Output fields

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Full product name including brand
brand	string	Brand name (SILVERCREST, LIVARNO, PARKSIDE, etc.)
price	number	Current selling price. Null when Lidl has not published a price for the item yet (its offer window hasn't started, or has ended)
currency	string	Currency code (EUR, GBP, DKK, etc.)
originalPrice	number	Price before discount (null if no discount)
discountPercentage	number	Discount percentage (null if no discount)
unitPrice	string	Raw unit-price text as Lidl shows it (e.g. "Pr. l 32,00" = per litre, in Denmark). In some countries this field instead holds a multipack quantity range (e.g. "2 x 180 g - 2 x 500 g") \u2014 Lidl doesn't separate the two structurally
packaging	string	Package size/quantity (e.g. "250 ml", "45 g"), where Lidl exposes it as a separate field from the unit price
ean	string	EAN/GTIN barcode, where Lidl exposes one. Confirmed present for Denmark, confirmed absent for Belgium \u2014 availability is country-dependent on Lidl's side, not a scraper gap
offerValidFrom / offerValidTo	string	ISO 8601 validity window for the current price, where Lidl publishes one (typically weekly offers)
category	string	Full category path
imageUrl	string	Main product image URL
description	string	Product description (HTML)
inStock	boolean	Whether the product is purchasable through Lidl's own webshop. Most countries have no online grocery store at all, so this is false for virtually every food item regardless of real shelf stock \u2014 treat it as "buyable online," not "in stock in the store." Null only if Lidl's stock data is missing entirely
productId	string	Lidl internal product ID
country	string	Country code this product was scraped from
url	string	Full URL to the product page
scrapedAt	string	ISO 8601 timestamp

Denmark / everyday prices

Lidl Denmark's search API is not a full everyday-shelf price list. Confirmed by pulling the empty-query catalog: Lidl DK exposes 325 products in total, of which 317 sit in the "Mad og drikke" (food & drink) category \u2014 almost the whole online catalog is food, but it's the current weekly offer rotation, not the full range you'd see on a Danish Lidl shelf. Each item carries a IN_STORE_FROM_FUTURE_DATE_RANGE / IN_STORE_PAST_DATE_RANGE badge and an offerValidFrom/offerValidTo window \u2014 items whose window hasn't started yet, or has ended, come back with price: null on purpose. Searching a staple like "m\u00e6lk" (milk), "sm\u00f8r" (butter), "rugbr\u00f8d" (rye bread) or "\u00e6g" (eggs) returns only the handful of SKUs currently on offer (5-10 items), not every milk/butter/ bread/egg product Lidl DK stocks day to day.

What this means in practice: unitPrice (per-litre/per-kg pricing) and ean (barcode) are both present and accurate for Denmark once an item is in the current offer rotation \u2014 that part is a full, structured feed. What Lidl DK does not publish anywhere on its site is a static, always-on price list for its everyday range outside the offer rotation. No scraper can recover data the retailer doesn't publish.

Cost estimate

This actor is billed $0.02 per run plus $0.002 per result — 1,000 results cost about $2.02. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — reading a dataset mid-run will show a cost far below the real total.

Tips

• Weekly offers: Use sort: percentageDiscount-desc to find the biggest current discounts
• New arrivals: Use sort: firstOnlineDate-desc to see what's new
• Price comparison: Run the same search across multiple countries to compare prices
• Large exports: Set maxResults: 10000 to export full product catalogs
• Datacenter proxies are usually sufficient — Lidl's API is not heavily protected
