How Our Coles Web Scraper Service Works

Nothing is installed on your side. You tell us which part of the Coles website to scrape - the whole catalogue, a few departments, a brand list or a basket of product codes - and for which stores or delivery areas, and we build the Coles web scraper, run it and repair it when the site changes. Coles prices by location, so every run is tied to the store or delivery area you name and each row is stamped with it.

The site turns ordinary automated traffic away, so anti-bot handling, proxy rotation, rendering and pacing are part of the service. We start with a free project assessment and a sample. Runs are one-off or scheduled - weekly to follow the specials, daily for price-sensitive lines - and arrive as CSV, Excel or JSON with field documentation.

Coles Dataset: Fields We Collect

A Coles dataset is built on the product code. Every product address on coles.com.au ends in a numeric code, and the same number is printed on the page as Code, so a row keeps its identity from run to run even when the name or the pack size is edited. Around that key we collect what a shopper sees:

  • Identity - product code, URL, brand, product name, pack size and, where the page carries one, the GTIN barcode number.
  • Shelf prices - the current price and the unit price Coles prints beside it, per litre, per kilo, per 100g or per each, so different pack sizes compare on one scale.
  • Specials - the label on the tile (SPECIAL, 1/2 PRICE, EVERY DAY, ONLINE ONLY), the Was price and the Save amount.
  • Multi buy - the offer line as written, Buy 2 for or Pick any 2 for, split into the quantity and the bundle price.
  • Availability - in stock or Currently unavailable for the chosen location, plus the Retail limit and Promotional limit printed under the product.
  • Fresh food - the minimum-life promise on chilled lines (Life 7 days min), the approximate weight of loose produce and the note that the final price is based on weight.
  • Product details - description, ingredients, allergens, dietary claims, storage instructions, the country of origin statement and the nutritional information table per serving and per 100g or 100ml.
  • Placement - department, category and aisle (Dairy, Eggs & Fridge, then Milk, then Full Cream Milk), the Varieties and Sizes linked to the product, and whether the tile was Sponsored.

Department and Specials pages carry the same price fields as the product page, so a price-only feed does not have to open every product. The ingredient and nutrition columns do. Every row also names the store or delivery area it was collected for.

Coles Price Tracker and Specials Over Time

Coles Price Tracker and Specials Over Time

A single pass answers what Coles prices are this week. A Coles price tracker is the same crawl repeated, and that is where the value sits: the site prints a Was price only while a special runs and says nothing about last month.

  • History by code - each run adds a dated row per product code and location, so you see when a price moved, how long a special lasted and what the shelf price went back to.
  • Full specials coverage - the Specials section filters by All specials, Multi buy, Half price and Online only and is split by department, from Meat & Seafood to Liquorland. We walk all of it, 48 tiles to a page, so the weekly set is complete and not a front-page sample.
  • Location comparison - the same basket run against several stores or delivery areas shows where prices and range differ.
  • Range changes - new codes, codes that disappear and lines that stay at Currently unavailable week after week.
  • Facets as columns - the Brand, Allergen and Dietary filters (Gluten Free, Vegan, Halal and the rest) are attached to each product.

The weekly catalogue is published per location and can be captured alongside. My Offers and Bought before belong to a signed-in shopper; we never log in, so they stay out of the dataset.

About Coles and coles.com.au

Coles is one of Australia's national supermarket chains, and coles.com.au is both its online shop and the public record of its shelf. Its footer is signed Coles Online, Hawthorn East, Victoria, and the shop sells for home delivery and Click & Collect. Liquor is sold and supplied by Liquorland, which appears on the site as a department of its own.

The catalogue is laid out the way the stores are: Fruit & Vegetables, Bakery, Deli, Pantry, Drinks, Frozen, Baby, Pet, Home & Garden and the other departments, each broken into categories and then aisles. A department page lists its products with a results count, a Coles brands switch for own-label lines such as Coles Simply, and filters for brand, allergen, dietary need and kind of special.

What a data buyer has to plan around is location. A shopper is asked to set a shopping method, and once a store or delivery address is chosen, prices, specials and availability are those of that location - Coles says so in a price disclaimer on every product page. There is no single national price list to copy. There is a price per product per location, and it is refreshed as the specials roll over each week.

Why Use a Coles Price Scraper

Coles prints a unit price beside every shelf price and labels every special, which makes its shelf easy to compare line by line - provided the rows were collected for the right location. A Coles price scraper does that collecting.

  • Suppliers and brands check that the shelf price, the special and the multi buy deal agreed for a promotion really appeared, in which locations and for how long.
  • Competing retailers line up Coles prices against their own on unit price, which takes pack size out of the comparison.
  • Category managers count how much of a department is on special in a given week, how many lines are at half price and which brands hold the Sponsored tiles.
  • Comparison and budgeting apps need grocery prices for every code, every week, with the unit of measure intact.
  • Researchers and journalists follow price changes on a fixed basket over months instead of leaning on one week's catalogue.
  • Food and health teams use the ingredients, allergens, nutritional information and country of origin columns to audit a category without walking the aisles.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a managed data extraction service: we build, run and maintain the crawlers and deliver the dataset, so your team works with rows and not with scripts.

Supermarket sites like Coles are a particular kind of job. The catalogue is large, the price depends on the chosen store and the specials change every week, so most of the work goes into keeping location, unit of measure and offer mechanics straight in every row. Tell us the stores, the departments and the rhythm you need: assessing the project costs nothing, and a sample can be ordered before you commit.

FAQ

Do you offer a Coles API for prices and specials?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Coles API returns product code, name, pack size, price, unit price, special label and Was price for each location as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or straight into your database.

Is it legal to scrape Coles?

Yes. Product pages, department pages and the Specials section of coles.com.au are open to any visitor without an account. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Coles - and we collect it legally. We never log in, so offers tied to a shopper's account are not collected.

Can you track Coles price history for our product list?

Yes. Send the product codes or name the departments, and on every run we record price, unit price, special label, Was price and multi buy offer, each row dated and tied to its location. The history begins with the first run, because the site itself shows only the current price and, during a special, the Was price.

Are Coles prices the same in every store?

No. Coles states on each product page that the price is displayed based on location information and that prices may vary between its stores and online. We set the store or delivery area you name before collecting, and you can order several locations in one dataset to compare them side by side.

How often do Coles prices and specials change?

Specials turn over weekly, in step with the catalogue, so a weekly run after the changeover captures every SPECIAL, 1/2 PRICE and multi buy line. Shelf prices outside the specials follow no such calendar, so for lines you watch closely a daily run is the safer choice. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

How does it Work?

Step 1 - Make a Request

You share your needs, expectations, and desired timeframe. We’ll suggest the best solution based on your request and budget.

Step 2 - Configuring Custom Web Crawlers

Our specialists configure the crawlers and extract a sample dataset for your review before proceeding with the full-scale extraction.

Step 3 - Collect and Deliver

Once you approve the sample, we launch the project and start full data collection. We gather, filter, and structure the data for easy use, delivering it on time in your preferred format.

Step 4 - Maintain and Support

Our team manages ongoing processes, monitors website changes, and supports all data extraction cycles. We can also help integrate data into your systems or create dashboards to simplify analysis.
