Shopify Scraper - Products, Prices, Variants & Stock

Extract the product catalog of a public Shopify store from its public /products.json endpoint. No API key or login is needed and no headless browser is used. Charged per product.

Features

• Product catalog extraction — titles, prices, images, variants, SKUs, stock levels, tags, vendor, product type, and timestamps.
• Automatic pagination — reads paginated /products.json responses (250 products per page) up to maxProducts (max 10,000).
• Store analysis (optional) — reads the homepage, /meta.json and /collections.json to report the Shopify theme, about 25 common apps detected from script patterns (Klaviyo, Yotpo, Judge.me, Loox, ReCharge…), payment methods mentioned on the page (PayPal, Apple Pay, Klarna, Shop Pay…), store currency, and collection count.
• Proxy handling — uses browser-like requests and Apify Proxy. If the store rate-limits or blocks a request (HTTP 429/403), the actor retries with a new proxy session, first on datacenter and then on residential proxies.

Limitations

• Shopify stores only — the actor checks the platform before scraping and fails if the URL is not a Shopify storefront.
• Some stores disable or block /products.json (or are password-protected). Those runs end FAILED with the reason in the status message (rate-limited, forbidden, or no products returned).
• Some stores hide inventory quantities; total_inventory is then 0 and inventory_quantity is null.
• description is the product HTML truncated to 500 characters.
• Currency isn't available per product (currency is always null); enable store analysis to get the store's default currency.
• In the store analysis, products_count counts only the first page of /products.json (at most 250). App and payment detection relies on patterns in the homepage HTML, so apps that load nothing on the homepage won't appear.

Python 3.11, async httpx, Apify SDK. Retries with a new proxy session on rate limits and server errors.
