This project started as a tool for myself to monitor the competition and analyze their site structure, and quickly grew into a tool that I could use to help friends and family with their own projects. It demonstrates how to interact with Shopify's public JSON endpoints to programmatically extract data. Beyond its educational use, it was also used to analyze competitor site structures & downloading full product catalog metadata with ease.

The project is built around the principles of simplicity, clarity, and practical functionality, making it highly approachable for newcomers to Python and web scraping. By offering a clear, working example, it provides beginners with a strong foundation for creating their own automation tools and scripts to handle repetitive tasks or extract structured data from the web.
