  "accessNotes": "Big B Comics (bigbcomics.com) runs on Shopify. The connector reads ONLY the public, unauthenticated storefront JSON that every Shopify shop serves to any visitor: /collections/<handle>/products.json?limit=250&page=N for the 18 configured collections (cgc-graded-comics, vintage-comics, comics, ratio-variants, marvel-comics, vintage-spider-man, vintage-x-men, dc-comics … (+10 more, see config.collections)) and /products/<handle>.json for URL lookups (~12.7k products; 3.1k vintage comics, 300 CGC slabs, 400 trading cards). robots.txt (verified 2026-09-08, User-agent *): standard Shopify rules — Disallow /admin, /cart, /checkout(s), /orders, /account, /services, /sf_*, /cart.js, /recommendations/products, /cdn/wpm/*.js and the filter/sort crawl traps (/collections/*sort_by*, /collections/*+*, /collections/*filter*&*filter*); no Crawl-delay for *. The /collections/<handle>/products.json and /products/<handle>.json paths we read carry none of those patterns and are allowed. Sitemap declared at /sitemap.xml (not needed). Access behaviour: plain HTTP 200 JSON with the honest RareIndexBot UA, no anti-bot challenge, no login, no key. Market pinning: Shopify Markets localises products.json prices by the requester IP as soon as an Accept-Language header is present (observed on Markets-enabled shops: a Canadian crawler receives CAD-converted prices with content-language en-CA while the JSON carries no currency field). Every request therefore sends the public localization=CA cookie — the shop's own home market, exactly what a CA visitor gets — so prices are always the declared CAD (verified 2026-09-08: 30.00 vs 43.00 on a Markets shop). Politeness: 1 request per 1.5 s, concurrency 1 per host (connectors/domains.d/g3-shops-na.json), crawlDepth pages per collection per incremental run, backfill bounded by backfillMaxPages. Data: asking prices in CAD (the shop's declared currency) — these are LISTINGS, never sales (§111); one listing per variant (condition/size/edition), variant SKU kept as identifier, out-of-stock variants kept as 'ended' listings, 0.00-priced placeholders dropped. Dates: published_at only; no fetch time is ever used as a sale date. Third-party grades in titles (PSA/BGS/CGC/ICCS/PMG…) are parsed by parseGradeFromTitle; cert numbers are not extracted. Deliberately NOT fetched: cart/checkout/account/customer endpoints, per-product .js barcode enrichment (fetchBarcodes=false: one extra request per product is not worth it for listings), the whole-shop /products.json, and unmapped collections — graphic novels/manga/TPB collections (books, not collectibles), pre-orders, supplies. No personal data is collected; seller = the store itself.",
