Shopify Restock & Price Change Monitor

Detect new products, restocks, sellouts, removed variants, and price changes from a public Shopify storefront.

This Actor is built for sellers, collectors, resellers, and operators who need a simple catalog change report without wiring up Shopify Admin API access.

What it checks

The Actor fetches public Shopify product data from:

/products.json

It stores a baseline snapshot in Apify key-value storage, then compares future runs using the same snapshotKey.

It can detect:

• new variants
• restocked variants
• sold-out variants
• removed variants
• price changes
• compare-at price changes

Input

{
  "storeUrl": "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com",
  "maxProducts": 250,
  "snapshotKey": "deathwish-daily",
  "emitUnchangedProducts": false,
  "resetBaseline": false
}

Recommended workflow

First run

Run once to save the baseline:

{
  "storeUrl": "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com",
  "snapshotKey": "deathwish-daily",
  "resetBaseline": true
}

Later runs

Run again with the same snapshotKey:

{
  "storeUrl": "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com",
  "snapshotKey": "deathwish-daily"
}

The Actor outputs a summary row and one row per detected change.

Notes

Some Shopify stores block public /products.json access. If that happens, the Actor writes a no-charge summary row explaining the endpoint is unavailable.
