What’s the best way to gather Shopify product data if business allows scraping?
Shopify has a robust API that store owners can enable for data access. When the API is available, I always use it instead of scraping HTML.

If the store’s API isn’t open, I scrape only publicly available information, like product descriptions and prices, to respect their terms.

- Setting up a dedicated scraper for each Shopify store helps me manage and organize data from different brands more effectively.

- I respect the store’s robots.txt file and avoid restricted areas like admin panels or checkout pages to stay compliant.

- Automating data checks for updates lets me track new arrivals or out-of-stock products without overloading the store’s server.
