## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Extract complete product catalogs, collections, single products, variant matrices, pricing, stock levels, options, barcodes, and high-resolution images from **any public Shopify e-commerce store** worldwide.

  - **Search Queries**: Search across any store using predictive keywords.
- **📊 Nested or Flattened Output**:
  - **Nested Format**: 1 record per product with complete `variants` array and image galleries.
  - **Flattened Format (`flattenVariants`)**: 1 record per SKU/variant with parent product data attached (ideal for Excel / Google Sheets / SQL databases).
- **🔍 Precision Filters**:
  - Filter by minimum/maximum price.
  - In-stock only filter (`inStockOnly`).
  - Plain text and raw HTML descriptions.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://colourpop.com/collections/eyes"
    }
  ],
  "domains": [],
  "searchQueries": [],
  "collections": []
}' |
apify call wyle/shopify-product-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,wyle/shopify-product-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
