Web scraping Shopify - easily download all products

[@CurrentElectrical]

This has to be my favourite project to date. As a small (2 person- and growing) electrical company in Canada, we wanted to get one of our wholesalers prices for products in order to create a price book for our electrical technicians to give estimates out faster and in person in the field for our clients without us having to search the website for the prices and creating the quotes from scratch. Lo and behold we were told that there isn''t that feature for their (the wholesalers) website. But...... their online ordering portal is hosted by none other that Shopify! Thank you so much Mr. Rooney for a great little project to gather the information we needed to get in order to update our price books. Now onto finding a python project that will take the information and put it into our price books. :D Have an awesome day.

That’s great! I’m glad you found a solution from my video thank you very much for watching

[@riyas8683]

Thank you for this useful video. I used this to scrape data that I needed. Now no more begging anyone for any data! Thank you!!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Glad you liked it!

[@FireFly969]

Wow thank you, thats without forgetting that in the old way, and the way that takes so much time, you need scrape each element, handle each element and so much, while using this its ready to save it, or study it or doing whatever you want

Dear Mr. John Watson Rooney Can you please help me with adding Options which comes after Variants in Shopify (Products.json) file. Where should i enter this. when i add it products 2 rows for each product. 1 for Size other for Colour, they both don't showup in same line like in the case of Variant for loop for option in item['options']: name = option['name'] values = option['values'] #print(name, values)

[@abhijitmondal7831]

Amazing work 🖤 wow.. that's really amazing. Thanks

[@jcnation5393]

Great, Thank You Very Much. really appreciate your help. I have one question, It only getting the first image, is it possible to get all the available images for the product?

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thanks. Sure - it’s all just json data we can get any part that we want. If you are after all the images you’ll need to loop through each img src to get them

[@bhartikindra1191]

When I do this it shows me raw data only, no save, copy, pretty print option. Any idea why?

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Firefox has a built in Json reader so if you are using chrome or another you won’t see exactly what I do in the browser without an add on

is there a way to sort this json by best-selling filter?

[@ryanwright8799]

What do I do if the website I want to scrape doesn't have a json view like this?

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Generally you'll need to parse the HTML with something like BeautifulSoup, or see if you can find the API and mimic the browser request to it. I have a lot of videos on my channel that cover these topics, hope that helps!

[@FedericoBechini]

what happens if the Shopify site is blocked by password? when I try to scrap I get HTTP ERROR 401

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

If you are trying to access the admin part it will be but the general products json is always available

[@FedericoBechini]

@@JohnWatsonRooney well I tried and return 401, unless there is no products yet? Maybe is that?

Am I wrong in saying that Inventory data is not available? IE, how many of a certain product is left? it would be super handy to keep an eye on the sales of a competitor...

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

It isn’t available no, but it used to be there! I remember shop owners complaining as anyone could see their inventory levels

[@Omer-or8pg]

Hi I’m a beginner May I ask how I would make it so it would scrape 50,000 products? How do I make the program go through different pages and scrape everything?

[@rakeshkumar-jk4lt]

any shortcut for woocommerce to export products in json format like shopify ?

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

There isn’t I’m afraid in my experience it has to be done via html scraping

[@tarun3209]

I have a question, Is it possible to view products not loaded on the frontend but hidden on the admin panel, if so how can you view all the data for those hidden products?

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Afraid not! Those hidden ones need admin access to see. If you had admin access to the store you can get the json with all the extra product info

[@cjlim4340]

Just to follow up on this question,if the product I need is up on the site just for preview but information is hidden like variants and links,is there anyway to pull up those information via python scraper?

[@ottobouselham]

@@sofibofi1266 the basic product data as show in this video is available on all shopify stores to anyone, if you need more information than that you would need admin access to the store - that would need to be given by the store owner

[@imagecircus1655]

Hello John if I look at the products.json are these only the active products? Not the hidden coming soon products? Where can I see the hidden coming soon products? 👍 For example somebody published at 5 PM CET a new product. Where can I find the ID before 5 PM CET? ✌️

Yes i believe they are only active products, there's no way to find ones that haven't been listed yet - without having admin access!!

[@scandarsilva9416]

instead of pulling everything and then checking if it was on sale

Yes I think so, you need to know the collection name: /collections.json.. then do - “/collections/collection and/products.json” to get all products in that collection

Hello, first of all thank you for this video! Do you have a discord server? I had a question about tracking changes in a CSV file that contains thousands of product data. I am trying to monitor a Shopify website by constantly updating a CSV file and using pandas to filter out the data i want. I have already managed to scrape data into the CSV file but i am struggling with my attempt to monitor how the data changes since i am using a loop to update it. I am currently able to filter out whats available and display it in a discord web hook, but what i really what to accomplish is the ability to monitor whats currently not in stock and display a message when it finally becomes in stock by comparing an older csv file and newer csv file. So far i have had no progress in my approach. Can you give me advice on how i should approach doing this or maybe suggest other alternatives? Thank you, i am subscribed and also pinged this channel for future notifications.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

This is a really good question! I’m going to cover this in an upcoming video - how to manage getting new and updated information from online stores. It does require the use of a database and SQL to manage it properly so I want to make sure that how I show it is the best and up to date practise

Yes you can do this on Windows. Download Python from the Win10 store, and get VScode text editor. You'll need to install "python pip" too - easy to do on windows just google it. then "pip install requests" in your cmd line or powershell and you should be able to follow from there.
