Exports 📦

• Dataset: All items are written to the default Apify dataset.
• Export to CSV/JSON/Parquet via Apify UI or API as needed.

---

Best practices 🧩

• Start small: test with a single page (start_page = end_page = 1).
• Respect limits: keep page ranges reasonable to avoid long runs.
• Post-process: map variants and images into your analytics schema after export.

---

FAQ ❓

• Do I need a Shopify account?
  • No. The Actor works on public store data.
• Where do results go?
  • The default Apify dataset for the run.
• Can I filter by collection?
  • Use group_by_collection: true to organize by collection if available, then filter after export.
• Which regions are supported?
  • Works globally for publicly accessible Shopify stores (subject to store availability and access rules).
