# Estimate the cost to scrape ten beauty brand catalogues

**Use case:** 

Checks ten beauty brands on Shopify, including ColourPop, Rare Beauty, Morphe and Glow Recipe, and estimates what a full catalogue scrape of each would cost, from the products the brand lists and the variants per product. Sort by Would cost to see which catalogue is dearest to read, and budget a product scrape before you start one. It stops at $0.01.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/montyburrows/shopify-stores.md

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`).
