How to Get ALDI Prices by Store Through an API

To get ALDI prices for a specific store, use Scavio's ALDI API. POST /api/v1/aldi/stores turns a ZIP code into nearby store ids, and POST /api/v1/aldi/search with a store_id returns that store's shelf price, sale price, unit price, stock level and aisle section for every matching product. /product adds ingredients and allergens, and service_type: "pickup" or "delivery" switches to the online price. Every call costs 1 credit, about $0.002 on the Growth plan billed yearly.

ALDI US has no public API, and aldi.us shows prices for one store and one shopping mode at a time, so every request below names its store. The responses are trimmed captures from November 2, 2026.

Step 1: Find the store

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/aldi/stores \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"zip": "60601", "limit": 3}'

The nearest store, as captured:

{
  "store_id": "12265",
  "name": "ALDI - BAT 64 - Chicago",
  "address": "1753 N Milwaukee Ave",
  "city": "Chicago",
  "state": "IL",
  "zip": "60647",
  "address_line_2": "Chicago, IL 60647",
  "latitude": 41.9133413,
  "longitude": -87.6817575,
  "distance_miles": 3.6
}

limit goes up to 50, nearest first. The stores call returns no opening hours or phone numbers.

Step 2: Search at that store

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/aldi/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "milk", "store_id": "12265"}'

This returned 16 products in 3.0 s. The top of the response confirms what was priced, then one row:

{
  "query": "milk",
  "store": { "store_id": "12265", "service_type": "instore", "zip": null },
  "total_results": 16,
  "count": 16,
  "products": [
    {
      "position": 1,
      "product_id": "16902710",
      "name": "Friendly Farms Whole Milk",
      "brand": "Friendly Farms",
      "size": "1 gal",
      "price": 2.53,
      "was_price": null,
      "on_sale": false,
      "discount_label": null,
      "unit_price": "$0.02/fl oz",
      "in_stock": true,
      "stock_level": "highly_in_stock",
      "category": "Plain Milk",
      "in_store_location": "Cooler Doors",
      "store_brand": true,
      "dietary": ["Whole"],
      "url": "https://www.aldi.us/store/aldi/products/16902710-friendly-farms-vitamin-d-milk-1-gal"
    }
  ]
}

Prices are dollars as numbers; unit_price is ALDI's own label, a string. A sale item carries was_price and discount_label: Simply Nature Organic Whole Omega-3 Milk was $4.29, was $4.39, labelled "2% off". stock_level is a level (highly_in_stock, in_stock, low_stock or out_of_stock), not a unit count. Add sort (price_low or price_high), limit (up to 60) and page to go further, or pass zip instead of store_id to use the nearest store.

Step 3: Read one product in full

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/aldi/product \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"product_id": "16902710", "store_id": "495701"}'

The same gallon at ALDI's New Dorp Lane store in Staten Island, NY, trimmed to the fields search does not return:

{
  "product_id": "16902710",
  "name": "Friendly Farms Whole Milk",
  "size": "1 gal",
  "price": 4.1,
  "unit_price": "$0.03/fl oz",
  "stock_level": "highly_in_stock",
  "in_store_location": "Cooler Doors",
  "store": { "store_id": "495701", "service_type": "instore", "zip": null },
  "description": "Friendly Farms Whole Milk is packed with essential nutrients, including Vitamin D, to support your daily health. ...",
  "ingredients": "Milk, Vitamin D3 Added.",
  "warnings": "Contains: milk.",
  "additional_info": []
}

Same product id, $2.53 in Chicago and $4.10 in Staten Island. product_id also accepts an aldi.us product URL.

Step 4: Get the pickup or delivery price

curl -s https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/aldi/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "milk", "store_id": "12265", "service_type": "pickup"}'

The response's store.service_type reads pickup. One row, as captured:

{
  "position": 8,
  "product_id": "19546425",
  "name": "Simply Nature Organic 2% Reduced Fat Milk",
  "size": "64 fl oz",
  "price": 4.15,
  "unit_price": "$0.06/fl oz",
  "stock_level": "highly_in_stock",
  "in_store_location": null
}

On the shelf at the same store it was $3.75, so the online price is 10.7% higher. Across the 16 milk products, 11 cost 10% to 13% more online and 5, including the gallon of whole milk, were unchanged. delivery returned the same prices as pickup, and in_store_location is null in both online modes.

Step 5: Compare stores

Loop Step 2 over the store ids you care about. We ran "milk" at six stores in six states:

Organic and lactose-free milk cost the same at all six. The full chart is in the best ALDI grocery price APIs.

All three endpoints

Errors are not charged: a missing store returns 400, an unknown product 404, and a temporary ALDI outage 502. Search took 2.1 to 13.3 s across our 28 calls, so set a client timeout of 60 seconds.

Getting started

1. Sign up at dashboard.scavio.dev/sign-up: 50 free credits, no card required.
2. Copy your API key from the dashboard.
3. Send a POST to /api/v1/aldi/stores with a ZIP, then to /api/v1/aldi/search with a store_id.

Try the ALDI API free in the playground first, or call it from Claude and other agents through the MCP server.
