FAQ

Does this work on any Shopify store? Yes — it works on any store built on Shopify that hasn't disabled the public products.json endpoint. This covers the vast majority of Shopify's 4+ million stores.

Do I need a Shopify account or API key? No. This actor uses Shopify's public product feed which requires no authentication.

How often can I scrape a store? As often as you need. Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly runs using Apify Schedules to track inventory and pricing changes over time.

Can I scrape multiple stores at once? Run multiple instances in parallel — one per store — for bulk competitor analysis.

What's the maximum number of products I can extract? Up to 1,000 products per run. Most Shopify stores have fewer than 1,000 products.

Is the data suitable for import into my e-commerce platform? Yes — output is clean JSON that can be easily transformed for import into WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon, or any platform.

Why Shopify Store Analyzer Beats SimilarWeb, Sensor Tower, Jungle Scout & BuiltWith Pro

Most DTC + ecommerce-research teams pick this actor instead of SimilarWeb's Shopify-specific module because it returns revenue + app stack + best-sellers per store in a single API call — cheaper than BuiltWith Pro for tech detection alone, and a drop-in alternative to Sensor Tower for non-mobile DTC competitive intel.
