## 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.

# README

## Shopify Storefront Product Scraper (products.json)

**Shopify Storefront Product Scraper (products.json)** — a fast, reliable shopify scraper that needs **no API key**. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free.

This shopify scraper runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com), so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

### What this scraper does

- Extracts structured **shopify** data with no browser or API key required
- Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps
- Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing
- Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks

### What data you get

Each result record includes fields such as:

### Use cases

- Monitor competitor prices and catalogs
- Power a price-comparison or deal site
- Research products for dropshipping or sourcing
- Sync product data into your store or sheet

### Run it as a monitor (alerts on new shopify)

Schedule this shopify scraper to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule — with the built-in [Apify Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), and have results pushed to you by **webhook, email, Slack, or your own app** the moment they're ready. It's the easiest way to **monitor shopify for changes over time** and get alerted the instant something new appears — no manual runs. Because pricing is per result, a scheduled monitor only ever charges you for the data each run actually returns.

### Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing at **$0.0004 per record**. There is no monthly fee and no start fee — and **empty or failed runs cost $0**, so you only ever pay for data you actually receive.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an API key or account for the source?** No. This shopify scraper works out of the box with no API key required.

**What happens if a run returns no results?** You are not charged. Billing is per result, so empty or failed runs are free.

**Can I run the shopify scraper on a schedule?** Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to run it hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule, and get results by webhook or API.

**What export formats are supported?** Results can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or pushed to Google Sheets, a database, or your own app via the Apify API.

**Is the data structured?** Yes. Every shopify result is a clean, flat JSON record you can use immediately.

### Why choose this Shopify store scraper

- **No API key, no proxy setup** — it works out of the box; you never manage keys or residential proxies.
- **Pay only for results** — pay-per-result pricing, no monthly subscription, and failed or empty runs are always free.

# Actor input Schema

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

Shopify store URLs to scrape. Accepts a bare domain (allbirds.com), full https URL (https://www.allbirds.com/collections/mens), or myshopify handle (shop.myshopify.com). Normalized to a bare host; scheme/path/port/trailing slash stripped.

## `collections` (type: `array`):

Optional collection handles (e.g. mens, womens). If provided, each store is scraped per-collection via /collections/{handle}/products.json instead of the full /products.json catalog. Applied to every store.

## `maxProducts` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of product records to emit per task (per store, or per collection). Paginates ?page= in batches of 250 until this cap or an empty page. Default 250, hard cap 10000.

## `maxCostUsd` (type: `integer`):

HARD budget cap. The run stops cleanly before exceeding this.

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

This is an open API; no proxy needed. Default is fine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxProducts": 250,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
