Shopify Metadata Scraper

Shopify Metadata Scraper

Scrape metadata from any Shopify page: title, meta description, Open Graph tags, canonical URL, hreflang, navigation links, and more. Returns structured data for SEO audits, competitive analysis, and content localization. No API key or login required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Shopify's corporate site and storefront pages contain rich metadata that is hard to extract manually. This scraper reads the HTML of any Shopify URL and returns the title, meta description, Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url), canonical URL, hreflang alternates, navigation links, hero image details, preload fonts, favicon, and Apple touch icon. It simulates a real browser with configurable country and language for localized content.

What a Shopify record looks like

Every record returns as one flat JSON row. Here is a real one from a run:

Every value above comes from a real run. A field a record does not have comes back as null.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor from one or more Shopify page URLs. The region country and language filters let you simulate a visitor from a specific locale so the returned metadata matches what users in that market see. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "startUrls": [
 {
 "url": "https://www.shopify.com"
 }
 ],
 "maxItems": 10,
 "regionCountry": "US",
 "regionLanguage": "en"
}

A larger pull:

{
 "startUrls": [
 {
 "url": "https://www.shopify.com"
 }
 ],
 "maxItems": 200,
 "regionCountry": "US",
 "regionLanguage": "en"
}

Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
3. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Shopify through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the URL is a public Shopify page and returns HTTP 200. Also verify that the region and language settings are correct for the page you are targeting.

The metadata fields are empty.

Some pages may not include all metadata tags (e.g., no Open Graph tags, no hreflang). The scraper returns null for missing fields. Try a different URL or check the page source manually.

I see different metadata than what I expected.

The metadata can vary by region and language. Ensure your Region Country and Region Language inputs match the audience you want to simulate. Also, the page may serve different content based on cookies or user agent.

The scraper is slow or times out.

Reduce the number of concurrent requests or increase the timeout. If scraping many URLs, consider splitting them into smaller batches.

I get an error about invalid URL.

Make sure the URL starts with http:// or https:// and is a valid Shopify page. URLs like shopify.com without the protocol will be rejected.

FAQ

Question	Answer
What pages can I scrape with this Actor?	Any public Shopify page URL. The default is the Shopify homepage, but you can provide any Shopify storefront or corporate page URL.
Do I need a Shopify API key?	No. This scraper reads the public HTML of the page directly, no API registration or OAuth required.
What metadata fields are returned?	Title, meta description, Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url), canonical URL, hreflang alternates, navigation links, hero image with srcset and sizes, preload fonts, favicon, and Apple touch icon.
Can I scrape product-level data like prices or stock?	No. This Actor extracts page-level metadata only. For product data (prices, variants, stock), use a dedicated Shopify product scraper.
How do I scrape localized content?	Set the Region Country and Region Language input fields. The scraper simulates a visitor from that locale and returns the metadata served to that audience.
What is the maximum number of pages I can scrape?	Free users are limited to 10 items (preview). Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000.
Can I scrape multiple URLs in one run?	Yes. Provide an array of start URLs. Each URL is scraped independently and results are combined into one dataset.
What export formats are supported?	CSV, JSON, Excel, and XML. You can download the dataset from the Apify storage or push it to a destination via webhook.
Does this Actor handle JavaScript-rendered content?	No. It parses the static HTML returned by the server. If the page relies on JavaScript to load metadata, the scraper may not capture it.
Is there a risk of being blocked?	The Shopify corporate site has low anti-bot risk. However, scraping at high concurrency may trigger rate limits. Use moderate concurrency and respect robots.txt.
