Features

• Paste a Shopify product page URL and choose a review limit.
• Export reviews as CSV to your local Downloads folder, or export the full JSON result from the browser.
• Uses Playwright, so it can read client-rendered review widgets.
• Extracts reviews from JSON-LD, rendered review markup, and review-provider network responses.
• Includes provider-aware handling for Okendo, Junip, and Judge.me, plus generic support for other review widgets.

Supported Sources

The scraper currently has focused support for:

• Okendo
• Junip
• Judge.me
• JSON-LD review schema
• Generic visible review markup
• Generic review-like JSON payloads from network responses

Other Shopify review platforms may work partially through the generic extractors, but may need provider-specific pagination adapters.

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer
• npm

Local Setup

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/mikefutia/shopify-review-scraper.git
cd shopify-review-scraper

Install dependencies:

npm install
npx playwright install chromium

Start the app:

npm start

Open:

http://localhost:3000

Paste a Shopify product URL, select a review limit, and click Scrape.

Test

npm test

API

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/scrape \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example-store.com/products/example-product","maxReviews":25}'

maxReviews defaults to 25 and is capped at 250.

CSV export is handled by the local server so it works even when browser downloads are blocked. The app writes CSV files directly to your local Downloads folder.

Example response:

{
  "url": "https://example-store.com/products/example-product",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-07T20:00:00.000Z",
  "durationMs": 1400,
  "maxReviews": 25,
  "count": 1,
  "sources": {
    "judge.me": 1
  },
  "reviews": [
    {
      "source": "judge.me",
      "rating": 5,
      "title": "Great product",
      "body": "Review text",
      "author": "Customer",
      "date": "2026-01-10"
    }
  ]
}

Notes

Shopify does not provide reviews through a standard product-page API. Most stores use third-party review apps, so extraction quality depends on the review provider, the storefront implementation, and whether the site blocks automation.

Large review counts can take time because some providers only expose reviews through paginated widgets. The app caps requests at 250 reviews to keep local runs predictable.

Responsible Use

Use this for research, internal analysis, or your own stores. Respect site terms, rate limits, robots.txt, and applicable laws. Do not use this to overload third-party storefronts.
