## 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 Yotpo Reviews Scraper API

Pull every public Yotpo review from any Shopify store into one clean spreadsheet. A single 1-star sweep of a rival's launch quarter, a catalog-wide rating snapshot of your own storefront, or the complete review history for a single SKU. Ready to filter, sort, and download in minutes.

### 🎬 What it does

Paste a Shopify store URL, product URL, or storefront landing page with an embedded Yotpo product widget. Get back reviews in a spreadsheet.

Three kinds of input:

1. **Store URL** returns one summary row per public product on the store, including SKUs sitting at zero reviews. Good for catalog-wide dashboards, launch-week rating sweeps, and spotting the quiet products in your own store.
2. **Product URL** returns every individual review on that exact product. Good for quote pulls, monthly agency reports, and single-SKU deep dives.
3. **Landing or collection page** returns reviews for the exact product embedded in its Yotpo widget. If the page has no product widget, it falls back to a store catalog scan.

Shape the results before you pay for them:

- **Free filters and sorts**: keep any mix of 1 to 5 stars. Sort by featured, newest, oldest, highest rating, or lowest rating.
- **Paid keyword search**: pull only reviews mentioning a phrase like "refund", "sizing", or "gift".
- **Paid verified, media, incentive, and reply filters**: verified buyers only, photos only, videos only, either type of media, only or excluding incentivized reviews, or only reviews the store has publicly replied to.
- **Paid date, content, and language filters**: narrow to a date window, keep only written reviews or only ratings without text, or the set of languages you actually read.
- **Paid country, variant, and topic filters**: keep only reviewers from a country, only reviews on a variant, or only reviews about a topic Yotpo tagged.
- **Paid custom sorts**: order by raw helpful or down-vote counts, or push photo or video reviews to the top of the export.
- **Paid enrichments**: tag each review with a detected language, translate reviews into your chosen language, and archive photo or video files to your run storage.

Duplicate URLs collapse automatically, so a store URL and one of its product URLs in the same run never charges you twice. Status rows like `no_products_found` are always free.

Good for: Shopify founders watching their own reviews week over week, CMOs auditing a rival's launch quarter, agencies scoring a client roster monthly, and analysts building review datasets they can actually trust.

### 📋 How to use it

#### Step 1: Paste your inputs

Drop any combination into **Start URLs**, one per line. Duplicates are cleaned up so you never pay twice for the same store, product, or landing page.

- **Store URL**: `https://www.lacrosseunlimited.com/`
- **Product URL**: `https://www.lacrosseunlimited.com/products/stringking-mark-2v-lacrosse-head-unstrung`
- **Landing page**: any public Shopify `/pages/*`, collection, or campaign URL that embeds a Yotpo product widget

Minimum input, run as-is:

