## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## Shopify Product Scraper

### What does Shopify Product Scraper do?

**Shopify Product Scraper** extracts product listings from any Shopify-powered store. It fetches titles, prices, availability, vendor info, images, and tags directly from the store's **JSON API** — no HTML scraping required. Just provide a store URL and get structured data in seconds.

Run it on [Apify](https://apify.com) to get API access, scheduling, automatic proxy rotation, monitoring, and data export in JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

### Why use Shopify Product Scraper?

- **Extract product catalogs** — Download complete product listings from any Shopify store for market research, price monitoring, or inventory analysis.
- **No scraping infrastructure** — The Shopify JSON API returns clean, structured data. No need to parse HTML or handle dynamic content.
- **Collection scoping** — Target specific collections (e.g., "mens-shoes", "sale") to narrow results.
- **Pay per result** — 10 free results per run, then $0.02 per additional result. Only pay for what you use.

### Use Cases

#### How to scrape product listings from any Shopify store

Enter the store URL (e.g., `https://allbirds.com`) and the scraper fetches products via the public `/products.json` API. No authentication needed — every Shopify store exposes this endpoint.

#### How to monitor competitor prices on Shopify

Schedule weekly runs of competitors stores. Compare the `price` and `compare_at_price` fields across runs to detect price changes, sales, and new product launches.

#### How to build a product catalog from multiple Shopify stores

Run the scraper against multiple store URLs and aggregate results. Filter by `product_type` or `tags` to categorize products. Export to CSV for import into your database.

#### How to track product availability on Shopify

The `available` boolean field tells you if a product is in stock. Schedule daily runs and track when products go in and out of stock.

### How to use Shopify Product Scraper

1. **Enter the store URL** — Provide the Shopify store's base URL, e.g. `https://allbirds.com`.
2. **(Optional) Enter a collection handle** — If you want products from a specific collection, add the handle (the URL slug from `/collections/{handle}`).
3. **Set the max results** — Choose how many products to scrape (up to 500).
4. **Run the Actor** — Click "Run" and wait for results to appear in the dataset.

The Actor fetches products via the store's public `/products.json` API endpoint, paginates through results, and pushes each product to the output dataset.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| ------- | ------ | ---------- | ------------- |
| `store_url` | string | Yes | Shopify store URL (e.g. `https://allbirds.com`) |
| `collection` | string | No | Collection handle for a subset of products |
| `max_results` | integer | No | Max products to return (default: 50, max: 500) |

Example input:

```json
{
    "store_url": "https://allbirds.com",
    "collection": "mens-shoes",
    "max_results": 100
}
````

### Output

Each result is a JSON object with these fields:

| Field | Type | Description |
| ------- | ------ | ------------- |
| `title` | string | Product title |
| `handle` | string | Product URL slug |
| `url` | string | Full product page URL |
| `price` | string | Formatted price (e.g. `$95.00`) |
| `compare_at_price` | string or null | Original price (if on sale) |
| `available` | boolean | Whether the product is in stock |
| `vendor` | string | Brand or vendor name |
| `product_type` | string | Product category |
| `image_url` | string or null | Main product image URL |
| `tags` | array of strings | Product tags |

Example output:

```json
{
    "title": "Wool Runner",
    "handle": "wool-runner",
    "url": "https://allbirds.com/products/wool-runner",
    "price": "$95.00",
    "compare_at_price": null,
    "available": true,
    "vendor": "Allbirds",
    "product_type": "Shoes",
    "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/.../image.jpg",
    "tags": ["wool", "sneakers", "sustainable"]
}
```

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console.

n**Cost example:** 50 products = 40 paid × $0.02 = **$0.80 per run**. First 10 results are free.

### Pricing / Cost estimation

The first 10 results of each run are **free**. After that, each additional result costs **$0.02** (2 cents) through Apify's pay-per-event (PPE) billing.

For a typical run of 100 products: 90 chargeable results × $0.02 = **$1.80**.
For 500 products: 490 chargeable results × $0.02 = **$9.80**.

These costs are estimates — actual Apify platform fees may apply. Check the [Apify pricing page](https://apify.com/pricing) for details.

### Tips

- **Collection handles** are the URL slugs from `/collections/{handle}` — navigate to a collection page on the store and copy the last segment of the URL.
- **Max results** caps at 500. If you need more, run the Actor multiple times with different collection handles or contact us for a custom solution.
- **Rate limits** — Shopify stores may rate-limit public API access. The Actor uses sensible timeouts, but for large-scale scraping consider using Apify proxy.

### FAQ, disclaimers, and support

**Is this legal?** Scraping publicly available data from e-commerce stores generally falls under legitimate data collection. However, always review the target website's Terms of Service and `robots.txt`. The Actor uses the public JSON API — it does not bypass authentication or access private data.

**Known limitations:** The Shopify public products API returns at most 250 products per page and may not include all product variants. For variant-level detail, you would need to scrape individual product pages.

**Need help or a custom solution?** Open an issue on the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/apify/fleet/issues) tab or contact us for tailored scraping solutions.
