## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## 🛒 Shopify Product Catalog & Pricing Scraper

Extract entire product catalogs, variants, pricing, and live inventory status from **any Shopify store** in seconds. No Shopify API keys, logins, or developer access required.

***

### ⚡ What Does This Scraper Do?

This Actor turns any public Shopify storefront URL into a clean, normalized dataset formatted for **Shopify Bulk CSV Import**, competitor analysis, or market research.

#### Extracted Data Fields

- **Store & Product Info:** Store domain, product title, product ID, handle, canonical product URL, vendor/brand, product type, tags.
- **Variant & Pricing Data:** Variant title (size, color), SKU, price, compare-at price (discounts/sale), in-stock availability flag.
- **Media:** High-resolution primary image URL and all gallery image URLs.
- **Timestamps:** Created date and updated date.

***

### 💡 Top Use Cases

1. **Competitor Price Monitoring:** Track price changes, markdowns, and inventory availability across competing e-commerce brands.
2. **Catalog Migration & Dropshipping:** Export clean product files ready to re-import straight into your own Shopify or WooCommerce store.
3. **Market & Trend Research:** Analyze product tags, vendor distribution, and catalog sizes across hundreds of online retailers.

***

### 🚀 How to Use It

1. **Enter Store URL(s):** Paste any Shopify store homepage or collection URL in `startUrls` (e.g., `https://allbirds.com` or `https://gymshark.com`).
2. **Set Max Products:** Enter how many products you want (or `0` for the entire store catalog).
3. **Choose Variant Format:** Enable `includeVariants` to emit one clean row per SKU/size/color (best for Excel and CSV imports).
4. Click **Start**! Download your results in **CSV**, **JSON**, **Excel**, or sync via **API / Webhooks**.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more Shopify store URLs to scrape (e.g., https://gymshark.com, https://allbirds.com, or your competitor's store).

## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to extract per store. Set to 0 or leave empty for all products.

## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, creates a separate row for each product variant (size, color, SKU, price) suitable for Shopify CSV import. If disabled, groups variants into an array per product.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. Apify residential or datacenter proxies can be selected for high-volume extraction.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://gymshark.com"
    }
  ],
  "maxProducts": 100,

}
```

# Actor output Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://gymshark.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nice_amphipod/shopify-product-catalog-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://gymshark.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("nice_amphipod/shopify-product-catalog-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://gymshark.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call nice_amphipod/shopify-product-catalog-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nice_amphipod/shopify-product-catalog-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
