Question 1

Is scraping Shopify stores legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, scraping publicly available data from Shopify stores is generally legal. We only access public product information that's already visible to website visitors. However, we recommend reviewing each store's robots.txt file and terms of service. We respect rate limits and follow ethical scraping practices.

Question 2

How fast can I scrape a store?

Accepted Answer

Scraping speed depends on the store size and our rate limiting for ethical scraping. Small stores (100-500 products) typically take 1-3 minutes, while larger stores with thousands of products may take 10-30 minutes. You'll see real-time progress updates during the scraping process.

Question 3

What data can I extract from Shopify stores?

Accepted Answer

We extract comprehensive product information including product titles, descriptions, prices, compare-at prices, product images, variants (size, color, etc.), vendor information, product tags, availability status, and collection data. All data that's publicly visible on the store.

Question 4

Can I export data to my Shopify store?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our CSV export format is fully compatible with Shopify's product import system. You can filter the products you want, export them to CSV, and then import directly into your Shopify admin. The format includes all necessary fields for seamless import.

Question 5

How many products can I scrape?

Accepted Answer

Free accounts can scrape up to 500 products per month across up to 3 stores. Pro accounts have unlimited scraping with no restrictions on store count or product volume. Business accounts include additional features like API access and priority processing.

Question 6

Can I schedule automatic scraping?

Accepted Answer

Pro and Business plans include scheduled scraping features. You can set up regular scraping of competitor stores to track price changes, new product launches, and inventory updates. This helps you stay competitive with automated competitive intelligence.
