## 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 Intelligence: Leads, Apps, Catalog and Contacts

Give this Actor a list of domains and it returns one record per Shopify store: confirmation that the site runs on Shopify, product count and pricing statistics, public contact emails and phones, social profiles, and the apps and tracking tools detected on the storefront. It is built for finding and qualifying Shopify store leads. It reads only public pages (`/meta.json`, `/products.json`, the sitemap, the homepage and contact pages), with no browser and no login.

### What you get

- **Store basics:** name, `myshopifyDomain`, country, currency, language, theme, shipping countries, password-protection status.
- **Catalog:** product count, and where the store exposes it, variant count, vendors, product types, top tags, price min/max/median/average, on-sale share, in-stock share, oldest/newest product dates and products added in the last 30/90 days. `catalog.source` tells you which source was used (see Limitations).
- **Contacts:** public emails, phone numbers from `tel:` links, contact page URL.
- **Socials:** Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn.
- **Apps:** installed apps and tracking tools detected from the homepage, plus `appCount`. `hasShopifyPlus` is set only on explicit evidence.

### Who it's for

1. **Agencies prospecting Shopify merchants:** build lists of stores with a public contact email, catalog size and price range for outreach segmentation.
2. **Shopify app developers:** find stores that use a competitor's app (reviews, subscriptions, search, email) or lack one, and pitch them.
3. **B2B sales and market research teams:** compare assortment size, price points, discount share and catalog activity across a set of merchants.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `storeUrls` | string\[] | required | Domains or URLs in any form. Normalized to the origin and deduplicated. |
| `maxProductsPerStore` | integer | 250 | Products sampled for catalog stats (0 to 5000). 0 skips the catalog. |
| `includeContacts` | boolean | true | Visit the homepage plus up to 4 contact/about pages for emails, phones and socials. |
| `includeProductSample` | boolean | false | Attach up to 10 sample products. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | 10 | Stores processed in parallel (1 to 50). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy (datacenter) | Recommended on the platform; many stores refuse requests from cloud IPs without it. |

```json
{
  "storeUrls": ["colourpop.com", "www.deathwishcoffee.com", "www.beardbrand.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 250,
  "includeContacts": true,
  "includeProductSample": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}
```

In one measured run, 12 stores took about 95 seconds at default concurrency.

### Output

One dataset item per input store. `status` is one of `ok`, `not_shopify`, `unreachable`, `password_protected`, `blocked`. A failure on one store never fails the run; the record carries the status and an `error` message.

Real record from a test run (trimmed: `shipsToCountries`, `topTags` and sample products shortened):

```json
{
  "inputUrl": "allbirds.com",
  "domain": "allbirds.com",
  "storeUrl": "https://allbirds.com",
  "isShopify": true,

  "shipsToCountries": ["US"],
  "theme": { "name": "[DNAM Theme July 2026]", "id": 130450260048 },
  "catalog": {
    "source": "products_json",
    "productCount": 317,
    "productCountIsExact": true,
    "productsUpdatedLast30Days": null,
    "variantCount": 3089,
    "vendorCount": 2,
    "topVendors": ["Allbirds", "re:do"],
    "productTypes": ["Shoes", "return,package_protection"],
    "topTags": ["allbirds::complete => true", "OOS DNS", "shoprunner"],
    "priceMin": 0.8,
    "priceMax": 160,
    "priceMedian": 98,
    "priceAvg": 91.09,
    "onSaleShare": 0.48,
    "inStockShare": 0.6,
    "oldestProductAt": "2026-06-16T20:56:30.000Z",
    "newestProductAt": "2026-11-04T23:48:27.000Z",
    "productsAddedLast30Days": 31,
    "productsAddedLast90Days": 244
  },
  "contacts": {
    "emails": ["help@allbirds.com"],
    "phones": [],
    "contactPageUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com/pages/contact-us"
  },
  "socials": {
    "instagram": "https://www.instagram.com/allbirds",
    "facebook": "https://www.facebook.com/weareallbirds",
    "tiktok": "https://www.tiktok.com/@weareallbirds",
    "twitter": "https://twitter.com/allbirds",
    "youtube": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGErLCau5qNJ0Xwe6uEyTw",
    "pinterest": "http://pinterest.com/weareallbirds",
    "linkedin": null
  },
  "apps": ["Attentive", "Back in Stock", "Elevar", "Google Tag Manager", "Microsoft Clarity", "Shopify Shop App", "Triple Whale"],
  "appCount": 7,
  "hasShopifyPlus": null,
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-12T16:55:05.347Z"
}
```

`catalog.source` is `products_json` (full statistics) or `sitemap` (only `productCount`, `productCountIsExact` and `productsUpdatedLast30Days`; price and vendor fields are null or empty). `catalog` is null when neither source is available. `hasShopifyPlus` is `true` only on explicit evidence in the page and `null` otherwise.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.008 per successfully analyzed store** (event `store-analyzed`), which is $8 per 1,000 stores. Only stores with status `ok` are charged. Non-Shopify, unreachable, blocked and password-protected stores are free.

### Limitations

- **Catalog depth depends on what the store exposes.** Many stores refuse `/products.json` to cloud IPs. The Actor then falls back to the public sitemap, which gives a product count and recent-update count but no prices, vendors or tags.
- **Some stores block automated requests.** The Actor deliberately does not evade bot protection: no residential proxies, no CAPTCHA solving. Such stores are returned as `blocked` or `unreachable` and are not charged. In a platform test of 11 well-known Shopify stores, 9 returned `ok` (7 of them with product counts via sitemap), 1 was `blocked` and 1 `unreachable`. Very large brands block more often than typical small and mid-size stores.
- **Headless storefronts return less** on the domain you enter; language, socials and apps may be missing.
- Optional requests (meta.json, products.json, sitemap, contact pages) are tried once without retries; the homepage is retried up to 3 times.
- App detection is signature based on the homepage HTML, so apps that load only on other pages or after interaction are missed. Phones come from `tel:` links only.

### FAQ

**Is it legal and ethical?** The Actor reads only public pages that any visitor can open. It returns business contact data published by the store. You are responsible for using it in compliance with the rules that apply to you, such as GDPR and CAN-SPAM for outreach, and with the terms of the sites you analyze.

**How does app detection work?** The homepage HTML is matched against a list of known script, asset and markup signatures for Shopify apps and tracking tools. Only matches are reported.

**Can I run it on non-Shopify sites?** Yes. They are returned with status `not_shopify` and are not charged.

## 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).
