You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Store Intelligence Scraper > Audit any public Shopify store and extract product, price, variant, collection, and catalog summary data over pure HTTP. No Shopify API key, login, browser, or merchant access required. ### What this actor does Shopify Store Intelligence turns a list of Shopify domains or URLs into structured competitive intelligence: - Store-level audit summary with store name, description, currency, theme, product/variant/collection counts, vendors, product types, price range, sale rate, and availability. - Public contact emails, phone links, social profiles, and common marketing technologies found on the storefront. - Product-level results from Shopify's public `/products.json` endpoint. - Variant, SKU, price, compare-at price, inventory availability, image, tag, and publish/update metadata. - Optional public collection discovery from `/collections.json`. It is built for DTC analysts, ecommerce operators, lead generation teams, agencies, investors, and price-monitoring workflows that need fast Shopify catalog visibility without running a browser. ### Why use it - **Pure HTTP by default:** Lower cost and faster runs than Playwright-based storefront crawlers. - **Works with custom domains:** Use `brand.com`, `www.brand.com`, `brand.myshopify.com`, collection URLs, or product URLs. - **Store audit + product feed:** Get one high-level audit row per store plus one row per product. - **No credentials:** Uses only public storefront JSON endpoints. - **Apify-ready output:** Dataset rows are structured for exports, integrations, and API consumption. ### Input | Field | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | `storeUrls` | No | Shopify store homepages, product URLs, collection URLs, or myshopify.com URLs. | | `storeDomains` | No | Plain domains such as `allbirds.com` or `gymshark.com`. Combined with `storeUrls`. | | `maxProductsPerStore` | No | Maximum products to extract per store. Default `100`. | | `includeCollections` | No | Fetch `/collections.json` where available. Default `true`. | | `requestDelaySecs` | No | Polite delay between product pages. Default `0.5`. | | `proxyConfiguration` | No | Residential proxy is enabled by default for stores that throttle cloud IPs. Disable it when direct requests work to minimize cost. | Provide at least one value in `storeUrls` or `storeDomains`. ### Example input ```json { "storeDomains": ["allbirds.com", "gymshark.com"], "maxProductsPerStore": 100, "includeCollections": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` ### Output types The dataset contains two result types. #### Store audit result One `store_audit` row is emitted per input store. ```json { "result_type": "store_audit", "store_domain": "allbirds.com", "store_url": "https://www.allbirds.com", "status": "shopify_detected", "products_found": 100, "collections_found": 24, "vendors": ["Allbirds"], "product_types": ["Accessories", "Shoes"], "price_min": 12.0, "price_max": 160.0, "available_products": 87, "products_on_sale": 14, "variants_found": 1260, "currency": "USD", "theme_name": "Allbirds", "contact_emails": ["help@example.com"], "social_links": ["https://instagram.com/example"], "technologies": ["Google Analytics", "Klaviyo", "Meta Pixel"], "sampled_at": "2026-06-03T10:00:00+00:00" } ``` #### Product result One `product_result` row is emitted per extracted Shopify product. ```json { "result_type": "product_result", "store_domain": "allbirds.com", "store_url": "https://www.allbirds.com", "url": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/mens-wool-runners", "product_id": 4029431775334, "handle": "mens-wool-runners", "title": "Men's Wool Runners", "vendor": "Allbirds", "product_type": "Shoes", "tags": ["mens", "wool"], "min_price": 110.0, "max_price": 110.0, "on_sale": false, "available": true, "variant_count": 24, "variants": [ {"id": 123, "title": "10 / Natural Grey", "sku": "WR-NG-10", "price": "110.00", "available": true} ] } ``` ### Pricing event concept This actor is designed around two Pay-Per-Event events: | Event | Charged when | Why | |-------|--------------|-----| | `store_audit` | A Shopify storefront is positively detected and an audit is produced. | Invalid, unreachable, and non-Shopify inputs are not charged. | | `product_result` | A product row is extracted from `/products.json`. | Product-level catalog intelligence scales with result volume. | ### Use cases - Competitive product catalog monitoring - Shopify brand discovery and enrichment - Price and sale tracking - DTC lead qualification - Investor and market mapping workflows - Ecommerce agency audits - Collection/category research ### Limitations - Only public Shopify storefront data is extracted. - Some stores disable or restrict `/products.json`; those stores may return `no_public_products_found`. - Protected storefronts can require the residential proxy option; proxy traffic adds to run cost, so disable it for stores that allow direct cloud requests. - Inventory quantities are not exposed by Shopify's public product JSON; availability is boolean at variant level. - This actor does not call private Shopify Admin APIs and does not bypass store protections. ### FAQ **Do I need a Shopify API key?** No. The actor uses public storefront JSON endpoints. **Does this work on custom domains?** Yes. Provide either custom domains or `myshopify.com` domains. **Does it scrape collections?** Yes, when `includeCollections` is enabled and the store exposes `/collections.json`. **Is this browser-based?** No. It is a pure HTTP actor designed for low cost and speed.
