Shopify Products Scraper

What does Shopify Products Scraper do?

Shopify Products Scraper collects product data from public Shopify stores in a single run. It reads each store's public products.json feed, supports multiple stores at once, and saves structured product records to an Apify dataset.

Use it to build catalogs, monitor competitors, enrich analytics pipelines, or export Shopify product data at scale.

Features

• Scrape multiple Shopify stores in one Actor run
• Set a product limit per store
• Control parallelism across stores with round-robin scheduling
• Limit requests per host to reduce rate-limit errors
• Choose between short (condensed) or full (complete Shopify JSON) output
• Optional Apify Proxy support for stores that block direct requests (disabled by default)

Input

Configure the Actor in the Input tab. Main fields:

Field	Description
websites	Required. One or more Shopify store URLs.
limitPerSource	Maximum products to scrape per store (default: 250).
maxConcurrency	Max parallel page requests across stores (default: 5).
maxRequestsPerSecond	Per-host request rate limit (default: 2). Lower this if you see HTTP 429 errors.
outputType	short for a compact schema, or full for complete product JSON.
proxyConfiguration	Optional. Direct requests are tried first; proxy is used as fallback.

Website examples

Simple URL list:

[
  "https://www.allbirds.com",
  "https://gymshark.com"
]

URLs with optional source IDs (included in output as sourceId):

[
  { "id": "allbirds", "url": "https://www.allbirds.com" },
  { "id": "gymshark", "url": "gymshark.com" }
]

Store URLs are normalized automatically. Duplicate URLs are removed.

Output

Results are saved to the default dataset. You can download them as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or RSS from the run's Storage tab.

The Output tab includes Short and Full views that match the outputType input setting.

Short output (outputType: "short")

Compact records for reporting and catalog overviews. Main fields include:

Field	Description
store	Store hostname
title	Product title
url	Product page URL
vendor	Product vendor
priceMin / priceMax	Variant price range
available	Whether any variant is available
featuredImage	Primary image URL
tags	Product tags
sourceId	Your optional source identifier

Full output (outputType: "full")

Complete Shopify product objects with scrape metadata (store, sourceUrl, scrapedAt, sourceId) plus standard fields such as variants, images, and options.

Output example (short)

{
  "store": "www.allbirds.com",
  "title": "Wool Runner",
  "url": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/wool-runner",
  "vendor": "Allbirds",
  "priceMin": 98,
  "priceMax": 98,
  "available": true,
  "featuredImage": "https://cdn.shopify.com/...",
  "tags": ["shoes", "wool"],
  "sourceId": "allbirds"
}

Tips

• Start with a low limitPerSource when testing new stores.
• If a store blocks requests, enable Apify Proxy in proxyConfiguration. The Actor tries direct access first and switches to proxy only when needed.
• Lower maxRequestsPerSecond if you encounter rate limiting (HTTP 429).
• Use outputType: "short" for dashboards and exports; use full when you need raw Shopify product structure.

Limitations

• Works with public Shopify stores that expose the standard products.json endpoint.
• Some stores may block scraping, return incomplete data, or require proxy access.
• This Actor scrapes product catalog data only; it does not log in to Shopify Admin.
