# Shopify Scraper (`bornoo/shopify-scraper`) Actor

Scrape product data from any Shopify store using just its URL. This Actor extracts titles, prices, variants, images, SKUs, and stock status via Shopify's public JSON API, delivering clean structured data — perfect for price monitoring, catalog exports, competitor tracking, and market research.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Shopify Store Scraper

Scrape product data from any Shopify store using just its store URL. This Actor
uses Shopify's public `/products.json` API endpoint — no HTML parsing required —
to deliver clean, structured product data.

### What data does it extract?

For every product on a given Shopify store, this Actor extracts:

- Title, handle, and product URL
- Vendor and product type
- Tags
- Created / updated / published dates
- Min and max price across variants
- Full variant details (SKU, price, availability, inventory, weight)
- All product images

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | Array | List of Shopify store URLs to scrape |
| `maxItems` | Integer | Max products per store (0 = no limit) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify Proxy settings |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

### Output

Each scraped product is pushed as one item to the dataset, e.g.:

```json
{
  "storeUrl": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com",
  "productId": 123456789,
  "title": "Example Product",
  "handle": "example-product",
  "productUrl": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com/products/example-product",
  "vendor": "Example Vendor",
  "minPrice": 19.99,
  "maxPrice": 29.99,
  "variants": [ ... ],
  "images": [ "..." ]
}
```

### How it works

1. Reads the `startUrls` list from input.
2. For each store, paginates through `/products.json?limit=250&page=N`.
3. Parses and normalizes each product's data.
4. Pushes results to the Apify dataset.
5. Stops when a store returns no more products or `maxItems` is reached.

### Notes

- Works only on stores that haven't disabled the public products JSON endpoint.
- Currency is not returned by this endpoint — cross-reference with the store's
  storefront if currency detection is required.

# Actor input Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bornoo/shopify-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("bornoo/shopify-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://examplestore.myshopify.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call bornoo/shopify-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bornoo/shopify-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