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.lacrosseunlimited.com/",
    "https://www.lacrosseunlimited.com/products/stringking-mark-2v-lacrosse-head-unstrung"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerUrl": 50
}
```

`maxResultsPerUrl` is the only limit you need. Default 50, max 50,000. For a store URL it caps product summaries. For a product URL or a landing page with an embedded product widget, it caps reviews.

#### Step 2: Pick filters and add-ons

Free filters and sorts (sent straight to Yotpo):

- **Star rating filter**: keep any combination of 1 to 5 stars.
- **Sort order**: Featured, Newest, Oldest, Highest rating, or Lowest rating.

Paid add-ons (billed only when they actually deliver a row):

- **Keyword search**: only reviews whose title or text contains your phrase.
- **Verified only**: only reviews Yotpo marks as verified.
- **Media filters**: only reviews with a photo, only with a video, or only with either.
- **Store-reply only**: only reviews the merchant has publicly replied to.
- **Incentivized filter**: keep only incentivized reviews, or exclude them.
- **Date range**: only reviews posted between two dates.
- **Written vs rating-only**: only reviews with text, or only star-ratings without text.
- **Language, country, variant, and topic filters**: only the review flavors you want.
- **Helpful and media custom sorts**: order by raw helpful/down-vote counts, or push reviews with photos or videos to the top.
- **Language detection**: adds a language tag when Yotpo did not include one, billed only when detection succeeds.
- **Translation**: translates the review title and text into your chosen language, billed only when a translation is returned.
- **Media archiving**: downloads and stores up to 10 photos or videos per review (3 MB per file cap), billed only per file stored.

For API clients, the canonical paid-feature toggles are `includeLanguageDetection`,
`includeReviewTranslations`, and `includeMediaDownloads`. The former `detectLanguage`,
`translateReviews`, and `downloadMedia` names remain accepted as compatibility aliases for existing
saved tasks.

#### Step 3: Choose output fields

Every optional source field has an `output…` switch, enabled by default. Turn off fields you do not need
to reduce dataset size. Core interpretation fields—`status`, `rowType`, product/review IDs, `rating`,
`text`, `scrapedAt`, and `error`—always remain present. An enabled field that has no source value is
`null`; an output field switched off is omitted. Empty source arrays and objects are also returned as
`null` so CSV and spreadsheet exports stay clean.

#### Step 4: Run it and get your results

Click **Start**. Rows stream into the Output tab as they come in. The dataset ships with four ready-made views:

- **Overview**: high-level shape of every row.
- **Products**: one row per catalog product from a store scan.
- **Reviews**: one row per review from a product URL or embedded-product landing page.
- **Language & Media**: detected languages, translated text, and archived media.

Every row starts with a `status` field. `Success` means the row is real data. Anything else is a
plain-English explanation, paired with a stable `error` code such as `no_products_found` or
`yotpo_not_detected`, so you can spot and fix problems without reading the logs. Explanatory rows are
never charged.

Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Storage tab, or pull them straight into your app through the Apify API.

### 💰 Pricing

Pay only for results you actually get back. No subscription, no minimum.

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| Actor Start | **$0.00005 minimum per run** | charged when the Actor starts; the platform scales the event count with allocated memory |
| Review | **$1.50 per 1,000 rows** | per product summary or review delivered |
| Add-on: Advanced filter | **$0.50 per 1,000 rows** | per delivered review a paid filter kept |
| Add-on: Custom sort | **$0.50 per 1,000 rows** | per delivered review from a helpful, down-voted, pictures-first, or videos-first sort |
| Add-on: Language detected | **$0.50 per 1,000 rows** | per delivered review where the actor detected the language |
| Add-on: Review translated | **$2.00 per 1,000 rows** | per delivered review that was actually translated |
| Add-on: Media downloaded | **$1.00 per 1,000 files** | per media file archived successfully |

Rating filters, native Yotpo sorts, source photo and video URLs, Yotpo's own translations, and status rows are all free.

### 💡 Good to know

- **Exact-product only**. Reviews borrowed from grouped, syndicated, bundled, or related products are never returned as though they belonged to the requested product. If ownership cannot be verified safely, you get a clear status row instead of guesswork.
- **Zero-review products are included** on store scans. Your catalog view stays complete.
- **Dedup is automatic**. The same store, product, or landing page reached through several URL variants is fetched once.
- **Post-fetch scan cap**. Sorts and filters that need a complete review scan are bounded at 50,000 source reviews per product. If a complete result cannot be guaranteed, you get an uncharged `review_scan_limit_exceeded` row instead of a silently incomplete result.
- **Not on Yotpo?** If the store runs a different review widget, the status row tells you which sibling tool to run.
- **Status rows are never charged**. Unsupported providers, empty filtered results, and rejected URLs come back with a stable `error` value that explains the fix.
- **Field coverage matches the source**. If the storefront did not publish a value, the field comes back `null`. Fields you toggle off are omitted from the row entirely.
- **Runs are independent**. No cross-run history is kept. Schedule runs and compare `reviewId` on your side to track what is new.
- Files and datasets live in your Apify storage. How long they are kept depends on your Apify plan.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a Yotpo or Shopify account?**
No. Only publicly published storefront and review data is read.

**What if a store does not use Yotpo?**
You get one uncharged status row that explains it. When the actor spots a supported sibling widget on the store, the row names the matching tool to run instead.

**What if a product has no reviews?**
On a store scan you still get the product summary row with `reviewCount: 0` and empty rating fields. On a product scan pointing at a review-less product you get a status row that says no reviews matched.

**Why are some fields null?**
Not every store publishes every field. `null` means the field was requested but the storefront did not expose it. Fields you toggle off are omitted entirely.

**Can I schedule this?**
Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run on any cadence and compare `reviewId` across snapshots to track new reviews.

**Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets?**
Yes. Open the run's Storage tab and pick CSV, Excel, JSON, or one of the other formats.

**Which stores work?**
Any Shopify store whose review widget is powered by Yotpo and whose public catalog is reachable.

**How long are my results stored?**
Results live in your Apify dataset. How long they are kept depends on your Apify plan.
