Google Shopping Scraper & API: prices, stores and reviews

Run on Apify

Google Shopping Scraper is an Apify Actor that returns Google Shopping results for any search and country: product title, price, original price and discount, store, rating, review count, delivery, returns and Google product IDs, about 50 products per search in seconds, at $1 per 1,000 products. Use it from code, on a schedule or from AI agents through Apify's MCP server.

Price: $1 per 1,000 products ($0.80 on Gold and above) · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/google-shopping-scraper · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/google-shopping-scraper/

Quick facts

  • One row per product: title, price and currency, original price and discount, store, other stores flag, delivery, returns, rating, review count, thumbnail, Google product IDs and a Google Shopping link.
  • Any Google Shopping country; prices come in that country's currency.
  • Plain HTTP through Apify's Google SERP proxy: a search takes a few seconds.
  • Price tracking: with Only new results on, a scheduled run returns only new listings and price changes since the last run (per store), with the previous price. Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/guides/google-shopping-price-tracker/
  • Price: $1 per 1,000 products; Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers 5,000 products.

FAQ

Is there an official Google Shopping API? Google's Content API manages your own Merchant Center products; it doesn't return Google Shopping search results. Google Shopping Scraper on Apify returns the results page as data through Apify's API, clients and MCP.

How many products per search? About 50, the number Google shows on a Shopping results page.

Can it track price changes? Yes. Turn on Only new results and schedule it: each run returns new listings and price changes since the last run, marked price_down or price_up, with the previous price.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
