apify-ecommerce

An e-commerce research workflow that collects product, seller, pricing, review, bestseller, store, and marketplace data from more than 30 shopping platforms, including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and WooCommerce.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare prices, study competitors, find sellers, inspect reviews and bestsellers, detect store technology, and research marketplaces or delivery services.
Why use it?
It turns natural-language shopping or market-research questions into targeted data collection instead of requiring manual browsing across many stores.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apify-ecommerce scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

E-Commerce Cluster

Answer natural language e-commerce questions by routing to the right Apify Actor and delivering a synthesized answer via the apify CLI.

CLI rules: Always pass --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-ecommerce, --json (or the relevant --format flag on datasets get-items), and 2>/dev/null. The --user-agent flag is critical for telemetry — never omit it.

Prerequisites

(No need to check it upfront)

  • Apify CLI v1.5.0+ (npm install -g apify-cli)
  • jq (recommended for quick extraction and filtering; brew install jq on macOS, apt install jq on Linux)
  • Authentication via one of:

Verify auth: apify info --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-ecommerce — should show username and userId.

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
