Shopify Store Leads Scraper

What this Actor scrapes

Shopify powers over 4 million stores worldwide. This Actor takes a list of website domains and runs multi-signal detection across each one: it tries /products.json, reads HTTP headers (x-shopify-stage, x-sorting-hat-shopid, powered-by), and scans the homepage HTML for cdn.shopify.com, Shopify.theme, and *.myshopify.com references. Whichever signal fires first wins. Confirmed Shopify stores are then enriched with product count, a sample of product titles, the *.myshopify.com subdomain, any contact email found on the homepage or /contact page, social profile links, and the storefront currency.

Run it once to qualify a prospect list, or schedule it weekly to monitor an entire vertical.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Multi-signal detection — three independent detection layers so stores that block /products.json (like Gymshark) are still correctly identified via headers and HTML markers.
• 🌐 Residential proxy rotation via Apify Proxy — fresh session and exit IP on every request so your detection run doesn't get flagged as a crawler.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 5xx — up to 5 attempts per domain, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧱 Rate-limit-aware pacing — when a CDN or WAF pushes back, we slow down and rotate before retrying, not after failing.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated, ISO-8601 timestamps, JSON / CSV / Excel export from the Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you pay only for confirmed results that hit your dataset. Zero rows, zero charge (beyond the small start event).

Use cases

• Shopify app vendor prospecting — feed a domain list from a niche directory, get back every Shopify store with email and product count, ready to import into your CRM.
• DTC agency outreach — qualify inbound leads: "does this prospect actually run Shopify?" answered programmatically, no manual checks.
• Competitive intelligence — track which new entrants in a product category have spun up Shopify stores over the last 30 days.
• Platform migration research — identify the Shopify footprint in a specific industry vertical before pitching a replatforming project.
• Market-sizing for app developers — count confirmed Shopify stores in a niche to validate an app idea before building.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

Output

One row per result, schema-validated before it is written. Export JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the run, or read it over the API.

Pricing

You pay only for results that land. Cap any run with maxTotalChargeUsd. See pricing & billing for worked examples.

Limitations

• Some stores block /products.json: stores like Gymshark return 403. We fall back to header and HTML-marker detection, which confirms Shopify but can't retrieve product lists — product_count and sample_product_titles will be null for those.
• Email is best-effort: many Shopify stores hide contact email behind forms or Zendesk widgets. We surface mailto: links only; JavaScript-rendered contact forms are out of scope for the HTTP-tier implementation.
• Social links are homepage-scraped: some brands link social accounts only in the footer of inner pages. If they're not on the homepage, they won't appear.
• Rate limiting on large lists: running thousands of domains in a single Actor run is possible but slow. Batch in groups of 500–1 000 for predictable run times. Use maxResults to cap during testing.
• Shopify Markets / headless: some enterprise Shopify deployments use custom domains + headless frontends that mask Shopify signals entirely. Detection rates on headless stores are lower.
