Shopify Products Scraper

Extract complete product catalogs from any Shopify-powered store — titles, prices, variants, SKUs, inventory, images, and tags. Works on 4M+ stores worldwide with zero proxy cost required.

Why this scraper?

🛍️ Universal Shopify support

Any store on the Shopify platform can be scraped — from small indie brands to large retailers. Supply one domain or a list of dozens for batch extraction.

📦 Full variant coverage

Every size, colour, and option is captured as a structured variant record — including price, compare-at price, availability flag, SKU, and position.

📊 Inventory-level data

Enable fetchDetails to retrieve per-variant inventory quantities, barcodes, and weights from product detail pages.

💸 Discount detection

The hasDiscount flag and compareAtPrice per variant make sale-monitoring workflows trivial.

🗂️ Collection-scoped runs

Restrict extraction to a specific product collection (e.g. mens-shoes, sale) for targeted monitoring without scraping an entire catalogue.

⚡ High throughput, zero proxy cost

Built on Shopify's public JSON API — no browser rendering, no proxy spend. Typical stores yield 250 products per second in list-only mode.

Examples

Extract first 100 products from a single store:

{ "domains": ["allbirds.com"], "maxProducts": 100 }

Full catalogue with inventory quantities:

{ "domains": ["allbirds.com"], "maxProducts": 0, "fetchDetails": true }

Scope to the sale collection only:

{ "domains": ["gymshark.com"], "collectionHandle": "sale", "maxProducts": 500 }

Batch run across multiple stores:

{
  "domains": ["allbirds.com", "gymshark.com", "hiut.com"],
  "maxProducts": 1000,
  "fetchDetails": false
}

In-stock products only, with price monitoring fields:

{
  "domains": ["allbirds.com"],
  "maxProducts": 0,
  "includeOutOfStock": false,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

---

Daily catalog sync (run on a schedule):

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.allbirds.com"
    }
  ],
  "maxProducts": 500
}

Schedule this input to run once a day in the Apify Scheduler to keep a synced copy of the store's catalog and catch price changes.

💰 Pricing

$1.49 per 1,000 results — you only pay for successfully extracted products. Failed stores and skipped out-of-stock items are never charged.

Results	Cost
100	~$0.15
1,000	~$1.49
10,000	~$14.90
100,000	~$149.00

Flat-rate Shopify intelligence tools typically charge $29–$99/month regardless of usage.

Use the Max products cap to control your spend exactly.

Performance

Run size	Approx. time (list-only)	Approx. time (fetchDetails)
250 products	~3s	~4 min
1,000 products	~10s	~15 min
10,000 products	~1.5 min	~2.5 hrs

Performance varies by store size, product count, and server response time.

---

Known limitations

• Stores built on Shopify Hydrogen (custom headless storefronts) do not expose /products.json. The actor detects these automatically and logs a clear message.
• Password-protected stores require credentials not supported in this actor.
• Some very large enterprise stores (>50k products) may apply rate limits — the actor handles these with automatic backoff.
• inventory_quantity requires fetchDetails: true and is significantly slower.

---

Technical details

• Zero proxy cost — Shopify's public JSON API requires no browser and no proxy on the vast majority of stores
• Automatic store detection — headless and password-protected stores are identified before crawling begins
• Efficient pagination — retrieves 250 products per API call (Shopify's maximum page size)
• Exponential backoff — automatic retry on rate limits and server errors
• Change detection — every product includes a contentHash derived from handle and last-updated timestamp

Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.
