Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## MyIP.ms Shopify Stores Scraper Extract Shopify-hosted store domains from the public MyIP.ms hosting directory. This actor turns the MyIP.ms Shopify, Inc hosted-sites table into clean rows with store domains, IP addresses, hosting metadata, popularity estimates, DNS records, and source links. Use it when you need a seed list of Shopify and DTC commerce websites for lead generation, market mapping, enrichment, competitor monitoring, or catalog and pricing workflows. ### What does MyIP.ms Shopify Stores Scraper do? This actor reads MyIP.ms hosted-site directory pages and saves structured website records to an Apify dataset. The default input targets the Shopify, Inc owner page at `https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714`. It extracts the visible table data and the expanded detail row where MyIP.ms publishes extra signals such as daily visitors, reverse DNS, top-level host, DNS records, and record update time. ### Who is it for? - 🧲 Lead generation teams building Shopify merchant lists. - 🛒 Ecommerce agencies looking for Shopify prospects. - 📊 Market intelligence teams mapping DTC brands and commerce infrastructure. - 🔎 Data enrichment teams needing domain, IP, DNS, and hosting context. - 🤖 Automation builders who want a clean seed dataset for follow-up crawlers. ### Why use this actor? MyIP.ms is useful, but its directory is built for manual browsing. This actor converts those pages into exportable JSON, CSV, Excel, or API-ready records. You can plug the results into CRMs, enrichment tools, monitoring pipelines, or another Apify actor. ### How the source works MyIP.ms lists websites by hosting owner and IP metadata. The Shopify, Inc page includes popular hosted domains, their IP addresses, country, traffic rank, popularity estimates, and related DNS information. ### Data fields | Field | Description | | --- | --- | | `domain` | Domain shown in the MyIP.ms table. | | `websiteUrl` | HTTPS website URL built from the domain. | | `myipMsDetailUrl` | MyIP.ms detail page for the website. | | `ipAddress` | Website IP address from the directory row. | | `ipWhoisUrl` | MyIP.ms WHOIS link for the IP address. | | `hostingCompany` | Hosting company / IP owner. | | `hostingCountry` | Server location country. | | `hostingCity` | Server city if MyIP.ms shows it. | | `worldRank` | MyIP.ms world popularity rank. | | `dailyVisitors` | Estimated visitors per day from the expanded row. | | `reverseDnsHost` | Reverse DNS host value. | | `topLevelHostname` | Top-level hostname when present. | | `dnsRecords` | DNS record hostnames listed by MyIP.ms. | | `recordUpdateTime` | MyIP.ms record update timestamp. | | `sourceUrl` | Directory page used for the row. | | `pageNumber` | Page number attempted by the actor. | | `rowNumber` | Row number shown in the MyIP.ms table. | | `scrapedAt` | Actor extraction timestamp. | ### How much does it cost to scrape Shopify stores from MyIP.ms? The actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small run-start event plus a per-result event for each website record extracted. Apify shows the exact price before you run the actor. ### Input The input is intentionally small: ```json { "startUrls": ["https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714"], "maxResults": 20, "maxPages": 1, "delayMs": 1000, "maxRequestRetries": 3 } ```` ### Input options - `startUrls` — MyIP.ms hosted-site directory URLs to scrape. - `maxResults` — maximum records to save. - `maxPages` — maximum directory pages to attempt per start URL. - `delayMs` — polite delay between page requests. - `maxRequestRetries` — retry limit for temporary failures. ### Output example ```json { "domain": "shopify.com", "websiteUrl": "https://shopify.com", "myipMsDetailUrl": "https://myip.ms/view/sites/2379/shopify.com", "ipAddress": "23.227.38.33", "hostingCompany": "Shopify, Inc", "hostingCountry": "Canada", "worldRank": 122, "dailyVisitors": 2100000, "reverseDnsHost": "checkout.shopify.com", "sourceUrl": "https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714", "pageNumber": 1, "scrapedAt": "2026-05-20T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Step-by-step guide 1. Open the actor on Apify. 2. Keep the prefilled Shopify MyIP.ms URL or paste another MyIP.ms directory URL. 3. Set `maxResults` to the number of records you need. 4. Keep `maxPages` low for a quick test run. 5. Click **Start**. 6. