What does this Actor do?

This Actor lets you extract structured grocery retailer and product data from publicly reachable Instacart shopping pages without running your own anti-bot browser fleet. Give it a ZIP/postal + city preset, a retailer slug (e.g. Costco, Sprouts), a collection / hub / category, a product URL, or a search keyword, then start a run.

Under the hood, the Actor:

Validates your input (market, mode, retailer / collection / product / query)
Enforces free-tier caps when you are on a free Apify plan
Calls a managed scrape backend that opens Instacart with residential egress + stealth browser
Reads session GraphQL / JSON-LD / DOM product cards (guest preview prices)
Pushes Dataset rows ready for Excel / CSV / JSON export
Writes INPUT_ECHO, RUN_SUMMARY (and ERROR_SUMMARY on failure) to the key-value store

You run it like any other Apify Actor — schedule it, call it from the API, or plug it into automations.

What Instacart data can I extract?

*When present on the page or after GraphQL / enrichDetails. ETA depends on Instacart returning accurate retailer ETAs for the postal code.

Lead and contact fields

Every Dataset row includes the complete lead field group, even when Instacart does not expose a merchant contact value. The accepted product-detail sample returned org.name=Costco; unavailable merchant fields were kept empty with a specific leadAbsences reason instead of being omitted or guessed.

Field	Type	Instacart meaning
`phones`	`[{value, type, e164?}]`	Merchant phone numbers only. Instacart platform support numbers are filtered and are never copied onto retailer or product rows.
`emails`	`[{value, type}]`	Merchant contact emails when a business payload exposes them.
`address`	`{street, unit, locality, region, postalCode, country, full}` or `null`	Merchant street address. `unit` is the suite, unit, or door number. An input delivery postal code is search context, not a merchant address.
`geo`	`{lat, lng}` or `null`	Merchant coordinates, as a supplement to the street address. Search or delivery coordinates are not silently promoted to merchant coordinates.
`person`	`{name, role?}` or `null`	Named merchant contact and role, when publicly exposed.
`org`	`{name, id?}` or `null`	Retailer organization from the business payload, for example `Costco`. Retailer, shop, location, and product identifiers remain separate fields.
`web`	`{website, socials[]}` or `null`	Merchant-owned website and social profiles. Instacart store and product URLs remain normal item URLs, not merchant websites.
`leadSource`	`search \| detail \| entity \| contact \| reveal-xhr`	Surface that supplied the lead. The verified Costco product row uses `detail`.
`leadReveal`	`visible \| click \| xhr \| gated \| image \| absent`	How the lead was exposed. A retailer identity visible in the product payload uses `visible`; a blocked contact surface uses `gated`.
`leadAbsences`	object/map or `null`	Per-field reason for missing data, such as `未验证` (not verified) or `闸门锁` (access gate).

Reveal cost

enrichDetails is enabled by default because retailer identity and other lead fields may require a product-detail fetch rather than a thin list card. The managed worker uses a warm browser session and same-origin product data requests. This adds page work and can increase run time compared with list-only collection.

The verified guest flow did not expose a “show phone” or “show email” control, so the Actor does not claim a click-to-reveal contact path. There is no separate lead-field pricing event: the existing Actor start and Dataset result events still apply. Start with a small maxResults value when testing detail enrichment.

Honest limitations

The current verified business sample exposes the retailer organization (Costco), but not a merchant phone, email, street/door address, coordinates, named contact, merchant website, or social profile. Those fields use 未验证 in leadAbsences; they are not labeled 本站无.
Instacart consumer pages can return an access gate. When a requested surface is blocked, the Actor reports the gate honestly and does not parse the error page as an empty catalog.
Instacart's platform support phone, including 1-888-246-7822, belongs to Instacart, not to Costco or another retailer. It is intentionally excluded from retailer and product leads.
A delivery postalCode, city, or search coordinate controls the shopping context. It does not prove a merchant's physical address or coordinates.
An Instacart product/store URL is marketplace evidence and remains in the normal URL field. It is not reported as the retailer's own website.
US product detail is the currently verified business-ready surface. Canada retailer contacts and other unverified surfaces are not inferred from the US result.

Why scrape Instacart?

Instacart aggregates major grocery retailers (Costco, Kroger banners, Walmart, Sprouts, and many local chains) with location-aware prices and availability. Teams scrape Instacart for:

Grocery price monitoring across ZIP codes and metros (SF, NYC, Toronto, Montreal…)
Retailer assortment research by collection (produce, dairy, frozen, alcohol…)
Competitive tracking vs warehouse clubs and supermarket banners
Delivery ETA snapshots for ops / marketplace analytics
Feeding BI dashboards, pricing tools, or AI agents with structured Instacart rows

Compared with keyword-only or storefront-only Instacart Actors on the Store, this Actor covers nearby shops + storefront + collections + discoverCollections + hubs + SEO categories + product enrich + search + ETA across US and Canada in one input surface.

Output

Each Dataset item is a shop, product, collection, hub, category, suggestion, or ETA row. Typical product fields include itemType, productId, name, priceString, available, url, shopId, retailerSlug, collectionSlug, country, acquisition, plus phones, emails, address, geo, person, org, web, leadSource, leadReveal, and leadAbsences.

Key-value store (no internal backend URLs):

Key	When
`INPUT_ECHO`	Always — sanitized input + free-tier / proxy source flags
`RUN_SUMMARY`	Success or free-tier limit — counts, mode, warnings
`ERROR_SUMMARY`	Failure — safe error type + message

Tips for better results

Prefer a city preset or accurate postalCode — Instacart prices and shops are location-aware
Start with a known retailer (costco, sprouts, banner slugs) before broad nearMe crawls
Use discoverCollections to list nav slugs, then run collection with maxPages
Keep maxResults small for first runs with the default enrichDetails=true — each PDP adds time to the collection
Canada: use city=montreal + language=fr when you need French UI context
