Smacient built a scraper that tracks Zepto prices across Indian cities in real time

We built a scraper that pulls real time product data from Zepto, the Indian quick commerce app. Give it a search term and a city, it returns clean structured data: name, brand, price, MRP, discount, pack size, stock status, rating, image URL, category, and product IDs.

Why we built it

Zepto's prices and stock change constantly, and there's no public API. Anyone doing price monitoring, market research, or competitive analysis on Indian grocery delivery has to scrape it themselves. So we packaged that into an actor anyone can run without touching code.

How it works

You pass in an array of search queries, pick a city (Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad), and set a max results count. It runs, and you export the data as JSON or CSV.

Example input:

{
"queries": ["chocolate", "sunscreen"],
"city": "bangalore",
"maxResults": 50
}

Who it's for

Anyone tracking pricing across quick commerce platforms in India: brands watching their own listings, analysts comparing prices across cities, or teams building dashboards on top of grocery delivery data.

Would love feedback from anyone doing similar scraping work in the quick commerce space, especially on what other fields or cities would be useful to add.
