Shopify Product Scraper: Catalog & Prices

Scrape public Shopify product catalog rows from store domains for ecommerce research, price monitoring, product comparison, and catalog reporting. The Actor reads public Shopify products.json endpoints and saves clean product rows with titles, brands, prices, MRP, discounts, product types, stock status, image URLs, product URLs, and scrape timestamps.

No Shopify login, Admin API token, app install, or store owner access is required. The Actor only collects public catalog data that the store exposes through its storefront.

Quick Start

Use this one-product sample to verify output at low cost:

{
  "storeUrls": ["allbirds.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 1,
  "productType": "",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Most Shopify stores expose products.json openly, so the default proxy setting is off. If a store blocks direct access, enable Apify Proxy and try a Residential proxy group.

What It Extracts

• Source, store/domain query, result position, and product ID
• Product title, brand/vendor, and product type
• Lowest variant price, compare-at/MRP, discount percentage, and currency placeholder
• First non-default variant title in packSize
• Stock status from variant availability
• Product URL, image URL, and ISO scrape timestamp

Use Cases

• Monitor competitor Shopify prices, MRP, discounts, and stock status
• Build catalog snapshots from one or more Shopify storefronts
• Compare product assortment, categories, brands, and price ranges
• Feed product rows into CSV, Excel, dashboards, or price-change reports
• Schedule repeat runs and diff public product catalogs over time

Pricing And Cost Control

This Actor uses Apify Pay Per Event pricing. As of the latest live check, active pricing is:

Event	Price
product-scraped	$0.0015 per saved product
apify-actor-start	$0.00005 per GB start event

Products are charged only when a clean row is saved to the dataset. The Actor pushes and charges each product atomically, then stops before further requests when the run's maximum charge is reached.

Platform usage such as compute and proxy traffic may also apply depending on your Apify plan and run configuration. The default run uses 512 MB and proxy off to keep simple Shopify storefront tests light.

Cost-control tips:

• Start with one store and maxProductsPerStore: 1.
• Increase the product limit only after the first run confirms the output fits your use case.
• Use productType when you only need one store category.
• Keep proxy off for open stores; enable Residential proxy only for protected stores.
• Use the run's maximum cost setting if you want a strict spending cap.

Input Fields

Field	Type	Description
storeUrls	string[]	One to five Shopify domains or URLs, for example allbirds.com
maxProductsPerStore	integer	Maximum products saved per store, up to 1000

Reliability Notes

• The Actor reads public /products.json data. It does not access hidden, draft, admin-only, customer, order, or inventory-management data.
• Some stores disable or protect products.json; those stores may fail unless you use a proxy or may not be accessible.
• Shopify catalogs can expose different fields by theme/app setup. Missing values are saved as null or N/A.
• The Actor fails zero-product runs instead of silently reporting success with no saved products.

Use it only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable website terms, privacy laws, and local regulations. Do not use it to collect private customer data, order data, admin data, seller contact lists, or non-public information.
