Used to be a big fan of the website Price Hipster to find the special price of various items. Now it looks like Woolies has blocked them so they no longer offer price alerts or price histories for Woolies.
Does anyone know if there is an alternative website that host price history data for Woolies (or even Aldi)?
Bit of a long shot but I tried using an importXML function in Googlesheets to scrap Woolies and Coles website price data but they seem to block my attempts. If anyone knows an API or other method to get around this or some other way to log the prices into a spreadsheet I would greatly appreciate it. Just looking to find some bargains.
Example of the code I wrote that seems to now be blocked by Woolies, =IMPORTXML("https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/238473/colgate-plax-alcohol-free-mouthwash-freshmint","//shared-price[@class='ng-star-inserted']")
