Shopify Store Intelligence — Catalog + Pricing Snapshot

Pull the full public catalog of any Shopify-powered storefront — all products, variants, prices, SKUs, vendor portfolio, and stock signals — in one run. No login, no HTML scraping, no headless browser. Just the open /products.json endpoint that Shopify exposes for every store by design.

What you get

One row per product (default) — or one row per variant (SKU) if you'd rather join in a spreadsheet. Every row carries:

• Identifiers: productId, handle, url, storeDomain
• Catalog metadata: title, vendor, productType, tags, imageCount
• Pricing signal: minPrice, maxPrice, anyOnSale, per-variant price + compareAtPrice
• Stock signal: variantsInStock / variantsTotal, per-variant available
• Timestamps: publishedAt, createdAt, updatedAt

Plus a per-store summary in OUTPUT with vendor distribution (top 10), product types breakdown, products on sale / in stock, and an optional /collections.json snapshot.

Why this matters

Shopify powers >4 million live stores. Each one of them silently publishes its full product catalog at /products.json, paginated 250 at a time. Most growth teams don't know this — and the ones that do are stitching together one-off scripts. This actor turns that into a single, reliable, paginated, billable data source.

Built for:

• Competitive intelligence — track a competitor's catalog every week: what's new, what dropped, what went on sale.
• DTC / dropshipping research — discover niches by surveying which vendors are inside which collections across a list of stores.
• Pricing surveillance — compare your prices vs. a curated panel of peers.
• M&A / investor due diligence — snapshot a target's full SKU count, vendor mix, and pricing distribution from a single run.

Input

Field	Required	Default	Description
stores	yes	—	List of domains or URLs. "gymshark.com", "https://allbirds.com", "shop.example.com" — all valid.
maxProductsPerStore	no	5000	Hard cap per store. Shopify itself enforces a page index ceiling of ~150 (true max ≈ 37 500 products / store).
includeCollections	no	true	Also pull /collections.json into the per-store summary.
rowMode	no	per_product	per_product (one row, all variants nested) or per_variant (one row per SKU).
includeBodyHtml	no	false	Include the long-form HTML product description. Skip unless you need it — adds 2–10 KB / row.
detectStack	no	false	Fetch the store's homepage and detect installed apps + tech stack. Adds installedApps and techStack to the per-store summary. One extra HTTP request per store, no billing impact.

Output

Dataset — one row per product (or per variant). Key-value store — OUTPUT with per-store summaries and the billing ledger summary; BILLING_LOG with the full audit trail of every charge call.

Pricing

PAY_PER_EVENT, $0.001 per product extracted (product_extracted). A 5 000-SKU store costs ~$5. The per_variant mode is free of extra charge — billing is per product, not per variant.

v0.2 — what's new

Stack detection. Set detectStack: true to fetch the store's homepage once and surface the installed apps + tech stack in the per-store summary:

"installedApps": ["klaviyo", "recharge", "loox", "gorgias", "meta_pixel"],
"techStack": {
  "checkout":      ["shopify"],
  "subscriptions": ["recharge"],
  "reviews":       ["loox"],
  "email":         ["klaviyo"],
  "chat":          ["gorgias"],
  "pixels":        ["meta_pixel", "tiktok_pixel"],
  "analytics":     ["ga4"]
}

Tells covered: Recharge / Ordergroove / Appstle / Loop (subscriptions); Loox / Judge.me / Yotpo / Stamped / Okendo / Reviews.io (reviews); Klaviyo / Privy / Justuno / Omnisend / Mailchimp (email); Gorgias / Intercom / Tidio / Crisp / Zendesk / Drift (chat); Smile.io / Refersion (loyalty); GA4 / Northbeam / TripleWhale (analytics); Meta / TikTok / Pinterest (pixels); Shogun / PageFly / GemPages (page builders); Rebuy (upsell).

Adds one extra GET request per store. No billing impact — billing still charges per product_extracted.

Notes & limits

• Non-Shopify URLs are skipped, not failed. If a domain doesn't serve /products.json, the store appears in OUTPUT with a skipped reason (404, non-JSON, network) and no rows or charges are emitted.
• Shopify hard limit. The public storefront API caps the page parameter around 150 — a true ceiling of ~37 500 products. The actor stops cleanly when it hits that.
• No personal data. This endpoint is public catalog data designed to be served to anyone who lands on the store. No customer info, no order info, no inventory counts beyond available: true/false.
• Polite by default. Uses a normal browser User-Agent and follows redirects; no Apify Proxy needed because the endpoint is openly served.

Source

Each Shopify storefront exposes:

• GET /products.json?limit=250&page=N — paginated product feed.
• GET /collections.json?limit=250 — collection metadata.

These are public endpoints, served the same way to scrapers, plugins, and your browser's view-source.
