💰 Pricing

You pay $0.40 per 1,000 results ($0.0004 per product or store row), plus the small platform usage of the run (compute and proxy traffic). A 1,000-product job with details typically costs about $0.41 in total. Inputs that return nothing cost nothing in result fees, and a run stops cleanly when it reaches your maximum charge.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Woolworths? The actor only reads public catalogue pages anyone can open without an account. Check that your use of the data respects the Woolworths terms and the laws that apply to you.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. The default Australian datacenter proxy works; if Woolworths starts blocking it, the actor switches to residential by itself.

How many results can I get? As many as Woolworths lists. Search and category listings return up to a few thousand products each; the specials catalogue holds several thousand. The run summary says when fewer products exist than you asked for.

Why is a field empty? Woolworths does not publish every field for every product (for example, nutrition for non-food items or a was price when nothing is on special). Empty fields are null.

Which prices do I get? The online prices for the default Woolworths store and delivery area. Prices in a specific store can differ slightly.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule runs to track prices over time, and read results through the API or the integrations.

⚠️ Limits

• Prices are those shown to a guest shopper; local store pricing and member-only (Everyday Rewards) prices are not included.
• Customer reviews text is not scraped (only the average rating and review count).
• Woolworths caps each result page at 36 products, so very large categories take a little longer.
• Woolworths sometimes changes its website; if something breaks, the actor is fixed quickly.
