## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Shopify Products Exporter

Export full Shopify product catalog without API key using public `/products.json` endpoint.

### Features

- 🛒 **No API Key Required** - Uses public Shopify endpoints
- 📦 **Full Product Data** - Includes variants, images, tags, and metadata
- 🔄 **Retry Logic** - Handles rate limits with exponential backoff
- 📊 **MCP Compatible** - Structured output with standard schema
- 💰 **Pay-Per-Event Ready** - Charges per product exported

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `shopDomain` | string | ✅ | - | Shopify store domain (e.g., `brand.com` or `store.myshopify.com`) |
| `maxPages` | integer | ❌ | 20 | Maximum pages to fetch (250 products per page) |
| `includeVariants` | boolean | ❌ | true | Include product variants in output |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | ❌ | - | Proxy settings for avoiding rate limits |
| `testPayPerEvent` | boolean | ❌ | false | Test mode for pay-per-event |

### Output

Each dataset item follows the MCP-friendly structure:

```json
{
  "actorId": "shopify-products-exporter",
  "input": { "shopDomain": "example.com" },
  "collectedAt": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "source": "https://example.com/products/product-handle",
  "data": {
    "product": {
      "id": 123456789,
      "title": "Product Name",
      "handle": "product-handle",
      "vendor": "Brand",
      "productType": "Category",
      "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
      "variants": [...],
      "images": [...]
    }
  }
}
````

#### SUMMARY (Key-Value Store)

```json
{
  "actorId": "shopify-products-exporter",
  "runId": "abc123",
  "stats": {
    "itemsCollected": 150,
    "pagesProcessed": 1,
    "errorsEncountered": 0
  },
  "warnings": [],
  "sampleOutputItem": {...}
}
```

### Usage

#### Local Run (Apify CLI)

```bash
apify run --input-file dev-inputs/example.json
```

#### Cloud Run (Apify CLI)

```bash
apify call technicaldost/shopify-products-exporter --input-file dev-inputs/example.json
```

#### API Call

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~shopify-products-exporter/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"shopDomain": "kyliecosmetics.com", "maxPages": 5}'
```

### Limitations

- Only works with Shopify stores that have the `/products.json` endpoint enabled (most public stores do)
- Rate limits may apply for stores with aggressive bot protection
- Some product fields may be unavailable depending on store configuration

### Disclaimer

This actor accesses publicly available data from Shopify storefronts. Users are responsible for ensuring their use complies with the target store's terms of service and applicable laws.

### Changelog

#### 1.0.0 (2025-01-27)

- Initial release
- Full product export with variants and images
- MCP-compatible output structure
- Pay-per-event readiness

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "shopDomain": "kyliecosmetics.com"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("technicaldost/shopify-products-exporter").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
