Shopify Scraper - Products, Variants, Prices & Stock

Shopify scraper: products, variants, prices and stock from any Shopify store

TL;DR: Shopify Scraper exports the full product catalog of any public Shopify store (every variant's SKU, price, compare-at price and stock status, plus vendor, type, tags, images and description) as JSON, CSV or Excel. It is built for e-commerce teams, price-monitoring and product-research workflows, and AI agents that need clean Shopify product data. You pay $1.00 per 1,000 products (all variants included); sites that aren't on Shopify cost nothing.

It reads the public products.json feed that Shopify storefronts publish, so there is no browser, no login and no CAPTCHA. Paste store URLs, click Start, download the dataset.

What data you get

One dataset row per product. Variants are nested, so one row = one product = one charged result.

store, storeName	Store hostname and name	www.deathwishcoffee.com, Death Wish Coffee
productId, handle, url	Shopify product ID, URL slug, product page	10200955748407
title, vendor, productType, tags	Catalog attributes set by the merchant	Knit Happens Holiday Sweater, Roody, Apparel
priceMin, priceMax, currency	Lowest / highest variant price, ISO currency	59.99, 59.99, USD
compareAtPriceMax, onSale	Original ("compare at") price and sale flag	null, false
available, variantCount	In stock (any variant) and number of variants	true, 6
variants[]	variantId, title, sku, price, compareAtPrice, available, option1-3, grams, requiresShipping, imageUrl	{"sku":"USDWGD02","price":59.99}

options[]	Option names and values	Size: S, M, L, XL
imageUrl, images[]	Main image and all image URLs	https://cdn.shopify.com/...
description	Description as plain text (optional)	Ugly sweater. Uglier cookies...
collection	Collection handle the product came from	sale
createdAt, updatedAt, publishedAt, scrapedAt	ISO 8601 UTC timestamps	2026-11-02T14:52:06.000Z
sourceUrl	The products.json page the row came from	https://.../products.json?limit=20&page=1

Use cases

• Competitor price monitoring: schedule daily runs, compare priceMin, compareAtPriceMax and onSale with yesterday, and alert on price cuts and sales.
• Stock and sell-out tracking: watch available per variant, or totalInventory when stock counts are published.
• Product research and dropshipping: see what a store sells, which vendors it carries and how it prices them.
• Catalog migration and feeds: export a catalog (yours, or a supplier's with permission) to CSV or Google Sheets.
• Market analysis: compare assortments, price ranges and new launches (createdAt, publishedAt) across many stores.

How to scrape a Shopify store

1. Enter one or more Shopify store URLs: a domain (allbirds.com), a homepage, or a collection URL (https://store.com/collections/sale).
2. Set Max products per store (default 1,000).
3. Optional: limit to Collections, filter by Keyword, keep Only in-stock products, or turn on Include stock quantities.
4. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read the dataset through the API.

Shopify price monitoring

Create an Apify Schedule (for example daily at 06:00) with your store list. Compare each run with the previous one on productId + variants[].variantId: a lower price is a price cut, onSale: true is a sale, available: false is a sell-out. Send the changes to Slack, email or a Google Sheet with Apify integrations or a webhook.

The dataset has two views: Overview - one row per product (image, title, vendor, price range, stock, sale flag, link) and All fields - products with variants.

How much does it cost to scrape a Shopify store?

Pay per event: you pay only for products saved. Compute and proxy costs are included. The price is the same on every Apify plan.

Event	Charged when	Price
result	One product saved (all variants included)	$1.00 per 1,000 ($0.001 each)
inventory	Optional: stock counts found for one product (Include stock quantities on)	$1.00 per 1,000
apify-actor-start	Once per run (Apify's standard start fee)	$0.00005

Worked examples

• 1,000 products = 1,000 × $0.001 = $1.00 (+ $0.00005 start fee).
• A 400-product store, scraped once: $0.40. With stock quantities found for all 400: $0.80.
• Daily price monitoring of one 400-product store for 30 days: 12,000 products = $12.00 per month.
• Products removed by your filters, non-Shopify sites and stores blocked by robots.txt are not charged (only the start fee).

Set Maximum cost per run in the run options and the scraper stops cleanly at that limit.

FAQ

How do I scrape all products from a Shopify store?

Add the store's domain to Shopify store URLs and set Max products per store above the catalog size (up to 100,000). The scraper pages through products.json until the catalog ends or the limit is reached.

How do I scrape only one Shopify collection?

Paste the collection URL (https://store.com/collections/sale) or put the handle (sale) in Collections. The collection field shows where each product came from.

Can I get Shopify inventory quantities (stock levels)?

Yes, optionally. Turn on Include stock quantities: the scraper reads each product's public storefront data (/products/<handle>.js). Many stores publish a per-variant inventoryQuantity there, summed into totalInventory. Stores that hide counts return null and are not charged the inventory event. Some stores publish capped or placeholder numbers; you get what the store publishes. Without the option you still get available (in stock yes/no) per variant.

How do I know if a website is a Shopify store?

Just add it. Sites that don't serve a Shopify products.json feed are skipped with a log message and are not charged. To detect the platform of many sites at once, use our Tech Stack Detector.

Which Shopify stores are not supported?

Password-protected stores, headless storefronts that disable the products.json feed, and stores whose robots.txt disallows /products.json (skipped by default).

Why is currency sometimes null?

Currency comes from the store's public meta.json. If a store hides it, prices are still in the store's default currency.

I see HTTP 429 messages in the log. Is that a problem?

No. Shopify rate-limits fast requests; the scraper slows down and retries automatically. For very large batches, enable Apify Proxy under Advanced.

Is it legal to scrape Shopify stores?

The scraper only reads product data the store publishes publicly, does not log in, and by default respects robots.txt. You are responsible for using the data in line with each store's terms and applicable law (for example, don't republish copyrighted images or descriptions without permission).

Can an AI agent use this Shopify scraper?

Yes. Through the Apify MCP server an agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) can find it with search-actors, read its input schema and run it. See Integrations below.
