## 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`).

### 🥊 Why This Actor Beats the Competition

| Feature | Generic Browser Scrapers | Official Shopify API | **This Actor** |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Speed** | 🐌 3–5 seconds / product (Puppeteer) | ⚠️ Requires API Key + OAuth | ⚡ **Up to 250 products / second** |
| **Cost** | 💸 High compute units ($0.05+/run) | 🔒 Restricted to store owner | 💰 **$1.50 per 1,000 products** (PPR) |
| **Anti-Bot Resistance** | ❌ Blocked by Cloudflare JS challenges | N/A | ✅ **Direct JSON stream + smart headers** |
| **Setup Friction** | ⏳ Complex CSS selector setup | ⏳ Partner account & store permissions | 🚀 **Just paste the store URL and run** |
| **Variant Granularity** | ⚠️ Misses hidden variant SKUs & inventory | Requires complex GraphQL queries | ✅ **Full variant price, compare price & stock** |

### 🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Use

#### Method 1: Apify Console (No-Code GUI)

1. Paste one or more Shopify store URLs into the **Shopify Store URLs** field (e.g. `https://colourpop.com` or `https://gymshark.com`).
2. Set the **Max Products Per Store** limit (default: `50`).
3. Click **Start** and download your results in CSV, Excel, or JSON.

#### Method 2: Python SDK

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run_input = {
    "storeUrls": ["https://colourpop.com"],
    "maxProductsPerStore": 50
}

run = client.actor("litezero/shopify-product-catalog-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['title']} - ${item['minPrice']}")
```

#### Method 3: Node.js SDK

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

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('litezero/shopify-product-catalog-scraper').call({
    storeUrls: ['https://colourpop.com'],
    maxProductsPerStore: 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Extracted ${items.length} products!`);
```

#### Method 4: REST API / cURL

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/litezero~shopify-product-catalog-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"storeUrls": ["https://colourpop.com"], "maxProductsPerStore": 50}'
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://colourpop.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call litezero/shopify-product-catalog-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,litezero/shopify-product-catalog-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).
