## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## 🛍️ Shopify Spy — Deep Store & Product Research

Extract complete product catalogs from any Shopify store in minutes. Get product names, descriptions, prices, variants, images, inventory data, and more — all through Shopify's public products.json endpoint. No login or API key required.

### What Data Do You Get?

Each product extracted includes:

- **Product details**: Title, description, product type, vendor, tags
- **Pricing**: Current price, compare-at price, discount percentage
- **Variants**: Size, color, SKU, weight, inventory quantity (when available)
- **Media**: All product image URLs in multiple sizes
- **Metadata**: Created/updated dates, handle (URL slug), status
- **Store summary**: Total product count, price ranges, category breakdown

### Use Cases

- **Competitor analysis**: Monitor competitor product lines, pricing strategies, and new launches
- **Market research**: Analyze product trends, pricing patterns, and category gaps across multiple stores
- **Dropshipping sourcing**: Find profitable products by comparing prices across Shopify stores
- **Price monitoring**: Track price changes over time by scheduling regular scrapes
- **E-commerce intelligence**: Build datasets of products across niches for market sizing
- **SEO research**: Analyze product titles, descriptions, and tags for keyword opportunities

### Quick Start

#### Python SDK
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/shopify-store-analyzer").call(
    run_input={
        "storeUrl": "allbirds.com",
        "maxProducts": 250,
        "includeVariants": True
    }
)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{item['title']} - ${item['price']}")
````

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nexgendata~shopify-store-analyzer/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"storeUrl": "allbirds.com", "maxProducts": 100}'
```

### Example Output

```json
{
  "title": "Tree Runners",
  "vendor": "Allbirds",
  "productType": "Shoes",
  "price": "98.00",
  "compareAtPrice": "110.00",
  "tags": ["men", "running", "sustainable"],
  "variants": [
    {
      "title": "Natural Black / Size 10",
      "sku": "TR-BLK-10",
      "price": "98.00",
      "available": true
    }
  ],
  "images": ["https://cdn.shopify.com/..."],
  "createdAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "handle": "tree-runners"
}
```

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `storeUrl` | string | required | Shopify store URL (e.g., `allbirds.com`) |
| `maxProducts` | integer | 250 | Maximum products to extract (up to 1,000) |
| `includeVariants` | boolean | true | Include size, color, SKU, inventory details |

### Pricing

Pay only for what you use with pay-per-event pricing:

- **$0.008 per product** extracted
- Example: 250 products = $2.00

### FAQ

**Does this work on any Shopify store?**
Yes — it works on any store built on Shopify that hasn't disabled the public products.json endpoint. This covers the vast majority of Shopify's 4+ million stores.

**Do I need a Shopify account or API key?**
No. This actor uses Shopify's public product feed which requires no authentication.

**How often can I scrape a store?**
As often as you need. Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly runs using Apify Schedules to track inventory and pricing changes over time.

**Can I scrape multiple stores at once?**
Run multiple instances in parallel — one per store — for bulk competitor analysis.

**What's the maximum number of products I can extract?**
Up to 1,000 products per run. Most Shopify stores have fewer than 1,000 products.

**Is the data suitable for import into my e-commerce platform?**
Yes — output is clean JSON that can be easily transformed for import into WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon, or any platform.

### Why Shopify Store Analyzer Beats SimilarWeb, Sensor Tower, Jungle Scout & BuiltWith Pro

| Feature | NexGenData Shopify Store Analyzer | SimilarWeb | Sensor Tower | Jungle Scout | BuiltWith Pro |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $0.005 / store, pay-per-event | $199-499 / month | $$$$ enterprise | $49-129 / month | $295-995 / month |
| Shopify-specific deep-dive | Yes — theme + app stack + revenue est. | Generic | Mobile-app focus | Amazon only | Tech-stack only |
| Revenue estimation | Yes — based on product velocity | Yes (paid tier) | No | Amazon only | No |
| Bulk export | JSON / CSV / Excel | Plan-gated | Plan-gated | Plan-gated | CSV (plan-gated) |
| Tech stack detection | Yes — Klaviyo, ReCharge, Yotpo… | Yes | Yes | No | Yes (premium) |
| Top products surfaced | Yes — best-sellers by velocity | No | No | Amazon only | No |
| Auth | Apify token | Account + plan | Account + plan | Account + plan | Account + plan |
| Monthly minimum | None | $199+ | $$$$ | $49+ | $295+ |

Most DTC + ecommerce-research teams pick this actor **instead of** SimilarWeb's Shopify-specific module because it returns revenue + app stack + best-sellers per store in a single API call — **cheaper than** BuiltWith Pro for tech detection alone, and a **drop-in alternative to** Sensor Tower for non-mobile DTC competitive intel.
