Vitals Reviews Scraper for Shopify stores

Free-plan sample: Apify Free accounts can collect up to 100 review rows total per run, shared across all input URLs. Upgrade your Apify plan for larger runs. Normal Actor charges apply. The sample resets each run; it is not a monthly allowance.

Export every Vitals review from any Shopify store. Paste a store URL for the complete review history or a product URL for one product, and get the rating, title, text, photos, author, date, verified-buyer flag and product for each review. Covers the product reviews module of the Vitals app bundle, customer photos included. No login, no API key, no browser. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel.

How to export Vitals reviews

1. Open the store in your browser and copy its URL (for example https://premiertablelinens.com). For a single product, copy the product page URL instead (for example https://premiertablelinens.com/products/spandex-cocktail-table-cover).
2. Paste it into Start URLs. You can add as many stores and products as you like; each one is scraped in turn.
3. Set Maximum reviews per URL. Use 0 to export the full history.
4. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and download the reviews as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

What data you get

Field	What it holds
review_id	Vitals review id
rating	Star rating, 1 to 5
review_title	Review headline, when the reviewer wrote one
body	Full review text
author	Reviewer name as shown on the store
date, date_utc	Date as Vitals reports it, and the same instant as ISO 8601 UTC
verified_buyer	true when Vitals shows the Verified Buyer badge

Vitals rows also carry the Shopify product id, review videos and the store reply.

How to tell if a store uses Vitals

Vitals stores load cdn-sf.vitals.app and define vtlsLiquidData in the page. Search the page source for vitals.app. Many stores install Vitals for other features and keep reviews in another app; the run then points you to that app. You do not have to check first: if the store runs another review app, the run says which one and links the scraper for it.

Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array, required	Store URLs (premiertablelinens.com, https://premiertablelinens.com) for every review in the store, or product URLs (https://premiertablelinens.com/products/spandex-cocktail-table-cover) for that product only.
minRating, maxRating	integer	Filter by star rating (1 to 5). For example, minRating: 1, maxRating: 2 for negative reviews.
verifiedOnly	boolean	Keep only verified buyer reviews. Default false.
mediaOnly	boolean	Keep only reviews with customer photos or videos. Default false.
reviewText	string	Search term to match within the review title or body text.
reviewDateFrom, reviewDateTo	string	Inclusive date window (YYYY-MM-DD in UTC) to extract reviews from.
maxReviews	integer	Stop after this many reviews per URL. Default 100, 0 means no limit.
maxScannedReviews	integer	Maximum source reviews inspected across all URLs in the run when filters are active. Default 10,000. The scan budget can stop collection before maxReviews is reached.

Output example

{
  "review_id": "78117359",
  "author": "lesahaggard66",
  "rating": 5,
  "review_title": null,
  "body": "Nice quality velvet and very pretty colors! I received my samples within a few days of ordering. I'll definitely be ordering more fabric.",
  "date": "2023-09-28",
  "date_utc": "2023-09-28T00:00:00Z",
  "product_name": null,
  "verified_buyer": false,
  "images": [
    "https://cdn-pri.vitals.app/phrev/43441782939/78117359-1696271565.2568.jpg"
  ],
  "platform": "vitals"
}

Next to these standard fields, every raw Vitals field is passed through unchanged, so nothing the widget shows is lost.

FAQ

Do I need a Vitals account or API key?

No. The scraper reads the same public review feed the store's Vitals widget loads for every visitor. You only need the store URL.

Can I export the reviews of one product only?

Yes. Use the product URL (https://store.com/products/handle). Store URLs return every review in the store.

Can I filter for negative reviews or verified buyers?

Yes. Use minRating: 1, maxRating: 2 to export negative reviews, or verifiedOnly: true for verified buyer feedback. Only reviews that match your filters are saved.

How many reviews can I get?

All of them. Set maxReviews to 0 and give the run enough timeout. Vitals serves 1,000 reviews per request, so even large stores export in seconds.

Why did my run return no reviews?

Usually the store uses a different review app. The status message then names the app it found and links the right scraper. If the store does run Vitals and still returns nothing, open an issue on the Issues tab with the store URL.

Can I scrape several stores in one run?

Yes. Add one URL per store or product to Start URLs. Each URL gets its own maxReviews budget.

Is it legal to scrape Vitals reviews?

The scraper only collects reviews that are publicly shown on the store. Reviews include names that customers chose to publish; handle them in line with the privacy rules that apply to you (for example GDPR).

Feedback and support

I actively maintain this scraper. Found a bug or need a field? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the store URL.

Not sure which app a store uses?

The Shopify Review Scraper (Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo, Stamped + more) detects the review app of any Shopify store automatically and returns the same output as this scraper. Use it for a list of stores with mixed review apps.
