## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopify Review Scraper

This Actor detects and scrapes Shopify review platforms without Playwright or Selenium. It accepts one or more store domains or URLs and currently supports:

- Okendo
- Yotpo v1 and v3
- Judge.me
- Stamped.io
- TestFreaks
- Junip

### Input

Use `storeDomains` for one or more domains or full URLs:

```json
{
  "storeDomains": ["snif.co", "drsquatch.com"],
  "mode": "fast",
  "maxReviews": 25,
  "outputFormat": "dataset"
}
```

### Output

Review rows are pushed to the default Dataset when `outputFormat` is `dataset` or `both`. The `OUTPUT` key in the default Key-Value Store contains a run summary for every requested store. When `outputFormat` is `files` or `both`, per-store JSON/CSV files are also stored in the Key-Value Store.

### Local Run

From this `apify` folder:

```powershell
apify run --purge
```

The sample local input is in `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json`.

# Actor input Schema

## `storeDomains` (type: `array`):

Enter one or more Shopify store domains or URLs. Examples: snif.co, drsquatch.com, https://truebotanicals.com

## `mode` (type: `string`):

Fast mode prioritizes speed with higher concurrency. Balanced mode is more conservative.

## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`):

Optional cap per store. Leave empty to scrape until platform pagination ends or maxPages is reached.

## `outputFormat` (type: `string`):

Dataset pushes review rows. Files stores JSON/CSV in key-value store. Both does both.

## `includeEmptyStatusItems` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, stores with no collected reviews still add a status row to the dataset.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Hard pagination cap for provider APIs.

## `timeoutSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Per-request timeout in seconds.

## `retries` (type: `integer`):

Retry attempts per request.

## `delay` (type: `integer`):

Base delay between slower pagination requests in milliseconds.

## `globalInflight` (type: `integer`):

Maximum concurrent HTTP requests. Fast mode may tune this upward.

## `perHostInflight` (type: `integer`):

Maximum concurrent HTTP requests per host. Fast mode may tune this upward.

## `maxJsFiles` (type: `integer`):

Upper bound for review-relevant JavaScript files fetched during detection.

## `detectionProductPages` (type: `integer`):

Number of product pages sampled during platform detection.

## `detectionMaxProductFetch` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap for product pages fetched during detection.

## `httpBackend` (type: `string`):

HTTP client backend.

## `parserBackend` (type: `string`):

HTML parser backend.

## `jsonBackend` (type: `string`):

JSON parser/serializer backend.

## `diskCacheEnabled` (type: `boolean`):

Cache HTTP responses within the current Actor run filesystem.

## `diskCacheTtlSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Time-to-live for cached responses.

## `memoryCacheEnabled` (type: `boolean`):

Cache duplicate HTTP requests in memory during each store run.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "storeDomains": [
        "snif.co",
        "drsquatch.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("genuismind/universal-shopify-review-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "storeDomains": [
        "snif.co",
        "drsquatch.com",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("genuismind/universal-shopify-review-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "storeDomains": [
    "snif.co",
    "drsquatch.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call genuismind/universal-shopify-review-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,genuismind/universal-shopify-review-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
