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 ## Shopify Google Shopping Feed Readiness Audit Find Shopify products likely to cause Google Merchant Center / Google Shopping feed problems before sync, ads, or marketplace catalog workflows fail. This Actor is for Shopify sellers, ecommerce operators, agencies, feed managers, collectibles shops, apparel stores, and marketplace sellers preparing products for Google Shopping, Merchant Center, Performance Max, Meta catalogs, eBay, CedCommerce, and other product-feed tools. ### What it checks - missing product titles - short or overly long titles - missing descriptions - thin descriptions - missing product type/category - missing vendor/brand - missing tags - missing product images - weak image coverage - images missing alt text - products with no variants/offers - variants with missing SKUs - variants with missing, invalid, zero, or negative prices - variants with missing public weight values - product feed-readiness score and top fix ### Input ```json { "storeUrl": "https://example.com", "maxProducts": 100, "minDescriptionWords": 30, "minImagesPerProduct": 1, "requireSkus": true, "checkPrices": true, "checkImages": true, "includePassingProducts": false } ```` #### Fields - `storeUrl` — public Shopify storefront URL. - `maxProducts` — maximum products to scan. - `minDescriptionWords` — descriptions below this are flagged as thin. - `minImagesPerProduct` — products below this image count are flagged. - `requireSkus` — flag variants with missing SKUs. - `checkPrices` — flag missing, invalid, zero, or negative variant prices. - `checkImages` — flag missing/weak images and missing alt text. - `includePassingProducts` — include products with no detected issues. ### Output Dataset row types: - `summary` - `product_feed_audit` - `feed_issue` - `variant_feed_issue` Example product row: ```json { "recordType": "product_feed_audit", "title": "Ceramic Coffee Mug 12oz", "url": "https://store.com/products/ceramic-coffee-mug-12oz", "variantCount": 1, "imageCount": 1, "descriptionWordCount": 18, "tagCount": 0, "missingSkuCount": 0, "invalidPriceCount": 0, "zeroPriceCount": 0, "score": 83, "grade": "good", "issueCodes": ["thin_description", "missing_tags"], "topFix": "Improve the product description with useful buyer and feed context." } ``` Example issue row: ```json { "recordType": "feed_issue", "issueCode": "missing_image", "severity": "critical", "googleShoppingRisk": "Product image is required for Shopping listings.", "message": "Product has no images.", "suggestedFix": "Add at least one clear product image." } ``` ### Why this matters Google Shopping and Merchant Center feeds rely on clean product data. Missing images, invalid prices, thin titles/descriptions, missing identifiers, and weak categorization can hurt approvals, feed quality, ad relevance, and catalog performance. The Actor does not modify your Shopify store. It reads the public Shopify product catalog endpoint and produces a CSV/API-friendly readiness report. # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrl` (type: `string`): Public Shopify storefront URL to audit. ## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of Shopify products to audit. ## `minDescriptionWords` (type: `integer`): Descriptions shorter than this are flagged as thin for Shopping feed context. ## `minImagesPerProduct` (type: `integer`): Products with fewer images than this are flagged for weak Shopping image coverage. ## `requireSkus` (type: `boolean`): Flag variants with missing SKUs as weak feed identifiers. ## `checkPrices` (type: `boolean`): Flag variants with missing, invalid, zero, or negative prices. ## `checkImages` (type: `boolean`): Flag products with missing or weak image coverage. ## `includePassingProducts` (type: `boolean`): When false, only products with feed-readiness issues are written, plus the summary. ## Actor input object example ```json { "storeUrl": "https://example.com", "maxProducts": 100, "minDescriptionWords": 30, "minImagesPerProduct": 1, "requireSkus": true, "checkPrices": true, "checkImages": true, "includePassingProducts": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "storeUrl": "https://example.com" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("charlieakan/shopify-google-shopping-feed-readiness-audit").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
