The Reject Shop AU Product Scraper

Turn The Reject Shop's public Australian catalog into structured data for price tracking, product research, assortment monitoring, and automations.

Choose an operation, run the Actor, and receive clean Dataset rows with product names, current and regular prices, availability, SKU, barcode, categories, images, variants, and source URLs. The Actor uses a lightweight Shopify Storefront API route, so it does not need a browser for normal operation.

What you can do

• Search products by keyword.
• Browse products from a collection handle.
• Retrieve a rich record for one product.
• Discover public category handles.
• Continue search or category pagination using OUTPUT.pageInfo.endCursor.
• Send the Dataset to Google Sheets, n8n, Make, Telegram, a database, or a CRM.

Quick start

Search for storage products:

{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "storage",
  "first": 20,
  "proxyMode": "direct"
}

The default direct route is the cheapest verified option. It is also the recommended production setting.

Operations

Search products

{
  "operation": "search",
  "query": "storage",
  "first": 20
}

Browse a category

Use categories first if you do not know the handle.

{
  "operation": "category",
  "handle": "body-wash",
  "first": 20
}

Get one product

By URL:

{
  "operation": "item",
  "url": "https://www.rejectshop.com.au/p/5pc-everything-shower-set"
}

Or by handle:

{
  "operation": "item",
  "handle": "5pc-everything-shower-set"
}

List categories

{
  "operation": "categories",
  "limit": 100
}

Output

Product rows can include:

Field	Meaning
id	Shopify product ID
slug	Product handle
name	Product name
source_url	Canonical product URL
category, breadcrumbs	Public category context
sku, barcode	Product identifiers
availability, in_stock	Stock status
price	Regular price
discount_price	Sale price when present
current_price	Price currently payable
currency	Price currency, normally AUD
images	Product image URLs
variants	Variant-level identifiers, prices, options, and stock

The default Dataset contains the requested rows. The OUTPUT record in the default key-value store contains:

{
  "source": "rejectshop",
  "operation": "search",
  "status": "success",
  "success": true,
  "total": 20,
  "errors": [],
  "pageInfo": {
    "hasNextPage": true,
    "endCursor": "..."
  },
  "proxy": {
    "requested_mode": "direct",
    "used_mode": "direct",
    "fallback_used": false,
    "errors": []
  }
}

Pagination

For search and category runs:

1. Read pageInfo.endCursor from the OUTPUT record.
2. Start another run with the same input and add "after": "...".
3. Stop when pageInfo.hasNextPage is false.

Proxy strategy

• direct — verified and recommended; no proxy traffic cost.
• auto — starts direct and falls back to Apify datacenter after a retryable failure.
• apify — Apify datacenter proxy.
• residential — Apify residential proxy in Australia.
• special — an account-specific Apify group supplied in proxyGroup.
• custom — a private proxy URL supplied in proxyUrl.

Proxy credentials are never written to Dataset or OUTPUT.

Use with n8n / Make

An importable n8n example is included in examples/n8n-reject-shop-to-google-sheets.json. It demonstrates:

1. Starting the Actor through the Apify API.
2. Waiting for the run to finish.
3. Reading the default Dataset.
4. Appending product rows to Google Sheets.

Set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable in n8n and configure your Google Sheets credential after import.

The same flow in Make is: HTTP — Make a request → JSON → Iterator → Google Sheets — Add a row.

Start through the API

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/dromb~reject-shop-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation":"search","query":"storage","first":20,"proxyMode":"direct"}'

Use data.defaultDatasetId from the response:

$curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?clean=true&format=json"
