E-commerce Data Extraction

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/apify-ecommerce from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

E-commerce Data Extraction Extract product data, prices, reviews, and seller information from any e-commerce platform using Apify's E-commerce Scraping Tool.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Progress Tracking, Supported Marketplaces, Running the Extraction, Error Handling, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• You need product, pricing, review, stock, or seller data from e-commerce sites.
• The task involves price monitoring, competitor product comparison, MAP enforcement, or review analysis.
• You need a guided workflow for extracting marketplace data and summarizing findings.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Extract product data, prices, reviews, and seller information from any e-commerce platform using Apify's E-commerce Scraping Tool.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.

Operating Table

Situation	Start here	Why it matters
First-time use	metadata.json	Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review	ORIGIN.md	Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution	reference/scripts/package.json	Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context	reference/scripts/run_actor.js	Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision	## Related Skills	Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

Input Options

Input Type	Field	Description
Product URLs	reviewListingUrls	Product pages to extract reviews from
Keyword Search	keywordReviews + marketplacesReviews	Search for product reviews by keyword

Example - Extract Reviews from Product

{
  "reviewListingUrls": [
    {"url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V3KXJPB"}

Note: The sortReview: "Lowest rated" option may not work consistently across all marketplaces. For quality analysis, collect a large sample and filter by rating in post-processing.

Quality Analysis Tips

• Set high maxReviewResults for statistical significance
• Look for recurring keywords: "broke", "defect", "quality", "returned"
• Filter results by rating if sorting doesn't work as expected
• Cross-reference with competitor products for benchmarking

Imported: Prerequisites

• .env file with APIFY_TOKEN (at ~/.claude/.env)
• Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @apify-ecommerce to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @apify-ecommerce against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @apify-ecommerce for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @apify-ecommerce using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/apify-ecommerce, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
