## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. 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.

## 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 Store Scraper

> Scrape products from any Shopify store: title, vendor, tags, images, prices, compare-at prices, and full variant data.

### What you get

Structured product data for **any public Shopify storefront** — no login, no API key, no merchant permission needed. Pass one or more store URLs (homepages, `myshopify.com` subdomains, or specific collection URLs) and get back every product with variants, images, prices, tags, and inventory status. Ideal for competitive intelligence, price monitoring, DTC market research, and product-catalog mirroring.

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `store_domain` | Store domain (e.g., `allbirds.com`) |
| `store_url` | Original store URL provided |
| `url` | Product page URL |
| `product_id` | Shopify product ID |
| `handle` | URL handle / slug |
| `title` | Product title |
| `vendor` | Brand / vendor name |
| `product_type` | Category (e.g., "Shoes", "Apparel") |
| `tags` | Array of tags applied by the merchant |
| `description` | Product description |
| `image` | Main product image URL |
| `images` | All product image URLs |
| `options` | Variant options (Size, Color, etc.) |
| `min_price` | Lowest variant price |
| `max_price` | Highest variant price |
| `min_compare_at_price` | Lowest compare-at (pre-discount) price |
| `max_compare_at_price` | Highest compare-at price |
| `on_sale` | True if any variant is discounted |
| `variants` | Array of `{id, title, sku, price, compare_at_price, available, option1/2/3}` |
| `variant_count` | Number of variants |
| `available` | True if any variant is in stock |
| `created_at` | Product creation date |
| `updated_at` | Last update date |
| `published_at` | Publish date to storefront |

### Example output

```json
{
    "store_domain": "allbirds.com",
    "store_url": "https://www.allbirds.com",
    "url": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/mens-wool-runners",
    "product_id": 4029431775334,

    "variants": [
        {"id": 39274, "title": "10 / Natural Grey", "sku": "WR-NG-10", "price": 110.0, "available": true}
    ],

    "updated_at": "2026-04-10T08:32:11Z",
    "published_at": "2021-05-12T10:05:00Z"
}
````

### Input parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `storeUrls` | Yes | List of Shopify store URLs. Accepts homepages, myshopify subdomains, or collection URLs. |
| `maxProductsPerStore` | No | Maximum products per store. Default `25`. Raise for full-catalog pulls. |
| `includeVariants` | No | Include full variant list per product. Default `true`. Disable for smaller output. |
| `useProxy` | No | Route through Apify's proxy. Default `false`. Enable only if a store returns errors. |

### Use cases

- **DTC brands & marketers**: Track competitor launches, prices, and sale events across a list of Shopify rivals.
- **Price monitoring tools**: Mirror pricing & availability across target stores for alert systems.
- **Dropshippers & affiliates**: Pull catalogs into a mirror database with variant-level inventory.
- **Investors & analysts**: Measure catalog size, price bands, and sale cadence across a portfolio of DTC brands.

### Limitations

- Works on **public Shopify storefronts only**. Private stores, password-locked stores, and stores that disable public catalog access are not supported (the store is skipped and no charge applies).
- Currency is not published in the product feed. Prices are floats in the store's default currency — handle conversions downstream.
- Individual product reviews are NOT included. Use the [Shopify Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/shopify-reviews-scraper) for aggregate review data.

### Compared to alternatives

- **vs. other Apify Store Shopify scrapers** (typically $0.005-$0.01 per product): this actor is 5-10x cheaper at $0.001/product with the same fields.
- **vs. manual CSV exports**: requires being the store owner or a partner. This actor works on any public Shopify storefront without permissions.

Pairs well with the [Shopify Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/shopify-reviews-scraper) for review counts and ratings.

### FAQ

**Do I need to own the store?**
No. Any publicly visible Shopify storefront works.

**What about custom domains?**
Fully supported. Pass the brand's primary domain (e.g., `allbirds.com` or `gymshark.com`).

**Can I pull a specific collection only?**
Yes. Pass the collection URL (e.g., `https://shop.gymshark.com/collections/mens-new-releases`) and only products in that collection are scraped.

**Will this work on Shopify Plus stores?**
Yes.

# Actor input Schema

## `storeUrls` (type: `array`):

List of Shopify store URLs to scrape. Accepts the homepage (e.g. 'https://www.allbirds.com'), a myshopify.com subdomain, or a specific collection URL (e.g. 'https://store.com/collections/new-arrivals').

## `collectionHandles` (type: `array`):

Optional list of Shopify collection handles (e.g. 'mens-shoes', 'sale', 'new-arrivals'). When provided, each store URL is scraped once per handle via /collections/{handle}/products.json. Collections are Shopify's per-store category equivalent -- there is no global taxonomy across stores. Leave empty to scrape the store's full catalog from /products.json.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Sort order for collection results. Note: Shopify's root /products.json (no collection) DOES NOT support sort\_by -- sorting only applies to collection URLs. For root /products.json, this field is ignored and Shopify's natural pagination order is used.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional minimum price filter. Applied as a POST-filter in code (Shopify's /products.json does not accept price params). A product is kept if any of its variants has a price >= minPrice.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Optional maximum price filter. Applied as a POST-filter in code. A product is kept if any of its variants has a price <= maxPrice.

## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of products to fetch per store. Start small for a test run; raise for full catalog pulls.

## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`):

If true, include the full list of variants (size/color/SKU/price/availability) on each product. If false, only the price range is kept (smaller output).

## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests through Apify's proxy. Most Shopify stores work without it; enable this only if a specific store returns errors.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://www.allbirds.com"
  ],
  "collectionHandles": [],
  "sortBy": "relevance",
  "maxProductsPerStore": 25,
  "includeVariants": true,
  "useProxy": false
}
