Shopify Products Scraper: prices, variants, stock, SKUs and images for many stores in one run

Scrape the public product catalogue of any Shopify store and get clean rows: title, vendor, product type, tags, price range, compare-at (was) price, currency, in-stock flag, every variant with SKU, price, compare-at price and options, image URLs and a plain-text description. Paste a list of store addresses, press Start and get all of them in one dataset. Choose one row per product (variants nested) or one flat row per variant. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the API.

Use it for price monitoring and competitor tracking, dropshipping and product research, catalogue and assortment analysis, stock and sale tracking, marketplace feeds and datasets for LLM and RAG pipelines. Works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server. It reads the same products.json catalogue every Shopify storefront serves to browsers; no login, no cookies and no proxy are needed.

Why this one

• Many stores per run. Give a list of store URLs; each store is paged 250 products at a time up to your per-store limit.
• Variant-level detail. Price, compare-at price, SKU, options and stock flag per variant, or switch to flat one-row-per-variant output for spreadsheets.
• Collection filter. Read only sale or mens-shoes by collection handle, or paste a /collections/... link.
• Only in-stock option. Keep in-stock variants and skip the rest (skipped products are not charged).
• Keeps running when a store does not cooperate. A blocked (403/429), locked (401), password-protected or non-Shopify address gets one error row with the reason; every other store continues, and a store that keeps answering 429 is stopped politely.
• No personal data. Catalogue fields only. No emails, phone numbers, customers or orders.
• Cheap and predictable. $0.001 per product; Max products per store caps every run.
• Run summary. A RUN_SUMMARY record lists products and pages per store, store errors, HTTP statuses and charged events.

Input

Field	Meaning
Store URLs	Store addresses, for example allbirds.com or https://www.gymshark.com. A /collections/<handle> link scrapes only that collection
Collection handles	Optional handles applied to every store (sale, mens-shoes)
Max products per store	Default 250, max 50,000
Output mode	product (variants nested, default) or variant (one flat row per variant)
Include image URLs / description text	Default on
Only in-stock items	Default off
Remove duplicates	Default on

Output

Product row: type: "product", store, productId, handle, title, vendor, productType, tags, createdAt, updatedAt, publishedAt, url, priceMin, priceMax, compareAtPriceMax, currency, available, variantCount, variants[{id, title, sku, price, compareAtPrice, available, option1, option2, option3}], images[], bodyText, scrapedAt.

Variant row (variant mode): the product fields plus variantId, variantTitle, sku, price, compareAtPrice, available, option1-3.

Error row: type: "error", store, error, httpStatus, collection, scrapedAt. See sample-output.json for real rows.

Notes on the data:

• Prices are numbers in the store's currency; currency comes from the store's public /meta.json and is null when it is not available.
• available is the storefront's stock flag (true/false), not an inventory count.
• bodyText is the description with HTML removed, cut at 1,000 characters.
• Some stores hide collections or their catalogue; a hidden collection returns empty and an error row says so.
• *.myshopify.com addresses of stores that use a custom domain are usually locked (HTTP 401); use the public domain.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per product ($1.00 per 1,000 products) plus a $0.00005 start event per run. In variant mode you are still charged once per product; the variant rows are included. Error rows are not charged. A run returning 250 products costs about 25 cents. See PRICING.md for the benchmark.

Public storefront data only, no customer data

The actor reads only the public storefront catalogue (/products.json, /collections/<handle>/products.json, /meta.json) that a store serves to every visitor. It returns product, price, variant, stock-flag and image fields only: no customer data, no orders, no emails or phone numbers, no login, and it does not bypass anything. Product data belongs to the stores: you are responsible for using it in line with each store's terms and applicable law.

Notes and limits

• Not an official Shopify product. Stores can switch off or protect their catalogue feed, or change it, without notice.
• Stores that sit behind a bot filter may answer 403 or 429. The actor retries with backoff, then stops that store politely and reports it.
• Stock is a yes/no flag; real inventory counts are only public on a few stores and are not returned.
