## 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

### What does Shopify Products Scraper do?

**Shopify Products Scraper** extracts **every product of any Shopify store** — or of one collection — with **prices, sale prices, variants, SKUs, stock status and real inventory counts** when the store publishes them. It reads the public product feeds every Shopify storefront serves: no login, no API key, no browser, and a 1,000-product catalog takes seconds.

### Why use it?

- 💲 **Monitor competitor prices** — track prices, discounts and new products across any number of Shopify stores.
- 📦 **Estimate competitor sales** — schedule it daily with inventory counts on; stock going down is units sold.
- 🔎 **Product research for dropshipping and e-commerce** — find what a store sells, at what price, from which vendors.
- 🧾 **Catalog migration and backups** — export a full catalog with variants, images and descriptions.
- 🤖 **Feed dashboards and alerts** — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into Google Sheets or Slack through Apify integrations.

### Features

- ✅ **Whole stores or single collections** — paste `store.com` or `store.com/collections/sale`.
- ✅ **Fast** — 250 products per request: ColourPop's 1,006 products took 6 seconds.
- ✅ **Every variant** — size, color and other options, each with SKU, price, compare-at price, weight and availability.
- ✅ **Real inventory counts** — optional per-variant stock quantity and barcode, when the store publishes them.
- ✅ **Sale detection** — `onSale` and the compare-at price, ready for discount tracking.
- ✅ **Clean data** — descriptions as plain text, dates in UTC, prices as numbers, store currency included.
- ✅ **Fair billing** — you pay per distinct product. Sites that aren't Shopify, password-protected stores and stores that refuse requests are reported in the run summary and **not charged**; a product reached twice in one run is charged once.

### How to scrape a Shopify store

1. Click **Try for free**.
2. Paste **store addresses** or **collection links**.
3. Optionally set **Max products per store** and turn on **Include inventory counts**.
4. Click **Start** and download the products as JSON, CSV or Excel. To monitor, add a [schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules).

### Input example

```json
{
    "stores": ["deathwishcoffee.com", "https://colourpop.com/collections/no-makeup-makeup"],
    "maxProductsPerStore": 0,
    "includeInventory": true
}
```

### How much does it cost?

You pay per product returned — see the pricing tab. There is no start fee. For example, a 1,000-product store is 1,000 products. Stores that could not be scraped are free.

### Limitations

- **Shopify stores only**, with the standard storefront. Stores on a custom (headless) storefront don't publish the feed and are reported as not Shopify; some serve it on their other address (with or without `www.`).
- **Up to 25,000 products per store or collection** — Shopify's own limit on the public feed. Larger catalogs are flagged in the run summary; scrape their collections separately to get the rest.
- Inventory counts appear only when the store publishes them; otherwise they are `null`.
- Only products published to the online store are visible.

### Is it legal?

This Actor only reads product data that Shopify stores publish for any visitor, without logging in, at a gentle pace. It collects no personal data. Check the terms that apply to your use of the data, and consult a lawyer if unsure. Read more in Apify's blog post on [the legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

# Actor input Schema

## `stores` (type: `array`):

Shopify store addresses (<code>deathwishcoffee.com</code>) or collection links (<code>https://colourpop.com/collections/lips</code>) to scrape only that collection.

## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many products from each store or collection. 0 means all of them.

## `includeInventory` (type: `boolean`):

Also read each product's stock quantity per variant, and its barcode, when the store publishes them. Makes one extra request per product, so large stores take longer.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "stores": [
    "deathwishcoffee.com"
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 50,
  "includeInventory": false
}
```

    "deathwishcoffee.com"
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 50

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}
```

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).
