ALDI Australia Scraper — Products, Prices & Special Buys

ALDI Australia Scraper extracts products and prices from aldi.com.au: run a keyword search, list any department or category, pull every Special Buys week ALDI has announced, or read the whole catalogue of about 3,000 products. Each product becomes one flat JSON row with the shelf price in AUD, the unit price (per 100 g, per 1 L ...), pack size, brand, category path, Special Buys on-sale date, images and the product link. It works over plain HTTP against the same data the ALDI website loads, so no browser and no login are needed, and the default run finishes in a few seconds.

Data you get

• Product: SKU, name, brand, pack size, selling unit, whether it is priced by weight, discontinued flag, product link, main image and all image links.
• Price: price (number, AUD) and the text ALDI shows ($17.99), unit price as a number plus its measure (1.8 per 100 g) and as text, and, when ALDI prints them, per-piece price, was price, savings text, price notes and container deposit.
• Special Buys: isSpecialBuy, the on-sale date (2026-11-04) and the label from the tile ("On Sale Wed 04 Nov", "While Stocks Last").
• Category: department, category, full path (Pantry > Tea, Coffee & Hot Chocolate) and ALDI's category key.
• Liquor: minimum age and alcohol content when published.
• Details add-on (optional): description as plain text, ingredients, storage and usage instructions, country of origin, allergens, claims such as "May contain", and warnings. ALDI fills these unevenly: most products have a description, many also have storage instructions, fewer have ingredients or allergens.

Every run also writes a SUMMARY record: products saved per input line, how many products ALDI lists for each, errors, and request statistics.

How to use it

Fill one or more inputs; they can be combined in one run and duplicates are skipped.

Input	What it does
searchTerms	One ALDI search per keyword: coffee, nappies, olive oil.
categories	Names, slugs or links: Pantry, freezer, dairy-eggs-fridge/cheese, Lower Prices, Limited Time Only, or a link such as https://www.aldi.com.au/products/bakery/k/920000000.
specialBuys	all, upcoming, on-sale-now, a date like 2026-11-04, or a Special Buys link, optionally with a theme (?theme=Liquor).
productUrls	Product links or SKUs. These rows always include the details at no extra cost.
scrapeAllProducts	Walk the full catalogue. With no other input, this is what the run does.
brands	Keep only these brands (ALDI filters them for you).
productType	All products, only Special Buys, or only the regular range.
sortBy	Relevance, price or name order.
includeDetails	Adds the details listed above (one extra request per product, billed as an add-on).
maxItems, maxItemsPerQuery	Exact limits for the run and for each input line.

Quick search (the default input):

{ "searchTerms": ["coffee"], "maxItems": 50 }

Everything in the next Special Buys weeks, with descriptions:

{ "specialBuys": ["upcoming"], "includeDetails": true, "maxItems": 500 }

Price tracking for two aisles, cheapest first:

{
  "categories": ["dairy-eggs-fridge/cheese", "https://www.aldi.com.au/products/pantry/k/970000000"],
  "sortBy": "priceAsc",
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 200,
  "maxItems": 400
}

One brand across the catalogue:

{ "scrapeAllProducts": true, "brands": ["LAZZIO"], "maxItems": 100 }

Example output

A real row from a test run (23 October 2026, four of the image links shortened to one):

{
  "sku": "000000000000366741",
  "name": "Coffee Beans Medium 1kg",
  "brand": "LAZZIO",
  "packSize": "1 kg",
  "price": 17.99,
  "priceText": "$17.99",
  "currency": "AUD",
  "unitPrice": 1.8,
  "unitPriceText": "$1.80 per 100 g",
  "unitPriceMeasure": "100 g",
  "wasPriceText": null,
  "containerDeposit": null,
  "sellingUnit": "ea",
  "isSoldByWeight": false,
  "isSpecialBuy": false,
  "specialBuyDate": null,
  "availabilityText": null,
  "badges": [],
  "department": "Pantry",
  "category": "Tea, Coffee & Hot Chocolate",
  "categoryPath": "Pantry > Tea, Coffee & Hot Chocolate",
  "categoryKey": "1111111175",
  "ageRestriction": null,
  "imageUrl": "https://dm.apac.cms.aldi.cx/is/image/aldiprodapac/product/jpg/scaleWidth/1500/96f09a52-56d0-4d04-9a60-2f9b69bab9c6/lazzio-coffee-beans-medium-1kg",
  "url": "https://www.aldi.com.au/product/lazzio-coffee-beans-medium-1kg-000000000000366741",
  "source": "category:pantry",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-23T05:21:44.381Z"
}

A Special Buys row carries, for example, "isSpecialBuy": true, "specialBuyDate": "2026-10-24" and "availabilityText": "On Sale Sat 24 Oct".

Good to know

• Prices are the catalogue prices published on aldi.com.au. ALDI Australia does not sell groceries online, so there are no per-store stock levels, and ALDI itself notes that a store can occasionally differ from the website.
• Special Buys usually have no category on the listing; with includeDetails some of them get one from the product page.
• Lower Prices, Super Savers and Limited Time Only are categories on the site, so you can list them by name.
• A broad search is capped by ALDI's own results (for example about 80 products for "coffee"); use categories or the full catalogue for complete coverage.

Use cases

• Price monitoring: track shelf and unit prices of ALDI products week by week and compare them with other supermarkets.
• Special Buys alerts: know what goes on sale next Wednesday or Saturday, with prices, as soon as ALDI lists the week on its website.
• Retail and FMCG analysis: assortment by department, private-label share, pack sizes and price points.
• Deal sites and apps: feed product names, prices, images and links into a comparison site, newsletter or chatbot.

Pricing

Pay per product saved, nothing per run:

• US$0.40 per 1,000 products (product-result, US$0.0004 each).
• Details add-on: US$0.30 per 1,000 products (product-details), only when includeDetails is on and the details were found.

Examples: 1,000 products = US$0.40; the whole catalogue (about 3,250 products) = about US$1.30, or about US$2.28 with details. Duplicates are never charged, and the run stops at the maximum charge you set.

Compared with other options

Other ALDI Australia Actors in the Apify Store charge roughly US$0.40 to US$3.00 per 1,000 products. This one matches the lowest price and covers keyword search, categories by name or link, Special Buys weeks and themes, brand filtering, unit prices as numbers and an optional details add-on in one Actor. It is built on the same approach as our Woolworths Australia Scraper, so you can put ALDI and Woolworths prices side by side with the same kind of rows.

Integrations

Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the Apify API and the JavaScript or Python clients. Schedule a weekly run, send rows to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook, or use the Actor inside n8n, Make and Zapier. AI agents can call it as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Is scraping ALDI legal? The Actor reads public product information that any visitor sees without an account, at a gentle pace (about four requests per second at most). It collects no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the data and for respecting ALDI's terms.

Do I need a proxy? The default Apify datacenter proxy is the starting point. The ALDI data host rejects non-browser clients, so the Actor sends browser-like requests; if it is still blocked, it switches to an Australian residential proxy on its own.

Why fewer products than maxItems? The search, category or Special Buys week simply has fewer products, a brand or product-type filter removed some, or maxItemsPerQuery capped a line. The SUMMARY record shows the count ALDI reports for each input.

Limits? Up to 100,000 products per run. Without details the full catalogue is about 55 requests of 60 products; with details, add one request per product.
