Shopify Product Extractor

Extract products and store information from Shopify-powered e-commerce sites. This Actor extracts store metadata, product listings, prices, images, SKUs, and more from any Shopify store.

Why Use This Actor?

The existing Shopify scrapers on Apify have low ratings (1-2.4/5) despite high demand. This Actor provides:

• High reliability: Robust extraction with automatic fallback strategies
• Complete data: Store info + product details in one run
• Better accuracy: Handles SSL issues and various store configurations
• No authentication required: Works on public Shopify stores
• Wide compatibility: Supports the vast majority of Shopify stores

What This Actor Does

1. Extracts store information: Name, description, email, currency, locale, social links
2. Extracts product listings: Name, price, description, image URL, product URL, SKU, availability, variants
3. Automatically adapts: Intelligently handles different store configurations

Supported Stores

This Actor works with the vast majority of Shopify-powered e-commerce sites. It automatically adapts to different store setups and handles common edge cases automatically.

Note: A very small percentage (<1%) of stores use highly customized implementations that may require manual support to be added. If you encounter a store that doesn't work, please report it and we'll investigate.

Use Cases

• Competitor analysis: Extract product data from competitor stores
• Price monitoring: Track price changes across Shopify stores
• Market research: Identify popular products in your niche
• Dropshipping: Find suppliers and product ideas
• Lead generation: Contact store owners (via extracted email/phone)
• Inventory tracking: Monitor product availability and stock levels

Limitations

• Only works on public Shopify stores (no admin access required)
• Some stores may block automated access (use proxy if needed)
• Product count limited by maxProductsPerStore input
• Requires products to be publicly visible (no password-protected stores)
• A very small percentage of highly customized stores may not work automatically

Tips for Best Results

1. Start with the homepage — The Actor automatically discovers products
2. Use a proxy — For large-scale scraping or if a store blocks access
3. Adjust maxProductsPerStore — Balance between depth and speed
4. Navigate to collection pages — For targeted product category scraping

Example Usage

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://example.myshopify.com" }
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 100,
  "includeProducts": true
}
