# Export products from a Shopify store collection

**Use case:** 

Export the products of one Shopify collection to JSON, CSV or Excel. The task opens the collection page, follows links to each product and returns name, SKU, brand, images, price, currency and availability from the data the page publishes. Replace the example collection with any Shopify collection whose robots.txt allows fetching.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.muji.us/collections/backpacks"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "crawl": true,
  "maxPagesPerCrawl": 50,
  "linkPattern": "/products/[a-z0-9-]+$",
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "name": {
    "label": "Name",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "brand": {
    "label": "Brand",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "price": {
    "label": "Price",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "priceCurrency": {
    "label": "Currency",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "availability": {
    "label": "Availability",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "sku": {
    "label": "SKU",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "ratingValue": {
    "label": "Rating",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",
    "format": "link"
  }
}
```

## FAQ

### How do I export another collection?

Replace the start URL of the Shopify store product export task with a collection page. Its link pattern already matches Shopify product URLs, which end in /products/ and a product name.

### Does it return every variant?

The Shopify store product export task returns what each product page publishes. Stores that list variants in their page data give one record per variant, with the size or color in the name.

### Does it work on stores other than Shopify?

Yes, when the store publishes schema.org Product data. Change the link pattern of the Shopify store product export task to the URL shape of that store's product pages.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Product Data API & Scraper - Prices & Stock](https://apify.com/rocketyard/product-schema-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/rocketyard/product-schema-scraper.md

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`).
