Coles Reviews Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes product review data from Coles, an Australian supermarket chain. It's designed for e-commerce analysis, market research, and competitive intelligence.

• Ease of Use: Configure with a single URL input and run directly on the Apify platform.
• Structured Output: Returns clean, parseable JSON data for easy integration and analysis.
