Shopify Store Search (Predictive) Scraper

Search any Shopify store through the public predictive search JSON endpoint. Pick store URLs and queries, set a limit, and export clean JSON, CSV, or Excel without any complicated setup.

What it does

This actor calls each store's /search/suggest.json endpoint and saves matching products as dataset rows. Each successful row keeps the Shopify resources payload alongside the request URL and scrape time.

Modes

• Predictive search queries one or more Shopify stores with your search terms and resource types.
