Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shopify Store Scraper Scrape Shopify store products and collections using the official Shopify JSON API. No headless browser required - extremely fast and reliable. ### Features - **Official JSON API**: Uses Shopify's built-in `/products.json` and `/collections.json` endpoints - **No Browser Required**: Pure HTTP requests - fast and resource-efficient - **Comprehensive Data**: Products, variants, images, pricing, inventory, collections - **Multi-Store Support**: Scrape multiple Shopify stores in one run - **Automatic Pagination**: Handles large product catalogs - **Rate Limiting**: Built-in delays to respect Shopify's limits - **Error Handling**: Detects password-protected stores, invalid URLs, rate limits ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `storeUrls` | array | - | List of Shopify store URLs | | `storeUrl` | string | - | Single Shopify store URL | | `collectionsOnly` | boolean | false | Only scrape collection data | | `includeVariants` | boolean | true | Include all product variants | | `includeImages` | boolean | true | Include all product images | | `maxProductsPerStore` | number | 1000 | Max products per store | | `maxResults` | number | 5000 | Total max results | ### Example Input ```json { "storeUrls": [ "https://www.allbirds.com", "https://shop.gymshark.com" ], "includeVariants": true, "includeImages": true, "maxProductsPerStore": 500 } ```` ### Output Schema #### Product Record ```json { "productId": 123456789, "title": "Merino Wool Runner", "handle": "merino-wool-runner", "description": "The world's most comfortable shoe...", "vendor": "Allbirds", "productType": "Shoes", "tags": ["Sustainable", "Merino Wool"], "createdAt": "2023-01-15T10:00:00Z", "updatedAt": "2024-02-13T15:30:00Z", "publishedAt": "2023-01-20T09:00:00Z", "productUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/merino-wool-runner", "storeUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com", "storeName": "Allbirds", "price": 98.00, "currency": "USD", "compareAtPrice": 120.00, "available": true, "imageUrl": "https://cdn.shopify.com/...", "variantCount": 12, "variants": [ { "variantId": 987654321, "variantTitle": "Black / US 10", "price": 98.00, "compareAtPrice": 120.00, "currency": "USD", "sku": "WR-BLK-10", "available": true, "weight": 450, "weightUnit": "g", "inventoryQuantity": 25 } ], "images": [ "https://cdn.shopify.com/image1.jpg", "https://cdn.shopify.com/image2.jpg" ] } ``` #### Collection Record (when `collectionsOnly: true`) ```json { "collectionId": 123456789, "handle": "mens-shoes", "title": "Men's Shoes", "description": "Comfortable shoes for men", "updatedAt": "2024-02-13T15:30:00Z", "publishedAt": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z", "sortOrder": "best-selling", "collectionUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com/collections/mens-shoes", "storeUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com", "storeName": "Allbirds" } ``` ### Shopify JSON API Endpoints Used - `{store_url}/meta.json` - Store metadata - `{store_url}/products.json?limit=250&page={n}` - Paginated products - `{store_url}/collections.json` - All collections ### Error Handling | Status Code | Meaning | Behavior | |-------------|---------|----------| | 404 | Not a Shopify store | Skip and log error | | 401/403 | Password protected | Skip and log warning | | 429/430 | Rate limited | Retry with exponential backoff | ### Rate Limiting - 1-2 seconds delay between requests per store - Automatic retry on rate limit errors - Respects Shopify's generous API limits ### Use Cases - **Competitor Analysis**: Monitor competitor pricing and inventory - **Market Research**: Analyze product trends across multiple stores - **Price Monitoring**: Track price changes and sales - **Product Discovery**: Find new products and collections - **Inventory Tracking**: Monitor stock levels - **Data Integration**: Feed product data into your systems ### Example Stores to Test - https://www.allbirds.com - https://shop.gymshark.com - https://www.fashionnova.com - https://www.mvmtwatches.com - https://www.colourpop.com ### Notes - All Shopify stores have these JSON endpoints enabled by default - No authentication required for public stores - Password-protected stores will return 401/403 - Currency detection is basic (defaults to USD) - Shopify doesn't expose currency in products.json - Some stores may have custom rate limits ### Performance - Scrapes ~250 products per request (Shopify's max) - Typical store (1000 products): 2-3 minutes - No browser overhead = minimal memory usage - Highly reliable (uses official API) ### License MIT # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrls` (type: `array`): List of Shopify store URLs to scrape (e.g., https://store.example.com, https://another-store.myshopify.com) ## `storeUrl` (type: `string`): Single Shopify store URL to scrape ## `collectionsOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only scrape collection data, not individual products ## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`): Include all product variants in the output ## `includeImages` (type: `boolean`): Include all product images ## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to scrape per store ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum total results across all stores ## Actor input object example ```json { "storeUrls": [ "https://store.example.com", "https://another-store.myshopify.com" ], "storeUrl": "https://store.example.com", "collectionsOnly": false, "includeVariants": true, "includeImages": true, "maxProductsPerStore": 1000, "maxResults": 5000 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
