🌟 Why Use Shopify Store & Product Catalog Spy?

Traditional e-commerce scrapers require slow browser instances (Puppeteer/Playwright), expensive residential proxies, and constantly break whenever website themes change.

Shopify Store & Product Catalog Spy takes an entirely different approach:

• ⚡ Lightning Fast: Extracts up to 250 products per request in under 200 milliseconds.
• 🛡️ Zero Bot Blocks & Captchas: Queries the store's native product endpoints directly with zero proxy overhead.
• 📦 Complete Product Metadata: Captures titles, handles, descriptions, vendors, categories, tags, image galleries, and structured option matrices.
• 🏷️ Variant-Level Granularity: Extracts every SKU, size, color, exact price, compare-at (original) price, and stock status.
• 🎯 Advanced Filters: Filter by keywords, minimum date (new arrivals), in-stock availability, or flatten output for 1-click Google Sheets / ERP import.

🚀 How to Integrate with Automation Tools

1. Python (via Apify Client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [{"url": "https://allbirds.com"}],
    "maxProductsPerStore": 100,
    "onlyInStock": True
}

run = client.actor("knobby_wallpaper/shopify-product-catalog-spy").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"Product: {item['title']} - Price: ${item['minPrice']} (In Stock: {item['inStock']})")

2. n8n / Make.com / Zapier

Connect the Apify node to trigger on schedule, feed the resulting JSON to Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion, and send alerts on price drops or newly detected products.
