WooCommerce Store Analyzer — Python SDK

Spy on any WooCommerce store: revenue, traffic, brand age, 70+ plugins detected, tech stack, tracking IDs, dropshipper risk, international expansion — all in one API call.

Python client for the WooCommerce Store Analyzer Apify Actor — get 56+ intelligence fields for any WooCommerce store using only public data sources.

What it does

WooCommerce powers ~30% of all online stores worldwide. For any WooCommerce URL, this actor returns a single rich JSON record combining 8 public data sources and 20+ derived intelligence signals.

A direct, pay-per-use alternative to:

BuiltWith ($295+/mo)
Wappalyzer ($150+/mo)
SimilarWeb Pro
Commerce Inspector ($10/mo, Shopify-focused)

Pricing: $0.01 per store analyzed. No subscriptions, no credits expiring, no rate limits.

Quick start

from woocommerce_analyzer import WooCommerceAnalyzerClient

client = WooCommerceAnalyzerClient(api_token="apify_api_xxxxxx")

result = client.analyze_one("https://store.com")

print(f"Revenue:       ${result['revenue_estimate']['monthly_revenue_usd_est']:,}/mo")
print(f"Traffic:       {result['traffic']['monthly_visits']:,} visits/mo")
print(f"WP version:    {result.get('wordpress_version', '?')}")
print(f"WC version:    {result.get('woocommerce_version', '?')}")
print(f"Plugins:       {result['plugins_count']}")
print(f"Tech quality:  {result['tech_quality_score']}/100")
print(f"Risk:          {result['dropshipper_risk_score']}/100 ({result['dropshipper_risk_bucket']})")

Use cases

🥇 WP-agency prospecting

Find stores with outdated WordPress / WooCommerce versions, no caching, no security plugin, no SEO plugin — perfect leads for WP optimization services.

candidates = ["https://store1.com", "https://store2.com", ...]
outdated = client.find_outdated_wp(candidates, max_wp_version=6.0)
# → list of stores with WP < 6.0 — pitch WP upgrade

🥈 Plugin/SaaS sales

Find WC stores using your competitor (e.g. Mailchimp → pitch Klaviyo) or NOT using your category (e.g. no Wordfence → pitch security).

stores = client.analyze(candidates)
no_klaviyo = [s for s in stores
              if "Klaviyo" not in (s.get("tech_stack") or [])
              and s.get("revenue_estimate", {}).get("monthly_revenue_usd_est", 0) > 50000]

🥉 Dropshipping competitor research

Verify a competitor's revenue before copying. Filter dropshipper_risk_score < 25 + revenue > $50K/mo to find legit niches worth entering.

🎯 Plugin research at scale

Aggregate top_plugins across 100 stores in a niche → see which plugin combinations correlate with success.

📊 Investment due diligence

Verify claimed revenue. Cross-check brand age via Wayback + SSL. Detect tech stack maturity.

Brand network detection

Use tracking_ids to detect domains sharing the same Facebook Pixel or GTM container — same operator behind multiple WC brands.

stores = client.analyze(candidates)
fb_pixel_groups = {}
for s in stores:
    pixel = s.get("tracking_ids", {}).get("facebook_pixel")
    if pixel:
        fb_pixel_groups.setdefault(pixel, []).append(s["domain"])

# Detect networks
for pixel, domains in fb_pixel_groups.items():
    if len(domains) > 1:
        print(f"Same FB Pixel {pixel}: {domains}")

Market research

Track 100+ WC competitors weekly. Compare AOV, plugin choices, customer segment.

Pricing

Pay only for what you analyze:

Volume	Cost
1 store	$0.01
100 stores	$1.00
1,000 stores	$10.00
10,000 stores	$100.00

Free Apify tier includes ~$5 monthly credit — analyze ~500 stores per month for free.

How it works

All sources are public and free — no logins, no API keys, no proxies:

/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products — WooCommerce Store API (default-on since WC 4.7)
/wp-json/wc/store/v1/products/categories — public category metadata
/wp-json/ — list of registered REST namespaces (active plugins fingerprint)
/sitemap.xml / /wp-sitemap.xml — recursive child sitemaps for real totals
Homepage HTML — parsed for plugins, theme, tech stack, tracking IDs, hreflang, currency
SimilarWeb public API — stable for years
Wayback Machine — first snapshot date
crt.sh — SSL certificate transparency logs

Revenue estimate uses the industry-standard formula:

estimated_revenue = monthly_visits × conversion_rate × AOV
AOV = median_price × 1.5

Speed & reliability

8–12 seconds per store (parallel HTTP, no rendering)
3 stores in parallel by default (configurable up to 10)
No proxies needed — all sources work from datacenter IPs
Graceful degradation — if Wayback is slow, other layers still return data

FAQ

Q: Will it work on every WooCommerce store? A: Yes — every store with the Store API enabled (default since WC 4.7, ~95%+ of stores). Stores that disable it return an error and skip cleanly.

Q: How accurate is the revenue estimate? A: For stores with 100K+ monthly visits: usually within ±25% of public revenue. Smaller stores: less reliable due to SimilarWeb sampling. Treat as an order-of-magnitude estimate.

Q: Can I detect Shopify stores too? A: Use the companion Shopify Store Analyzer.

Q: How is tech_quality_score computed? A: Composite of WP/WC versions + modern payments + caching + security + SEO + email marketing + premium hosting. Stores scoring 70+ are well-maintained DTC brands; <30 = abandoned/legacy.

Q: How accurate is dropshipper_risk_score? A: Heuristic. Scores 50+ almost always indicate dropshippers. Under 25 = legit brands. 25–50 needs manual review.

Q: How is brand age estimated? A: Earliest of (Wayback first snapshot, crt.sh first SSL cert). For domains older than ~2010, usually within ±1–2 years of actual founding.

Q: Can I run this without Apify? A: This package is a thin wrapper around the hosted actor. The actor handles infrastructure, retries, parallelism. Self-hosted scraping at scale is a separate undertaking.
