This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Google Shopping Scraper: Prices, Sellers & Product IDs

Type a product or brand, get back every listing Google Shopping shows for it: the product, the seller, the price, the sale price, the rating and the review count. Each row carries Google's own product ID, so you can track the same product across sellers, days and runs.

**What you get for each search:** up to 100 products, in the order Google shows them, as clean rows you can export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull with the API.

### Why use it

- **Product IDs on every row.** Compare prices for the exact same product, not products that just have similar titles.
- **Sellers and sale prices.** See who sells a product, at what price, and when it's marked down ("Was $230").
- **Fast and light.** No browser: one request per search, with a fresh IP from Apify's Google SERP proxy every time, located in the market you pick.
- **Never half-read.** If Google sends a captcha or a page that can't be read, the search is retried on a new IP. A search that still fails returns nothing instead of a short list, and you only pay for rows you get.

### How to use it

1. Enter your searches, one per line, for example `Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack`.
2. Pick the country (`us`, `gb`, `ca`, `au`, `de` and more) and how many results you want per search.
3. Click **Start**. Most searches finish in a few seconds.

Brand plus product searches give the sharpest seller and price comparisons. A brand name alone shows the brand's range.

### Output example

```json
{
  "position": 2,
  "title": "Allpa 35L Travel Pack Cotopaxi",
  "productId": "465750301496035333",
  "seller": "REI",
  "moreSellers": true,
  "price": "$230.00",
  "priceValue": 230,
  "currency": "USD",
  "originalPrice": null,
  "originalPriceValue": null,
  "condition": null,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "reviewCount": 6000,
  "query": "Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack",
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-08T16:27:58.000Z"
}
```

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| `position` | Place on the results page, from 1 |
| `title` | Product name as Google shows it |
| `productId` | Google's product ID (the listing's own ID when Google has no catalog ID for it) |
| `seller` | The seller shown on the card |
| `moreSellers` | `true` when Google lists other sellers for the same product |
| `price`, `priceValue`, `currency` | The current price as shown, as a number, and its currency |
| `originalPrice`, `originalPriceValue` | The "Was" or "Usually" price when the product is on sale |
| `condition` | `used` or `refurbished` when Google marks the listing that way, otherwise empty |
| `rating`, `reviewCount` | Star rating and number of reviews (Google rounds large counts, for example 2.1K becomes 2100) |
| `query`, `country`, `language`, `scrapedAt` | The search and when it ran |

### Pricing

You pay per product row returned. Searches that fail or find nothing cost nothing.

| Apify plan | Price per 1,000 results |
|---|---|
| Free and Bronze | $2.50 |
| Silver | $2.00 |
| Gold and up | $1.75 |

Set a maximum cost per run in Apify, and the scraper stops when it's reached.

### Use cases

- **Price monitoring:** track your products' prices across every seller, daily.
- **Reseller and price-policy checks:** find sellers listing your products below your set price, or unauthorized sellers.
- **Competitor research:** see how competitors price, discount and rank in Google Shopping.
- **Market and catalog research:** which products and sellers show up for a category search.

### Good to know

- One results page per search (about 40 to 60 products). For more coverage, run more specific searches.
- Organic Shopping results only. Paid Shopping ads are a different product.
- Google rounds large review counts on the page (2.1K), and the scraper reports them as 2100.
- This scraper collects publicly available information. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following the laws and terms that apply to you.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "cotopaxi backpack"
  ]

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
