## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopify Store Products and Prices from Store URLs

**Shopify store scraper, Shopify products scraper, Shopify price monitor:**
paste one or more Shopify store addresses and get every published product
variant as one row — price, compare-at price, stock, sale flag, tags,
image, and a changed-since-last-run flag — read live from the store's own
public catalogue feed.

### Introduction

Every Shopify store publishes its full product catalogue at two public JSON
addresses any signed-out visitor's browser can read: `/meta.json` (store
name, currency, country) and `/products.json` (every product and variant).
This Actor reads those feeds live on every run, paging through
`/products.json` at 250 products per request, one request per second.
Nothing is stored between runs and nothing is invented if a store blocks
the request or turns out not to be running Shopify.

### Tutorial

1. Set **Store addresses** to one or more store URLs or bare domains, e.g.
   `https://www.allbirds.com` or `allbirds.com`.
2. Optionally set **Maximum products per store** to cap how much of each
   store's catalogue this run reads. Default 250 (one page).
3. Set **Maximum rows** to your spend cap. Every row bills, so this is also
   the most a single run can cost.
4. Optionally paste **Previous run's variant keys** (the
   `variant_id:price:available` string from each row of an earlier run) to
   get an `isNewOrChanged` flag this run, so a daily schedule shows only
   price and stock moves.
5. Click **Start**. Results land in the dataset.

### Pricing

**$0.002 per row. No start fee.**

A run across two stores that returns 400 product-variant rows costs $0.80.
A store that is blocked or turns out not to be Shopify still returns one
row (an error row, so the run can be diagnosed), billed the same $0.002.

**Maximum rows** is the spend cap: the run cannot cost more than that
number multiplied by $0.002, whatever the stores hold.

### Input and output examples

Input:

```json
{
  "storeUrls": ["https://www.allbirds.com", "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com"],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 3,
  "maxItems": 1000
}
```

Output (one row, from a live run on 2026-09-21):

```json
{
  "store": "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com",
  "store_name": "Death Wish Coffee",
  "currency": "USD",
  "product_id": 7237656248375,
  "variant_id": 41524646871095,
  "product_title": "Death Grip Bottle Opener",
  "variant_title": "Default Title",
  "vendor": "BAMKO",
  "product_type": "Accessories",
  "tags": ["Accessories", "Gifting", "Merch"],
  "price": "8.00",
  "compare_at_price": null,
  "on_sale": false,
  "available": true,
  "sku": "UWMDWC25",
  "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0271/7209/files/DeathWishCoffee_March2025_Product_BottleOpener_Front2_Web.jpg?v=1741809353",
  "product_url": "https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/products/death-grip-bottle-opener",
  "created_at": "2025-03-06T09:27:55-05:00",
  "updated_at": "2026-09-21T13:22:04-04:00",
  "published_at": "2026-09-16T15:20:29-04:00",
  "is_new_or_changed": null,
  "fetched_at": "2026-09-21T17:22:13Z",
  "error": null
}
```

Every field in a row:

| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
| `store` | The store address this row came from, normalised to `https://host` |
| `store_name` | Store's display name from `/meta.json`, or `null` if that feed was blocked |
| `currency` | Store's currency code from `/meta.json`, or `null` |
| `product_id` / `variant_id` | Shopify's own numeric ids |
| `product_title` / `variant_title` | As published; `variant_title` is `"Default Title"` for a single-variant product |
| `vendor` / `product_type` | As published |
| `tags` | List of tags as published |
| `price` / `compare_at_price` | As published, as strings (e.g. `"8.00"`); `compare_at_price` is `null` when the store did not set one |
| `on_sale` | `true` when `compare_at_price` is set and higher than `price` |
| `available` | Shopify's own in-stock flag for this variant |
| `sku` | As published, or `null` |
| `image_url` | The variant's own image if the store set one, else the product image tagged for this variant, else the product's first image, else `null` |
| `product_url` | `{store}/products/{handle}` |
| `created_at` / `updated_at` | The variant's own timestamps |
| `published_at` | The product's publish timestamp |
| `is_new_or_changed` | `true` when this row's `variant_id:price:available` was not in **Previous run's variant keys**, `false` when it was, `null` when that input was left empty |
| `fetched_at` | When this run read the store, in UTC |
| `error` | `null` on a real product row; on a blocked or non-Shopify store, this holds the reason and every other field above is `null` |

### Recommendations

Run daily with **Previous run's variant keys** set to last run's
`variant_id:price:available` values (export them from the dataset), then
filter this run's rows to `isNewOrChanged: true` to see only what actually
moved.

### Limitations

**One error row per blocked or non-Shopify store, never guessed rows.** A
store that answers `401`/`403`/`404`/`429` on `/products.json`, that is not
running Shopify, or whose own `robots.txt` disallows the feed, produces
exactly one row with the reason in `error` and every catalogue field `null`.

**`/meta.json` is optional.** Some stores block or omit it while still
serving `/products.json`; when that happens `store_name`, `currency`, and
`country` are `null` on every row from that store, and the run still
proceeds.

**Robots.txt is honoured per store, live, every run.** If a store's own
`robots.txt` disallows `/meta.json` or `/products.json` for
`User-agent: *`, this tool does not request either path from that store.

**Row grain is the product variant.** A product with five size options
produces five rows that repeat the product-level fields with a different
`variant_id`, `price`, and `available` on each.

**No customer or personal data.** This tool never reads `/admin`, `/cart`,
`/checkout`, `/account`, or any customer page, and never outputs an email,
phone number, or home address.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?**
Each store's own public `/meta.json` and `/products.json`, the same feeds
Shopify serves to a signed-out browser. Read live on every run, never from
a stored copy.

**Does it need a login or an API key?**
No.

**Why did I get fewer rows than Maximum rows?**
Either the stores held that many products and no more, or the run hit
**Maximum rows** or **Maximum products per store** first.

**What happens if a store blocks the request?**
That store produces one error row naming the reason, and the run moves on
to the next store. Nothing is invented to fill the gap.

**Is there support?**
Yes. Raise it through the Apify Store issues tab for this actor, or email
operations@ustechautomations.com. Replies within 2 business days.

### Refunds and support

Refunds: if a run returns only error rows for a valid input (every store
you listed was blocked or is not Shopify), email
operations@ustechautomations.com within 7 days and we refund that run.
Support: same address, replies within 2 business days.

# Actor input Schema

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

One or more Shopify store addresses, e.g. https://www.allbirds.com or allbirds.com. Only the store's own public /meta.json and /products.json feeds are read -- never /admin, /cart, /checkout, or a customer page.

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

Hard ceiling on how many products this run reads from each store's catalogue, paging /products.json at 250 products per page, one request per second, until this ceiling or an empty page is reached.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard ceiling on rows returned across all stores, and therefore on the cost of the run. Every row bills at the listed price from row one; there is no start fee. A blocked or non-Shopify store produces one error row.

## `previousIds` (type: `array`):

Optional. Paste the 'variant\_id:price:available' strings from the last run's rows. Every row this run returns gets isNewOrChanged: true when its own key is not in this list, so a daily schedule can show only price and stock moves. Leave empty to skip the comparison (isNewOrChanged will be null).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify proxy. Leave off for a local run. Every request is an ordinary HTTPS GET to a store's own public JSON feed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://www.allbirds.com"
  ],
  "maxProductsPerStore": 250,
  "maxItems": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,usta/shopify-store-products"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
