## 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 Product Scraper

Scrape Shopify store products via the public `products.json` API. Fast, HTTP-only product data extraction for competitor research, price monitoring, catalog analysis, and dropshipping product discovery.

No browser required — this Actor fetches structured JSON directly from Shopify storefronts and collections, making it one of the fastest ways to extract product catalogs from Shopify stores.

### Features

- Scrape full store catalogs or individual collections
- HTTP-only requests — no headless browser overhead
- Automatic pagination (up to 250 products per page)
- Variant details: SKU, price, compare-at price, availability, options
- Product images, tags, vendor, and product type
- Store currency detection via Shopify `cart.js`
- Graceful fallback from collection to store-wide scrape on 404
- Multi-store support in a single run

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `storeUrls` | `string[]` | Yes | — | Shopify store URLs (`https://store.myshopify.com`) or collection URLs (`https://store.com/collections/sale`) |
| `maxProducts` | `integer` | No | `250` | Maximum products to scrape per store URL |
| `includeVariants` | `boolean` | No | `true` | Include full variant details for each product |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "storeUrls": [
        "https://www.allbirds.com",
        "https://kyliecosmetics.com/collections/lips"
    ],
    "maxProducts": 100,
    "includeVariants": true
}
```

### Output

Each product is saved as one dataset item:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `title` | `string` | Product title |
| `handle` | `string` | URL slug / product handle |
| `vendor` | `string` | Product vendor / brand |
| `productType` | `string` | Shopify product type |
| `tags` | `string[]` | Product tags |
| `price` | `number` | Primary variant price |
| `compareAtPrice` | `number` | Compare-at price (if set) |
| `currency` | `string` | Store currency (e.g. USD) |
| `available` | `boolean` | Whether any variant is in stock |
| `variantsCount` | `number` | Number of variants |
| `variants` | `object[]` | Variant details (when `includeVariants` is true) |
| `images` | `string[]` | Product image URLs |
| `url` | `string` | Canonical product page URL |
| `scrapedAt` | `string` | ISO timestamp of extraction |

### How it works

1. Parses each input URL to detect store vs. collection endpoints
2. Resolves store currency from `/cart.js`
3. Fetches `GET /products.json?limit=250&page=N` (or collection equivalent)
4. Paginates until `maxProducts` is reached or no more products are returned
5. Normalizes product and variant fields and pushes results to the dataset

### Run locally

```bash
apify run
```

Set input in `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json` or pass via the Apify CLI.

### Deploy

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

### Use cases

- **Competitor research** — Monitor rival Shopify catalogs, pricing, and new launches
- **Dropshipping** — Discover products, variants, and images from supplier stores
- **Price tracking** — Track `price` and `compareAtPrice` over scheduled runs
- **Catalog migration** — Export structured product data for analysis or import pipelines
- **Market intelligence** — Analyze vendors, tags, and product types across niches

### Limitations

- Only works on Shopify stores that expose the public `products.json` endpoint (most standard Shopify themes do)
- Some stores may rate-limit or block automated requests
- Currency is inferred from the store cart endpoint and may be `null` on restricted stores
- Collection scraping falls back to store-wide scrape if the collection endpoint returns 404
