## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopify Tech Stack Detector

### What it does

Analyzes Shopify stores to identify their **theme** and **installed third-party apps** by examining the HTML source code and HTTP response headers. No API key required.

### Features

- Detects whether a website is built on Shopify
- Identifies the active Shopify theme (name and ID)
- Detects **80+ popular third-party apps** across categories:
  - Email Marketing (Klaviyo, Omnisend, Mailchimp, etc.)
  - Reviews & UGC (Judge.me, Yotpo, Loox, Stamped.io, etc.)
  - Live Chat (Gorgias, Tidio, Zendesk, Intercom, etc.)
  - Payments & Subscriptions (ReCharge, Afterpay, Klarna, etc.)
  - Page Builders (PageFly, Shogun, GemPages, etc.)
  - Analytics (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, etc.)
  - And many more...
- Extracts store metadata: currency, language, Shopify plan, store name

### How to use

1. Go to the Actor's input page on Apify Console
2. Add one or more Shopify store URLs (e.g., `https://www.gymshark.com`)
3. Click "Start" to run the Actor
4. View results in the "Dataset" tab

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `start_urls` | Array | List of Shopify store URLs to analyze |

### Sample output

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.gymshark.com",
  "is_shopify": true,
  "theme_name": "Dawn",
  "theme_id": "12345678",
  "apps_detected": "Google Analytics, Klaviyo, Yotpo",
  "app_count": 3,
  "app_list": ["Google Analytics", "Klaviyo", "Yotpo"],
  "shopify_plan": "enterprise",
  "currency": "USD",
  "language": "en",
  "shop_name": "Gymshark",
  "checked_at": "2026-03-18T12:00:00.000000"
}
```

### Notes

- The Actor uses HTTP requests only (no browser automation), making it fast and lightweight
- Detection is based on HTML source analysis — apps that load purely via server-side code may not be detected
- Works best with public-facing Shopify stores
- Non-Shopify websites will be flagged with `"is_shopify": false`
- Rate limiting: add a small delay between URLs if scanning many stores

# Actor input Schema

## `start_urls` (type: `array`):

List of Shopify store URLs to analyze (e.g., https://www.gymshark.com)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.gymshark.com"
    }
  ]
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "start_urls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.gymshark.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gentle_cloud/shopify-tech-stack-detector").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "start_urls": [{ "url": "https://www.gymshark.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gentle_cloud/shopify-tech-stack-detector").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "start_urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.gymshark.com"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call gentle_cloud/shopify-tech-stack-detector --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gentle_cloud/shopify-tech-stack-detector"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
