## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopify Store Products Scraper: Prices, Variants & Stock

Exports a Shopify store's **full public catalog** — products, variants, prices, compare-at prices,
SKUs, stock status, images, descriptions, options and weights — as clean dataset rows you can pipe
into a spreadsheet, a database, or another tool. It reads only `products.json`, the catalog that
every Shopify storefront publishes to everyone, and returns what is on the shelf right now.

This is a catalog exporter, not a change monitor: every run returns the whole (filtered) catalog.
If you want "tell me what changed since last time" instead, use our
[Shopify Price & Stock Change Tracker](https://apify.com/mmnm/shopify-price-stock-change-tracker).

### Use cases

- **Competitor catalog pulls** — prices, variants and stock for market research, repricing or analysis.
- **Spreadsheet and BI feeds** — connect the dataset to Google Sheets, Excel, or any Apify integration.
- **Collection-scoped exports** — set `collection` to export one collection only.
- **Keyword-targeted exports** — set `keywords` to export only products whose title, type or tags match.

### Input

```json
{
  "storeUrls": ["https://www.allbirds.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 100,
  "includeVariants": true,
  "collection": "",
  "keywords": []
}
```

- `storeUrls` (required): store base URLs, e.g. `https://www.allbirds.com`. Paths are ignored.
- `maxProductsPerStore` (default 5,000, maximum 50,000): the most products read per store per run
  (250 per request). Stores with more products are marked `truncated` in their store row.
- `includeVariants` (default `true`): one row per **variant** with price, SKU, stock, options and
  weight — or set `false` for one row per **product** with a `price_min`/`price_max` range.
- `collection` (optional): a collection handle to export only that collection — for
  `https://www.allbirds.com/collections/mens`, use `mens`.
- `keywords` (optional): only export products whose title, `product_type`, or tags contain **every**
  keyword (case-insensitive substring match). Filtered-out products are not charged.

### Output

Three kinds of rows:

- `type: "variant"` — one per variant: `store`, `product_id`, `handle`, `title`, `vendor`,
  `product_type`, `tags`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `published_at`, `url`, `image` (all image URLs),
  `body_text` (description, HTML stripped, capped at 5,000 characters), `variant_id`, `variant_title`,
  `sku`, `price`, `compare_at_price`, `available`, `option1/2/3`, `grams`, `requires_shipping`.
- `type: "product"` — one per product (with `includeVariants: false`): the same product fields plus
  `price_min`, `price_max`, `any_available`.
- `type: "store"` — one free status row per store: `status` (`ok`, `not_shopify`, `blocked`, `error`),
  `products_found`, `truncated`, and any error detail. Every run leaves at least one row, even when
  every store fails.

The run summary is saved to the default key-value store as `OUTPUT`, including a `stopped_reason`
(`"max_total_charge"` when the run's maximum charge stopped it early).

### Sample output

From a live run against `https://www.allbirds.com` (`includeVariants: true`, `maxProductsPerStore: 100`):

```json
{
  "type": "variant",
  "store": "www.allbirds.com",
  "product_id": "7340901859408",
  "handle": "womens-allbirds-flip-flop-dusty-pink",
  "title": "Women's Allbirds Flip Flop",
  "vendor": "Allbirds",
  "product_type": "Shoes",
  "tags": ["allbirds::material => sugar", "allbirds::gender => womens", "…"],
  "created_at": "2026-04-30T15:53:21-04:00",
  "updated_at": "2026-09-25T17:39:32-04:00",
  "published_at": "2026-04-30T15:53:21-04:00",
  "url": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/womens-allbirds-flip-flop-dusty-pink",
  "image": ["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/…/files/dusty-pink-1.png", "…"],
  "body_text": "Our Sugar Zeffers are back…",
  "variant_id": "42146889039952",
  "variant_title": "5",
  "sku": "A12513W050",
  "price": 25,
  "compare_at_price": 50,
  "available": false,
  "option1": "5",
  "option2": null,
  "option3": null,
  "grams": 455,
  "requires_shipping": true
}
```

