## 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

## Shopify Store Analyzer – Apps, Contacts & Product Export

Analyze **any Shopify store** in seconds: see which **apps** it uses, its **theme**, **contact emails and social links**, **location, currency and shipping countries**, **product count and price range**, and how recently it added products.

Need the catalog too? Export **every product with all images, full description, variants, SKUs, prices and stock status**. You can also get a **Shopify-ready import CSV** in one click.

No login and no API keys. You **pay only for real Shopify stores**: non-Shopify sites are detected and returned free.

### What you can use it for

- **Lead generation for agencies & app developers**: find stores using (or missing) a specific app, e.g. Klaviyo without a reviews app, then reach out with the right offer.
- **Competitor & market research**: compare pricing, catalog size, launch cadence, themes and tech stack across a niche.
- **E-commerce & dropshipping research**: spot trending products and price points from successful stores.
- **Catalog migration & backup**: move your own store's catalog, or a supplier catalog you're authorized to resell, to a new Shopify store with the import CSV.
- **Data enrichment**: turn a list of domains into store size, location and contact data for your CRM.

### How to analyze a Shopify store

1. **Create a free Apify account** (no credit card needed to start) and open this Actor.
2. **Add stores.** Paste store domains or URLs (one per line) in **Store URLs or domains**. Any custom domain works, not only \*.myshopify.com.
3. **Choose what to collect.** Every store returns its installed apps, theme and contact details. Turn on *Export products* to also get the product catalog, and *Build Shopify import CSV* if you want a file you can re-import.
4. **Scan contact pages.** Leave *Scan contact & about pages* on to find emails, phone numbers and social links beyond the home page.
5. **Click Start.** Results appear in the **Output** tab while it runs.
6. **Download or connect.** Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read the dataset through the API, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or a webhook. The Shopify import CSV is saved as `shopify-products.csv` in the run's **Storage → Key-value store** tab.

**Tips**

- Paste many stores at once: stores are processed in parallel, so a list of hundreds is fine.
- Not a Shopify store? It comes back marked as non-Shopify and is not charged, so you can use the Actor to check a list of domains.
- Use *Max products per store* to keep big catalogs cheap.

### What you get per store

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `name`, `description`, `url`, `myshopifyDomain` | Death Wish Coffee, deathwishcoffee.myshopify.com |
| `city`, `province`, `country`, `currency`, `locale` | Round Lake, New York, US, USD, en |
| `productsCount`, `collectionsCount` | 145 products, 60 collections |
| `apps` | Installed app embeds with Shopify App Store links: Klaviyo, Rebuy, Postscript… |
| `technologies` | Pixels & tools: Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Gorgias, Smile.io… |
| `theme` | Theme name, base theme (e.g. Dawn) and version |
| `emails`, `phones`, `socials` | hey@…, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X… |
| `priceMin`, `priceMax`, `priceAvg`, `variantsOnSalePercent` | 5.00 – 119.99, avg 40.20 |
| `newestProductPublishedAt`, `lastProductUpdatedAt` | Shows if the store is active |
| `topVendors`, `topProductTypes` | Main brands and categories |
| `shipsToCountries`, `shopPayInstallments` | Where the store ships |

### What you get per product (optional)

Title, handle, URL, vendor, type, tags, **description (HTML + clean text)**, **all images** (URL, alt, size), **options and variants** (SKU, price, compare-at price, availability, weight, variant image), and published/updated dates.

#### Shopify import CSV

Turn on **Build Shopify import CSV** and the run saves `shopify-products.csv` in Shopify's official product import format, with products set to **draft**. Download it from the run's **Storage → Key-value store** tab (or the "Shopify import CSV" output link) and import it in **Shopify Admin → Products → Import**.

### Input example

```json
{
  "storeUrls": ["allbirds.com", "https://www.colourpop.com/collections/new"],
  "includeProducts": true,
  "maxProductsPerStore": 500,
  "exportShopifyCsv": true
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per result, no monthly rental:

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Shopify store analyzed | **$5.00 per 1,000 stores** |
| Product exported (only when product export is on) | **$0.50 per 1,000 products** |
| Non-Shopify URL | **Free** |

Example: analyzing 1,000 domains (600 turn out to be Shopify) costs **$3**; exporting a 2,000-product catalog costs **$1.005**. Set **"Maximum cost per run"** in the run options to stay within budget. The Actor stops cleanly at the limit.

### Use with AI (LangChain / LlamaIndex / CrewAI)

Each product has `descriptionText` (HTML stripped), so catalogs drop straight into product-matching, pricing-analysis or RAG pipelines. With LangChain (`pip install langchain-apify`):

```python
from langchain_apify import ApifyWrapper
from langchain_core.documents import Document

apify = ApifyWrapper()  # reads APIFY_API_TOKEN
loader = apify.call_actor(
    actor_id="smoldesk/shopify-store-analyzer",
    run_input={"storeUrls": ["allbirds.com"], "includeProducts": True, "maxProductsPerStore": 200},
    dataset_mapping_function=lambda p: Document(
        page_content=f"{p.get('title') or ''}\n\n{p.get('descriptionText') or ''}",
        metadata={k: p.get(k) for k in ("type", "url", "vendor", "productType")},
    ),
)
docs = [d for d in loader.load() if d.metadata["type"] == "product"]
```

Already have a run? Load its dataset with `ApifyDatasetLoader(dataset_id="<run's dataset ID>", dataset_mapping_function=...)`. **LlamaIndex**: `ApifyActor` from `llama-index-readers-apify`. **CrewAI / Claude / MCP clients**: add it as a tool via the Apify MCP server: `https://mcp.apify.com?actors=smoldesk/shopify-store-analyzer`.

### Tips

- You can paste any URL from the store. It's normalized to the domain automatically.
- Headless stores (custom storefronts) are supported when they expose Shopify's public product feed.
- For thousands of stores, enable a proxy in **Advanced** to avoid rate limits.

### Limitations

- Only **public** storefront data is collected. Password-protected stores and private data (orders, sales, customers) are not accessible.
- App detection finds apps that load on the storefront (app embeds and scripts). Back-office-only apps can't be seen.
- Some stores hide `products.json`. You'll still get the store analysis.

### FAQ

**How do I check if a website uses Shopify?** Paste any list of domains. Shopify stores get the full analysis; other sites come back marked as non-Shopify, free of charge.

**How do I find which apps a Shopify store uses?** The `apps` field lists app embeds detected on the storefront with links to the Shopify App Store, and `technologies` lists pixels and tools like Klaviyo, Meta Pixel and GTM.

**Do I need a Shopify API key or store access?** No. Only public storefront data is used.

**Is it legal?** This Actor only reads information that stores publish openly to every visitor. Product images and descriptions are usually copyrighted by the store owner: use them for research, or only republish content you own or are licensed to use. Respect privacy laws (e.g. GDPR, CAN-SPAM) when contacting stores.

        }
    }
}
```

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).
