This is a quick post to show you how to retrieve the list of Shopify products in a JSON feed. As a digital marketer, reading the Shopify JSON product feed is useful for competitor research to quickly read and see products for sale, naming conventions, and prices.
In my opinion, this is much easier than having to scrape a full site or XML sitemaps just to retrieve product prices, etc.
Fetch the list of products in JSON
Add the following to the end of the domain name.
By default, the /products.json limits the number of products to 250. To increase that number add this parameter to the URL request ?fields=id&limit=500. Increasing the number further will retrieve more product results.
Fetch product JSON
To fetch the JSON feed for a single product add the following to the end of the domain.
This will fetch the full JSON array for the product. Change the numerical string to match your products.
There you have it, an easy way to retrieve a list of products and single product feeds for Shopify JSON feeds. Scraping JSON feeds triggers fewer firewall blocks than scraping HTML. If you scrape product prices for your competitor reports, have a go at using JSON feeds instead of HTML scraping.