And the free store row that closes every store's run:

```json
{
  "type": "store",
  "store": "www.allbirds.com",
  "status": "ok",
  "products_found": 100,
  "products_exported": 100,
  "variants_exported": 1263,
  "truncated": true,
  "truncation_reason": "max_products",
  "collection": null,
  "error_code": null,
  "error_message": null,
  "note": "Stopped at maxProductsPerStore (100).",
  "run_at": "2026-09-29T20:41:12.489Z"
}
```

Prices are numbers in the store's own currency. `products.json` does not say which currency that is,
so the Actor does not guess.

### What it costs

**$1 per 1,000 products exported** ($0.001 per product). You pay only for products exported.

- A product is charged once, however many variants it has. Variants are never charged extra.
- Products filtered out by `keywords` are **not** charged. Skipped and failed stores are not charged.
- Store status rows are free.
- Set a **maximum cost per run** in Apify and the Actor respects it: it stops fetching when the
  budget is used up, keeps what it already exported, marks the affected stores `truncated`, and
  records `stopped_reason: "max_total_charge"` in the OUTPUT summary. It never charges past your limit.

Worked examples:

- **1 store, 1,000 products, all variants:** 1,000 × $0.001 = **$1.00** per run.
- **Full 5,000-product catalog, product rows only:** 5,000 × $0.001 = **$5.00** per run.

### Limits — the honest list

- **Public `products.json` only.** The Actor reads the catalog Shopify storefronts publish to every
  visitor. It never logs in, never touches cart or checkout, and collects no personal data.
- **Some stores disable or block `products.json`.** HTTP 403/401 or a hidden catalog is reported as a
  store row with `status: "blocked"`; a site that is not Shopify at all reports `not_shopify`. There
  is no workaround in this Actor, by design.
- **Only products published to the Online Store** appear in `products.json`. Hidden, draft, or
  channel-only products are not visible.
- **No sales numbers.** Public catalogs carry no sales, revenue, or inventory-quantity data. Only
  in stock / out of stock is available.
- **Currency is whatever the store's default is** and is not included in the response.
- **It is polite, which makes it slower on big catalogs.** One request at a time per store, at least
  1 second apart, honoring HTTP 429 `Retry-After`. Up to three stores run in parallel.
- **Descriptions are capped** at 5,000 characters of HTML-stripped text (`body_text`). The original
  `body_html` is not returned.

### FAQ

**Is this allowed?** The Actor reads the same public JSON catalog that Shopify serves to every
visitor, at about one request per second, and identifies itself in its User-Agent. You are
responsible for your own use of the data and for respecting each store's terms.

**Why did I get fewer products than the store actually has?** Check the store row: `truncated: true`
with `truncation_reason: "max_products"` means `maxProductsPerStore` cut the run short — raise it.
`status: "blocked"` or `"not_shopify"` means the store's public catalog could not be read at all.

**Does it support collections or filters?** Yes: `collection` for one collection handle, `keywords`
for title/type/tag matching. Filtered-out products are not charged.

**What currency are the prices in?** The store's own default currency, exactly as `products.json`
reports the number. The response does not say which currency it is.

**Do you charge per variant?** No. One charge per product exported, whatever its variant count.

**Can it get sales or inventory counts?** No. That data is not in a Shopify store's public catalog.

# Actor input Schema

## `storeUrls` (type: `array`):

Store base URLs, e.g. https://www.allbirds.com. Paths are ignored; only the public /products.json catalog is read.

## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many products per store (250 per request). If a store has more, that store is marked truncated.

## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`):

When true (default), the dataset has one row per variant, with price, SKU, stock, options and weight. When false, one row per product, with a price range.

## `collection` (type: `string`):

Optional. Export only one collection, by its URL handle: for https://www.allbirds.com/collections/mens, use mens.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Optional. Only export products whose title, product type or tags contain these keywords (case-insensitive, all keywords must match).

```

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).
