Tesco Groceries Scraper

🛒 Tesco Groceries Scraper

Extract the Tesco UK groceries catalogue — prices, Clubcard offers, unit prices, stock status, ratings and the full nutrition, ingredients and allergen data — as clean, structured JSON. Search by keyword, sweep a whole tesco.com category, or pass individual product URLs.

Built for FMCG price monitoring, grocery price comparison, nutrition datasets and retail market research. Runs on the Apify platform, so you get a REST API, scheduling, webhooks, proxy rotation and integrations with Make, Zapier, Google Sheets and n8n out of the box.

✨ Features

• 💷 Real Clubcard pricing — the member price, offer text and promotion window, not just the shelf price. Multibuy offers ("Any 2 for £4") are captured too.
• 🥗 Nutrition & allergen data — full nutrition table, reference intakes, ingredients, allergens, origin, storage and preparation instructions.
• ⭐ Customer reviews — star rating, ratings distribution and up to 20 review texts per product with verified-buyer flags.
• 🔖 Retail identifiers — GTIN/EAN barcode, TPNB and TPNC codes, brand and the full 4-level category path, so rows join straight onto your own product master.
• 📉 Price-position flags — Low Everyday Pricing, Low Price Promise and competitor price-match signals.
• 📚 Whole-catalogue sweeps — pagination is not capped at Tesco's 10,000-result display limit, so a large category comes back complete.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap in listing mode — thousands of products per minute; pay for the expensive detail data only when you ask for it.

🛠️ How to use the Tesco Groceries Scraper

1. Choose what to scrape — type keywords into Search terms (for example olive oil), and/or paste Tesco category, search or product page URLs into Tesco URLs.
2. Set a limit — Max items caps how many products the run collects. The default is 50.
3. Decide on detail — leave Scrape full product details off for fast price and availability data. Turn it on to also get nutrition, ingredients, allergens and reviews.
4. Run it — click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull them from the API.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Tesco?

The Actor uses pay per event pricing — you pay for the results you get, not for how long the run takes.

Event	Price	Charged when
Actor start	$0.005	Once per run.
Product	$0.002	Each product returned in listing mode.
Product with full details	$0.006	Each product returned with scrapeDetails enabled.

So 1,000 products with prices and Clubcard offers costs about $2.01, and 1,000 products with the full nutrition, allergen and review payload costs about $6.01. Apify's free tier includes $5 of monthly usage, which is enough for roughly 2,400 listing results per month at no cost.

💡 Tips

• Keep scrapeDetails off unless you actually need nutrition or reviews — listing mode is three times cheaper and much faster, and it already includes price, Clubcard offers, ratings and stock status.
• Target the narrowest category you can. .../category/bakery/bread is far cheaper than sweeping all of .../category/bakery and filtering afterwards.
• Use UK residential proxies. Tesco throttles bursts of traffic from a single IP, and residential proxies keep the success rate near 100%.
• Schedule a daily run and point a webhook at your warehouse to build a Clubcard price history — this is the highest-value use case for the data.
• Sort by price with price-ascending when you only care about the cheapest options in a category and want to stop early.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Tesco legal? The Actor collects only publicly available product information — no login, no personal data, no customer accounts. Scraping public data is generally legal, but how you use the data is your responsibility. Review Tesco's Terms of Service and consult a lawyer if you plan to redistribute it commercially.

Does it cover Tesco Ireland or other countries? No. This Actor covers Tesco UK (tesco.com). Prices are national online prices, not per-store prices.

Why did I get fewer items than maxItems? Your search term or category may simply have fewer products than the limit you set. The Actor stops as soon as a category is exhausted.

Do I get Clubcard prices for every offer? clubcardPrice is filled in for single-unit Clubcard offers. Multibuy deals ("Any 2 for £4") have no single-unit price, so they appear in the promotions array with the full offer text instead.
