## 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.

# README

## Shopify Store Intelligence Lite

Extract public Shopify store intelligence: products, themes, apps, pricing, and competitive signals. Built for e-commerce agencies, DTC founders, and product researchers.

### What It Extracts

- **Store metadata**: Name, description, domain, favicon
- **Theme & apps**: Detected Shopify theme and installed apps
- **Products**: Product names, prices, descriptions, images (from public JSON endpoints)
- **Collections**: Product categories and collection structure
- **Pricing signals**: Price ranges, sale/discount detection, currency
- **SEO tags**: Title, description, canonical, schema markup
- **Social links**: Connected social media profiles

### Why It's Better

Affordable "lite" competitor intelligence without login or API access. Uses public Shopify endpoints (`/products.json`, `/collections.json`) that most Shopify stores expose. Perfect for quick competitive analysis.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `storeUrls` | string[] | required | Shopify store URLs to analyze |
| `maxProducts` | integer | 50 | Max products to extract per store (1-500) |
| `includeCollections` | boolean | true | Extract product collections |
| `includeSeoAudit` | boolean | true | Audit store SEO tags |

### Output Example

```json
{
  "storeUrl": "https://allbirds.com",
  "domain": "allbirds.com",
  "name": "Allbirds",
  "description": "The world's most comfortable shoes...",
  "theme": "Custom",
  "productCount": 156,
  "products": [
    {
      "title": "Wool Runners",
      "price": "$98.00",
      "compareAtPrice": null,
      "vendor": "Allbirds",
      "productType": "Shoes",
      "tags": ["wool", "sustainable", "mens"]
    }
  ],
  "collections": ["Men", "Women", "Kids", "New Arrivals"],
  "priceRange": { "min": 12.00, "max": 250.00, "currency": "USD" },
  "hasSales": true,
  "socialLinks": ["instagram.com/allbirds", "twitter.com/allbirds"],
  "seoTitle": "Allbirds | The Most Comfortable Shoes...",
  "seoDescription": "Made from natural materials...",
  "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
````

### Use Cases

- **Competitive analysis**: Monitor competitor products, pricing, and collections
- **Market research**: Analyze product trends across Shopify stores
- **Pricing intelligence**: Track price changes and sale patterns
- **Product sourcing**: Identify trending products and categories
- **Agency pitches**: Quick store analysis for potential clients

### PPE Pricing

| Event | Description | Suggested Price |
|-------|-------------|-----------------|
| `store-analyzed` | One store fully analyzed | $0.01 |
| `product-extracted` | Per product extracted | $0.001 |

### Limitations

- Only works with Shopify stores (not WooCommerce, Magento, etc.)
- Relies on public `/products.json` endpoint (some stores disable this)
- Theme detection is based on common patterns, may not identify custom themes
- App detection is limited to what's visible in page source
- Product data is limited to what's in the public JSON

### Legal/Ethical Use

This actor only accesses publicly available data from Shopify's standard endpoints. It does not bypass authentication, access admin panels, or scrape private data. Users are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.

### Local Run

```bash
cd actors/shopify-store-intelligence-lite
apify run --input-file .actor/sample_input.json
```

### Deploy

```bash
cd actors/shopify-store-intelligence-lite
apify push
```

### FAQ

**Q: Does it work with all Shopify stores?**
A: Most stores expose `/products.json`. Some may disable this endpoint or require authentication.

**Q: Can I extract more than 500 products?**
A: The `maxProducts` parameter caps at 500. For larger catalogs, consider running multiple times with pagination.

**Q: Does it detect Shopify apps?**
A: It detects apps that leave visible traces in page source (scripts, meta tags). It cannot see all installed apps.
