Shopify Scraping: Extract Products from Any Store

Shopify stores vary widely in protection levels since individual merchants independently choose their own security measures and configurations. Datacenter proxies often work for unprotected stores by accessing /products.json endpoints directly for catalog data. Use for competitor price monitoring, product catalog extraction, and dropshipping product research.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Shopify stores easy to scrape?

Most Shopify stores are relatively easy to scrape. Many expose JSON product endpoints (/products.json) without protection. Store protection varies by merchant—small shops often have minimal security while larger stores may use Shopify's bot protection or third-party solutions. Check each store's security level individually.

What proxy type works for Shopify?

Datacenter proxies work for unprotected Shopify stores. Residential proxies provide broader compatibility across stores with varying protection. ISP proxies balance speed and reliability. Scraping multiple stores requires flexibility—some stores need residential proxies while others work with datacenter.

How do I use Shopify's products.json endpoint?

Many Shopify stores expose /products.json containing all products with details. Access [store-domain]/products.json to get structured JSON data. This endpoint paginates with ?page=X parameters. Not all stores enable this endpoint—some restrict access, requiring browser-based scraping instead.

What Shopify store data can I extract?

Shopify scraping yields product titles, descriptions, and images, pricing including sale and compare-at prices, variant information (sizes, colors), inventory availability indicators, collection organization, and vendor information. Store metadata and policies are also accessible for broader business intelligence.

How do I find products to dropship from Shopify stores?

Identify dropshipping products by scraping successful Shopify stores in target niches. Look for products with supplier links or identifiable manufacturers. Cross-reference with AliExpress or supplier databases. Focus on stores with high traffic (check SimilarWeb) and trending products for dropshipping opportunities.

How do I handle Shopify stores with bot protection?

Protected Shopify stores require residential proxies, proper browser automation with anti-detection features, and realistic browsing behavior. Some stores use DataDome or PerimeterX—treat these like other protected sites. Check multiple endpoints and pages to assess protection level before investing in complex scraping infrastructure.
