Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shopify Product Scraper Scrape Shopify store products via the public `products.json` API. Fast, HTTP-only product data extraction for competitor research, price monitoring, catalog analysis, and dropshipping product discovery. No browser required — this Actor fetches structured JSON directly from Shopify storefronts and collections, making it one of the fastest ways to extract product catalogs from Shopify stores. ### Features - Scrape full store catalogs or individual collections - HTTP-only requests — no headless browser overhead - Automatic pagination (up to 250 products per page) - Variant details: SKU, price, compare-at price, availability, options - Product images, tags, vendor, and product type - Store currency detection via Shopify `cart.js` - Graceful fallback from collection to store-wide scrape on 404 - Multi-store support in a single run ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `storeUrls` | `string[]` | Yes | — | Shopify store URLs (`https://store.myshopify.com`) or collection URLs (`https://store.com/collections/sale`) | | `maxProducts` | `integer` | No | `250` | Maximum products to scrape per store URL | | `includeVariants` | `boolean` | No | `true` | Include full variant details for each product | #### Example input ```json { "storeUrls": [ "https://www.allbirds.com", "https://kyliecosmetics.com/collections/lips" ], "maxProducts": 100, "includeVariants": true } ```` ### Output Each product is saved as one dataset item: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `title` | `string` | Product title | | `handle` | `string` | URL slug / product handle | | `vendor` | `string` | Product vendor / brand | | `productType` | `string` | Shopify product type | | `tags` | `string[]` | Product tags | | `price` | `number` | Primary variant price | | `compareAtPrice` | `number` | Compare-at price (if set) | | `currency` | `string` | Store currency (e.g. USD) | | `available` | `boolean` | Whether any variant is in stock | | `variantsCount` | `number` | Number of variants | | `variants` | `object[]` | Variant details (when `includeVariants` is true) | | `images` | `string[]` | Product image URLs | | `url` | `string` | Canonical product page URL | | `scrapedAt` | `string` | ISO timestamp of extraction | ### How it works 1. Parses each input URL to detect store vs. collection endpoints 2. Resolves store currency from `/cart.js` 3. Fetches `GET /products.json?limit=250&page=N` (or collection equivalent) 4. Paginates until `maxProducts` is reached or no more products are returned 5. Normalizes product and variant fields and pushes results to the dataset ### Run locally ```bash apify run ``` Set input in `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` or pass via the Apify CLI. ### Deploy ```bash apify login apify push ``` ### Use cases - **Competitor research** — Monitor rival Shopify catalogs, pricing, and new launches - **Dropshipping** — Discover products, variants, and images from supplier stores - **Price tracking** — Track `price` and `compareAtPrice` over scheduled runs - **Catalog migration** — Export structured product data for analysis or import pipelines - **Market intelligence** — Analyze vendors, tags, and product types across niches ### Limitations - Only works on Shopify stores that expose the public `products.json` endpoint (most standard Shopify themes do) - Some stores may rate-limit or block automated requests - Currency is inferred from the store cart endpoint and may be `null` on restricted stores - Collection scraping falls back to store-wide scrape if the collection endpoint returns 404 ### Related keywords Shopify scraper, Shopify product extractor, ecommerce scraping, competitor price monitoring, dropshipping product finder, Shopify API, products.json, catalog export, Apify Actor # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrls` (type: `array`): Shopify store URLs (e.g. https://store.myshopify.com) or collection URLs (e.g. https://store.com/collections/sale). ## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per store URL. ## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`): Include full variant details (SKU, price, availability, options) for each product. ## Actor input object example ```json { "storeUrls": [ "https://www.allbirds.com" ], "maxProducts": 250, "includeVariants": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `products` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
