Shopify Back-in-Stock Monitor

Get alerted the moment a sold-out Shopify product restocks. Scheduled monitor over the public products.json. No login, no proxies.

This Actor reads each store's public product feed — no login, no API key, and no proxies — and returns clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull straight from the Apify API. It works on the vast majority of stores on the platform.

Features

• 🏬 Any store, many at once — pass one or a list of store URLs and scrape them all in a single run.
• 🎯 Clean structured output — every result is a flat record (shop, title, url, minPrice, available).
• 🔔 Schedule it — runs on a schedule and returns only what changed since last time, so you get an alertable feed, not a re-dump.
• ⚡ Fast & reliable — uses the storefront's own public feed, so it's cheap to run and doesn't break on layout changes.
• 🔌 Integrates everywhere — JSON/CSV/Excel, plus the API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and 5,000+ integrations.

Who it's for

DTC & dropshipping researchers, competitor-price and MAP-monitoring tools, brand and assortment analysts, and deal/affiliate publishers.

Common use cases

• Track a set of competitor stores' catalogs, prices, and stock
• Feed a repricing engine or a deal/affiliate site
• Spot new launches, sell-outs, and markdowns early

Pricing

Pay-per-result — you're billed only for the records you actually get, with no monthly fee and no charge for empty runs. Far cheaper than a monitoring SaaS subscription.

FAQ

Do I need a login or API key? No — it reads the store's public product feed. Which stores work? Any store that exposes the standard public product endpoint (the vast majority). Can I get change alerts? Yes — schedule this Actor and it emits only the deltas each run; pipe them to a webhook, Slack, or Google Sheets. How fresh is the data? It's fetched live on every run. What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or via the API.

Notes

Please scrape responsibly and within each store's terms of service.