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON, or access it by API. ### Tips for best results - Start with 20 results to confirm the dataset shape. - Increase `maxResults` only after a small run succeeds. - Keep `delayMs` at 1000 ms or higher for polite crawling. - Use the `myipMsDetailUrl` field for manual verification. - Combine the dataset with store enrichment or website crawling actors. ### Pagination note MyIP.ms may show human-verification pages for some paginated or export endpoints. The actor stops gracefully if that happens and keeps all records already extracted. The default prefill stays on page 1 because it is reliable and inexpensive for first runs. ### Integrations You can connect this actor to: - CRM imports for Shopify merchant outreach. - Domain enrichment pipelines. - Website screenshot or technology-detection actors. - Pricing and catalog monitoring workflows. - BI dashboards for Shopify market maps. ### API usage #### Node.js ```js import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN }); const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper').call({ startUrls: ['https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714'], maxResults: 20, maxPages: 1 }); console.log(run.defaultDatasetId); ``` #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN') run = client.actor('automation-lab/myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper').call(run_input={ 'startUrls': ['https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714'], 'maxResults': 20, 'maxPages': 1, }) print(run['defaultDatasetId']) ``` #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"startUrls":["https://myip.ms/browse/sites/1/own/376714"],"maxResults":20,"maxPages":1}' ``` ### MCP usage Use this actor from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or another MCP client through Apify MCP: `https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper` Claude Code CLI setup: ```bash claude mcp add apify-myip-shopify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper" ``` Claude Desktop JSON config: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify-myip-shopify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/myip-ms-shopify-stores-scraper" } } } ``` Example prompts: - "Run the MyIP.ms Shopify Stores Scraper for 20 records and summarize the highest-traffic domains." - "Export Shopify-hosted domains with daily visitors above 10,000." - "Find DNS hosts repeated across the MyIP.ms Shopify sample." ### Legality This actor extracts publicly available MyIP.ms directory pages. You are responsible for using the output lawfully, respecting MyIP.ms terms, and complying with privacy, outreach, and data-processing rules in your jurisdiction. ### FAQ #### What is the best first run size? Use the prefilled 20-record input first. It is enough to validate the columns, costs, and MyIP.ms availability before increasing volume. ### Troubleshooting #### Why did I get fewer results than requested? MyIP.ms can interrupt paginated requests with human verification. The actor saves rows already extracted and stops gracefully when that happens. #### Why is `hostingCity` empty? MyIP.ms often leaves the city column empty for Shopify-hosted records. The actor preserves the field when available. #### Can I scrape non-Shopify MyIP.ms pages? Yes. Paste another MyIP.ms hosted-site directory URL into `startUrls`. The output fields remain hosting-directory focused. ### Related scrapers - https://apify.com/automation-lab/shopify-scraper - https://apify.com/automation-lab/ecommerce-scraping-tool - https://apify.com/automation-lab/website-content-crawler - https://apify.com/automation-lab/domain-extractor ### Changelog #### 0.1 Initial version for MyIP.ms Shopify hosted-site directory records. ### Notes - Source pages are public MyIP.ms pages. - The actor is HTTP-only and does not use a browser. - The default input is designed for a cheap first run. - Results include source URLs for auditability. - Dataset rows are suitable for CSV and API workflows. ### Field quality checklist - Domains are lowercased. - URLs are absolute. - Numeric ranks and visitor counts are parsed as numbers. - DNS records are exported as an array. - Duplicate domains are skipped across start URLs. ### Responsible use Use the output as a starting dataset, not as a guarantee that every domain is an active Shopify storefront today. Validate high-value targets before outreach or business decisions. ### Support If MyIP.ms changes its table layout or verification behavior, open an issue with a run URL and sample input so the actor can be adjusted. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): MyIP.ms hosted-site directory pages to scrape.
