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.

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.

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.
