Chrome Web Store Scraper — extension users, rating, review count, version, last update and newest reviews

Get the public facts of any Chrome extension in one row: name, number of users, average rating, number of ratings and reviews, version, last update date, size, category, developer, website and the 10 newest reviews. Give it extension IDs or Chrome Web Store links. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel or Google Sheets. No login and no API key.

Who uses this: extension makers watching competitors, product managers comparing tools, market researchers sizing a category, security and IT teams checking what an extension is and who makes it, investors and analysts tracking growth, AI agents that need current extension facts.

Price

$0.01 per run + $3 per 1,000 extensions. That is two pay-per-event charges: actor-start ($0.01) once per run and result ($0.003) per extension. No compute fees on top. The free Apify plan ($5 per month credit) covers about 1,600 extensions a month at no cost. An extension that is not found is not charged. A run that Google blocks before it returns any data is not charged.

How to use

1. Open the Input tab and add extensions: the 32-letter ID from the store link, or the link itself.
2. Leave Include the 10 newest reviews on if you want the reviews. They come with the same request.
3. Click Start. Each extension takes about a second. Open the Output tab and export the table as CSV, JSON or Excel, or send it to Google Sheets with Apify's Google Sheets integration.

Limits

• Only public data from the store page. No login and no private data.
• You get the 10 newest reviews of each extension. Older reviews are not included in this version. reviewCount tells you how many exist.
• Users are shown by the store as a rounded number, and the actor returns it as shown.
• An extension that was removed from the store, or an ID that does not exist, is not returned and is named in the run log.
• The actor keeps to about 1 request a second and retries with a pause. If a run fails with 403 or 429, turn on Proxy and choose Residential.

FAQ

Can I track an extension over time? Yes. Schedule the actor in Apify with the same extensions and compare userCount, rating and version between runs.

How do I find an extension's ID? It is the 32 letters at the end of the store link.

Can an AI agent use it? Yes. It works through Apify's API and MCP server. Give it a list of extension IDs.

Something is wrong. What now? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the extension ID and the input you used. Field requests are welcome.
