the 22-second film: price tracking

Get Target.com (US) data without an account: search results and category pages with price, regular price, sale type, promotions, rating, brand, TCIN, DPCI and the sponsored flag, priced for the store or ZIP you choose; full product pages with review count, UPC, description, highlights, specifications and return policy; and store stock, with the units available and pickup status at the stores near any ZIP.

Try it in a minute: the form is filled in. Press Start and you get 24 real results for about $0.06.

Built for price monitoring, store stock and restock checks, competitor and MAP checks, promotion tracking and catalogue data.

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.

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": "search-result",
  "tcin": "12345678",
  "title": "Sample Brand 6-Quart Air Fryer, Black",
  "brand": "Sample Brand",
  "price": 59.99,
  "regularPrice": 79.99,
  "priceType": "sale",
  "formattedPrice": "$59.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "promotions": [
    "Save 20% on small appliances"
  ],
  "sponsored": false,
  "dpci": "072-05-0000",
  "url": "https://www.target.com/p/sample-air-fryer/-/A-12345678",
  "storeId": "3991",
  "search": "air fryer",
  "rank": 1,
  "onSale": true
}

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

• $0.0025 per search result
• $0.006 per product page, read in full
• $0.0015 per store-stock row (one product at one store)
• Products that don't exist and refused pages are free

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

Job	Cost
1,000 search results	$2.50
100 full product pages	$0.60
Daily price check of 200 products for a month	$15
Stock of 100 products at 5 stores	$0.75

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

• For restock alerts, give product links, a ZIP code, Check store stock and Stock only for product links, and schedule it hourly. unitsAvailable is the count Target's own Find in Store can promise.
• Schedule a daily run and filter on priceStatus = dropped for a price-drop feed. The run's summary lists the biggest moves.
• For price tracking, search and category results are the cheap way: they carry price, regular price and promotions. Open product pages only when you need UPCs, ratings or specifications.
• A TCIN is the number after /A- in a target.com product link; paste either.
• Prices can differ by store. Run the same list with several store IDs to compare them.

Use it through the API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/target-scraper").call(run_input={"searches": ["air fryer"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 24})
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/target-scraper').call({"searches": ["air fryer"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 24});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

HTTP (one call, results back)

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~target-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"searches": ["air fryer"], "maxResultsPerSearch": 24}'

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 "the 100 cheapest air fryers on Target with their regular prices and promotions". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

Limits

• Target.com (US) only.
• Ratings and UPCs come with product pages, not search results.
• Target shows at most 1,200 results for a search; split broad searches into narrower ones.
• 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.

How accurate is store stock?

unitsAvailable is the number Target's own Find in Store shows it can promise at that store right now. A shelf count can differ.

Do I need a Target account?

No. Everything is what a signed-out shopper sees on target.com.

Can I get one store's prices?

Yes: set the store ID. Every row says which store it was priced for.

Can I scrape a whole category?

Yes: paste the category link (it ends in /N-...). Each one returns up to 1,200 results.

What does it cost to run?

Only the events above; there is no monthly fee.
