What It Is
Agents can't shop the web the way humans do, so 4ort.shop indexes the world's ecommerce for them. At its core is a polite, API-first spider (no headless browsers) that works an extraction ladder across Shopify, WooCommerce, and JSON-LD, mapping how each store actually exposes its catalog rather than scraping rendered pages.
The map so far: 191,000+ domains, including 72,000 live internal search routes, 27,000 fingerprinted commerce platforms, and 5,300+ confirmed live product-catalog endpoints. That's the difference between a list of shops and an index an agent can actually query.
The layer that ties it into the lab is entity grounding: a JSON-LD entity layer spanning 55,000 domains and 131,000+ entities, with products hung off canonical knowledge-graph brand entities instead of floating strings. A product in the index belongs to a real brand the graph already knows. Deals engine and curator stores are the roadmap.
