## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Shopify Product & Price Scraper - Catalog Monitor

Scrape public Shopify stores and export clean product catalog data: product names, prices, compare-at prices, discounts, variants, SKUs, availability signals, images, vendors, tags, product types, and product URLs.

This Actor is built for ecommerce teams, price monitoring, competitor research, dropshipping research, catalog audits, and market intelligence. No Shopify API key or store login is required.

### What You Can Scrape

- Product title, handle, vendor, product type, tags
- Current price, compare-at price, min/max variant price
- Discount percentage when a product is on sale
- Variant count, SKUs, options, and availability signals
- Product image URLs and featured image
- Product URL and store domain
- Published and updated timestamps when available

### Common Use Cases

- Monitor competitor Shopify prices
- Build product datasets for market research
- Find discounted products across many stores
- Track product catalog changes over time
- Collect product feeds for ecommerce analytics
- Export Shopify product data to CSV, JSON, Excel, Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, or an API workflow

### Input

Add one or more Shopify store URLs:

```json
{
  "storeUrls": ["https://allbirds.com", "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 50,
  "maxTotalProducts": 100
}
```

You can also paste many stores into **Bulk store URLs**.

### Output

Each dataset item is one Shopify product:

```json
{
  "storeDomain": "allbirds.com",
  "title": "Men's Wool Runner",
  "vendor": "Allbirds",
  "productType": "Shoes",
  "price": 98,
  "compareAtPrice": 120,
  "discountPercent": 18,
  "available": true,
  "variantCount": 8,
  "productUrl": "https://allbirds.com/products/mens-wool-runners",
  "featuredImage": "https://cdn.shopify.com/..."
}
```

### Notes

The Actor uses the public Shopify `/products.json` feed. Some stores disable or block this feed; those stores are reported clearly in the `ERRORS` key-value record and are not billed as output rows.

For small tests, keep the default `maxTotalProducts` at `100`. For larger competitor monitoring jobs, increase `maxProductsPerStore` and use scheduling in Apify.

### Pricing Recommendation

Recommended Store pricing: **$1.00 per 500 products** (`$0.002` per result). This keeps the Actor affordable for users while giving better revenue per successful run than very cheap generic scrapers.

# Actor input Schema

## `storeUrls` (type: `array`):

Shopify store homepages or product/catalog URLs. The Actor will use each store's public /products.json feed.

## `storeUrlsText` (type: `string`):

Paste one Shopify store URL per line or comma-separated.

## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`):

Maximum products to scrape from each Shopify store.

## `maxTotalProducts` (type: `integer`):

Maximum products to output across the whole run. Default is 100 so test runs stay small.

## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`):

Include all product variants in each output row.

## `includeImages` (type: `boolean`):

Include image URLs for each product.

## `onlyAvailable` (type: `boolean`):

Only output products with at least one available variant.

## `onlyDiscounted` (type: `boolean`):

Only output products where compare-at price is higher than current price.

## `dedupe` (type: `boolean`):

Remove duplicate product URLs across stores.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Delay between page requests to each Shopify store.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of stores to scrape in parallel.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy. Most Shopify product feeds work without a proxy.

## `debugMode` (type: `boolean`):

Verbose logging.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://allbirds.com",
    "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com"

```

# Actor output Schema

## `products` (type: `string`):

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "storeUrls": [
        "https://allbirds.com",
        "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("groupoject/shopify-product-price-monitor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "storeUrls": [
        "https://allbirds.com",
        "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com",

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://allbirds.com",
    "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call groupoject/shopify-product-price-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,groupoject/shopify-product-price-monitor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
