Shopify App Detector - Tech Stack Analysis

Overview

This actor scans websites to detect over 2,200 business applications and technologies, with a focus on ecommerce and Shopify stores. It identifies apps for marketing, analytics, payments, reviews, and more, filtering out low-level technical infrastructure. It's used for competitor research, sales intelligence, and market analysis.

Key Features

• Extensive Detection: Identifies 2,200+ apps across categories like Reviews, Email/SMS Marketing, Analytics, Subscriptions, and Customer Service.
• Shopify-Specific: Automatically flags if a site is built on Shopify and provides related metadata.
• Batch Processing: Analyze one or hundreds of website URLs in a single, parallelized run for speed.
• Actionable Output: Focuses on commercial apps and services, providing names, categories, descriptions, and detection confidence scores.

How to Use

Provide an array of website URLs as input and run the actor. It will crawl each site, scan across multiple page types (Homepage, Product, Cart, etc.), and return a JSON result for each URL with all detected apps.

Input

The required input is a list of URLs in an array. You can process a single site or a large batch.
* Field: urls
* Format: ["example.com", "www.store.com", "https://anothershop.com"]
* The actor accepts URLs with or without www and https://.

Output

The actor returns a JSON object for each analyzed website. Here is the structure with example data:
