Universal E-commerce Scraper — Extract Products, Prices & Images From Any Online Store

Turn any e-commerce category or product page into clean, structured data. Paste a URL, press start, and get every product with its title, price, discount, images, brand, availability, and more — ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or to stream into Make, Zapier, n8n, or Google Sheets. No code, no setup, no per-site configuration, no CSS selectors.

Whether you need a product scraper, a price monitoring API, a competitor price tracker, or a bulk catalog extractor for dropshipping, this one Actor covers virtually any shop: fashion, electronics, beauty, home, food, marketplaces, niche stores — and the big names too.

⚡ Note: this Actor requires a paid Apify plan. On the free plan a run completes immediately with an informational message instead of scraping. See Apify plans →

✨ What makes it the best universal product scraper

• Native support for Shopify & WooCommerce. On these platforms it reads the catalogue straight from the store's own data feed — the fastest, most reliable, full-catalogue path, with no page rendering needed.
• Works on any store, zero configuration. It automatically understands the page — whether it's a single product or a full category — and pulls the right fields without you mapping anything.
• Handles modern, protected sites. Built-in stealth browsing with automatic residential proxies lets it read stores that block ordinary scrapers, including infinite-scroll and lazy-loading grids. Nothing to configure — anti-blocking is managed for you.
• Follows pagination automatically. Multi-page categories, "load more" buttons, infinite scroll — it keeps going until it has everything.
• Self-healing runs. Automatic retries with backoff, hang protection on stuck pages, and browser session recovery keep long runs alive instead of failing halfway.
• Clean, normalized output. Prices parsed into real numbers, currencies detected, discounts calculated, images resolved to full URLs — consistent across every site.
• Fast and affordable. A typical category of 50 products finishes in well under two minutes.

🚀 How to scrape any e-commerce website (3 steps)

1. Paste one or more URLs — a category/listing page or a single product page. Mix and match as many as you like.
2. (Optional) Set a limit — cap the number of products, or leave it at 0 to grab the whole catalog.
3. Run it — watch the products roll in, then download your data.

That's the entire workflow.

📥 Input

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://example-shop.com/category/sneakers" }

}

Field	What it does
Start URLs	One or more URLs. Each can be a category/listing page or a single product page — it's detected automatically.

Proxies and anti-blocking are handled automatically — there's nothing to configure.

🔌 Integrations: Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets & API

Every run's dataset is available through the Apify platform, so you can plug product data straight into 6,000+ apps — no code required.

n8n — automated price monitoring

1. In n8n, add the Apify node (or an HTTP Request node) and connect your Apify API token.
2. Use Run Actor with lofomachines/universal-ecommerce-scraper and this JSON input:

   { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://competitor.com/c/sneakers" }], "maxItems": 200 }
   

3. Add a Get Dataset Items step to fetch the scraped products.
4. Pipe the items into Google Sheets, Postgres, Slack alerts ("price dropped below €50!"), or your own webhook.
5. Put the workflow on a Schedule trigger (e.g. daily at 07:00) and you have a fully automated price tracker.

Make (Integromat) — product feed to Google Sheets

1. Create a new scenario and add the Apify → Run an Actor module.
2. Select Universal E-commerce Scraper, paste your category URLs in the input.
3. Add Apify → Get Dataset Items and map the fields (title, price, discountPercent, url, image).
4. Add Google Sheets → Add a Row — every product becomes a row, images and prices included.

Zapier — new-products alert

1. Create a Zap with the Apify app, event Finished Actor Run.
2. Add Apify → Fetch Dataset Items to pull the products from that run.
3. Add a Filter (e.g. discountPercent > 30) and send matches to Email, Slack, or Airtable.

Direct API (any language)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/lofomachines~universal-ecommerce-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example-shop.com/c/dresses" }], "maxItems": 100 }'

The call runs the scraper and returns the product items as JSON in the same response — perfect for scripts, backends, and AI agents.

🚀 Examples

Scrape an entire category

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example-shop.com/c/dresses" }], "maxItems": 0 }

Scrape one product

{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example-shop.com/p/leather-bag" }], "maxItems": 0 }

Scrape several stores in one run

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://shop-a.com/category/shoes" },
    { "url": "https://shop-b.com/collections/all" },
    { "url": "https://shop-c.com/p/headphones" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 500
}

💡 Tips for best results

• Set maxItems on big catalogs to control runtime and cost.
• Point it at the most specific category you need — narrower pages run faster and stay on-topic.
• Schedule it (daily or weekly) to monitor prices and build a price-history dataset.
• Need every category URL of a store first? Run the Website URL Extractor and feed its output straight into this scraper.
