Shopify Store Scraper ⚡ Live Prices, Sales & Stock

Point this at any Shopify store and get its entire live catalog back in seconds — price, sale price, stock, variants, images, tags — read straight from the store's own product feed, so it's always current, never a stale cache. No login, no private data.

Where a plain scraper stops at raw fields, this one adds the analysis a price/catalog monitor actually needs: sale detection, out-of-stock and missing-SKU flags, variant price ranges, and a per-store price summary (avg / min / max, on-sale count, out-of-stock count).

What you get per product

Field	Meaning
priceMin / priceMax	Price range across all variants
compareAtMax	Highest "compare at" (was) price — set when on sale
onSale	true when any variant's compare-at price is above its price
inStock	true when at least one variant is available
vendor, productType	Brand / category as set in Shopify
tags, tagCount	Storefront tags
variantCount, imageCount	Catalog completeness signals
descriptionLength	Product description length (HTML stripped)
skuCoverage	Fraction of variants that have a SKU set
createdAt, updatedAt, publishedAt	Timestamps — diff between runs to catch changes
flags	Quality issues found (see below)
url	Direct link to the product page

Flags

• OUT_OF_STOCK — no variant available
• ON_SALE — compare-at price above current price
• NO_IMAGES / SINGLE_IMAGE — thin product media
• NO_DESCRIPTION — empty description
• NO_TAGS — no storefront tags
• MISSING_SKU — one or more variants have no SKU
• NO_PRICE — no parseable price on any variant

Input

{
  "storeUrls": ["https://www.allbirds.com", "taylorstitch.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false }
}

• storeUrls — bare domain, full URL, or any page on the store (only the domain is used).
• maxProductsPerStore — 0 for no limit (up to 50,000).
• proxyConfiguration — most stores need no proxy. Turn one on only if a store returns HTTP 403 or non-JSON (some sit behind Cloudflare/Akamai).

Output

One dataset row per product, plus a STORE_SUMMARY key-value record per store with productsScraped, onSaleCount, outOfStockCount, avgPrice, minPrice, maxPrice.

Use cases

• Competitor price monitoring — schedule daily, diff priceMin between runs
• Sale detection — alert when onSaleCount jumps for a competitor
• New-product alerts — watch for new handles / recent publishedAt
• Catalog QA — audit your own store for missing images, descriptions, SKUs
• Market research — pull an entire niche's pricing into a spreadsheet

FAQ

Does it need a proxy? No, for most stores. Shopify serves /products.json publicly. Only stores behind Cloudflare / Akamai need a proxy — set proxyConfiguration to { "useApifyProxy": true } if a store returns HTTP 403 or non-JSON.

How fast is it? Very. It reads a paginated JSON feed (250 products per request), no headless browser. A full 1,000-product catalog typically finishes in a few seconds.

How current is the data? It is the store's own live feed — the same data the storefront renders. There is no cache layer; every run reflects the catalog at run time.

Is this allowed? It reads only the public /products.json endpoint Shopify exposes on every store by default, i.e. public data any visitor can see. It never logs in and never touches customer, order or checkout data. Respect each store's terms and your local laws.

A store returned nothing / was skipped. The owner disabled the public product feed, or the store isn't Shopify. The run logs a warning and moves on to the next store.

Can I get only new or changed products? Run it on a schedule and diff priceMin / updatedAt / the set of handles between runs — new handles are new products, changed priceMin is a price move.

Notes

Reads only the public /products.json endpoint that Shopify exposes on every storefront by default. No login, no private data.
