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 Product Image & Marketplace Photo Audit Find Shopify products with missing images, weak image coverage, missing alt text, duplicate media, broken image URLs, and variants without photos before they hurt marketplace listings or sales. This Actor is for Shopify sellers, collectibles shops, apparel stores, marketplace sellers, agencies, and ecommerce teams that need cleaner product media for Shopify, Google Shopping, eBay, Meta catalogs, CedCommerce, and other channels. ### What it checks - products with zero images - products with too few images - variants missing assigned images - images missing alt text - duplicate image URLs - optionally broken image URLs - marketplace photo readiness score per product - top fix recommendation per product ### Input ```json { "storeUrl": "https://example.com", "maxProducts": 100, "minImagesPerProduct": 2, "requireVariantImages": true, "checkAltText": true, "checkDuplicateImages": true, "probeImageUrls": false, "includePassingProducts": false } ```` #### Fields - `storeUrl` — public Shopify storefront URL. - `maxProducts` — maximum products to scan. - `minImagesPerProduct` — minimum expected image count per product. - `requireVariantImages` — flag variants without assigned images. - `checkAltText` — flag product images missing alt text. - `checkDuplicateImages` — flag repeated image URLs. - `probeImageUrls` — make HTTP requests to detect broken images. Slower, but more complete. - `includePassingProducts` — include products with no detected issues. ### Output Dataset row types: - `summary` - `product_image_audit` - `variant_image_audit` - `image_issue` Example product row: ```json { "recordType": "product_image_audit", "title": "Pokemon Booster Pack", "url": "https://store.com/products/pokemon-booster-pack", "imageCount": 1, "variantCount": 6, "variantsMissingImages": 5, "missingAltTextCount": 1, "duplicateImageCount": 0, "brokenImageCount": 0, "score": 42, "grade": "critical", "issueCodes": ["too_few_images", "variant_missing_image", "missing_alt_text"], "topFix": "Assign images to each variant so shoppers can see the exact option they are buying." } ``` ### Why this matters Weak product photos can hurt: - Shopify conversion rate - Google Shopping listings - eBay and marketplace sync quality - Meta catalog quality - customer confidence - variant selection clarity - returns and support burden The Actor does not modify your Shopify store. It reads the public Shopify product catalog endpoint and produces a CSV/API-friendly report. # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrl` (type: `string`): Public Shopify storefront URL, for example https://example.com. ## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to audit. ## `minImagesPerProduct` (type: `integer`): Products with fewer images than this are flagged. ## `requireVariantImages` (type: `boolean`): Flag variants that do not have their own assigned image. ## `checkAltText` (type: `boolean`): Flag images missing alt text. ## `checkDuplicateImages` (type: `boolean`): Flag products with repeated image URLs. ## `probeImageUrls` (type: `boolean`): Make lightweight HTTP requests to detect broken image URLs. Slower but more complete. ## `includePassingProducts` (type: `boolean`): Include product rows even when no issues were found. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxProducts": 100, "minImagesPerProduct": 2, "requireVariantImages": true, "checkAltText": true, "checkDuplicateImages": true, "probeImageUrls": false, "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 = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("charlieakan/shopify-product-image-marketplace-photo-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 📖?
