Shopify Products Scraper

Shopify Products Scraper

Scrape product catalogs from any Shopify store, collection, or product URL, up to a million items per run. Each product row includes its title, price, variants, images, and stock status. No API key or store admin access needed. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Shopify's storefront API is rate-limited and often requires store owner approval. This actor reads the public product feeds directly from any Shopify-powered store, collection page, or individual product URL. You get a complete, structured catalog in one fixed schema, ready for analysis.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the store URL is correct and the store is publicly accessible. If you are using a keyword search, try a broader term or leave it empty to see all products. Also verify that 'Include Out of Stock' is checked if the store has no available inventory.

The actor is only returning a few products from a large store.

Some Shopify stores limit the number of products shown on their public pages. Try using collection page URLs instead of the homepage to access deeper parts of the catalog. The actor respects the store's own pagination limits.

Why are product images missing?

The actor captures the image URLs as provided by the store's theme. If images are lazy-loaded or hosted on a CDN that blocks automated requests, they may not be captured. The main image and all image URLs are included when available.

The keyword search is not finding products I know exist.

The keyword search uses the store's own search endpoint. Try variations of the keyword, check for spelling, and ensure the store's search function works in a regular browser. The search only applies to store homepages, not collection or product URLs.

I am getting a timeout or the run is very slow.

Large catalogs take time. Increase the run's timeout in the actor settings. If scraping many stores, reduce the 'Maximum stores' count or split the URLs across multiple runs.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Can I scrape any Shopify store?	Yes, any store hosted on Shopify with a public storefront can be scraped. You do not need the store owner's permission or an API key.
What data do I get for each product?	Each row includes the product title, description, vendor, product type, tags, all variant details (SKU, price, compare-at price, stock status, option values), the main image URL, and all other image URLs.
How do I scrape only products that are in stock?	Uncheck the 'Include Out of Stock' option in the input. The actor will then return only products that have at least one variant with available inventory.
Can I search for a specific product across a store?	Yes, use the 'Store or product keyword' field. This searches the store's product listings and returns only matching items. It works on store homepages, not on collection or product URLs.
How do I scrape multiple stores at once?	Add multiple store URLs to the 'Shopify store URLs' input field. The actor will process them sequentially up to the 'Maximum stores' limit you set.
What is the maximum number of products I can scrape?	You can set the 'Maximum stores' input up to 1,000,000. The actual number of products depends on the store's catalog size and its pagination limits.

How do I sort the results?	Use the 'Sort By' dropdown to order the output by price, title, or date added before the data is saved to your dataset.
