Apify Stats

Search the Apify Store and get usage stats for every matching Actor: total runs, active users, review ratings, pricing, and 30-day success rate. Rank the results by whatever you care about, such as popularity, rating, price, or recency.

This is a meta Actor. It uses the Apify Store API to find Actors and returns clean, structured stats so you can compare them and pick the best or cheapest one for a task.

Features

• Full-text search across the whole Store (titles, names, descriptions).
• Rank by popularity, top rated, cheapest, most runs, newest, or recently updated.
• Filter by category, pricing model, minimum runs, or minimum rating.
• Per-Actor stats: total runs, total users, 7/30/90-day active users, 30-day success rate, review rating and count, bookmarks, and last run time.
• Pricing model and starting price for each Actor.
• Optional enrichment with creation and update dates, default run options, and source repo URL.
• Aggregate summary (most popular, top rated, cheapest, totals, pricing breakdown) in the run's OUTPUT.

Example input

Most popular Instagram Actors with real traction:

{ "search": "instagram", "sortBy": "popularity", "limit": 20, "minRuns": 1000 }

Cheapest AI Actors in the Store:

{ "search": "", "category": "AI", "sortBy": "cheapest", "limit": 50 }

Input

Field	Type	Description
search	string	Full-text search term. Leave empty to browse the whole Store.
category	string	Restrict to one Store category (AI, SOCIAL_MEDIA, ECOMMERCE, and so on).
sortBy	string	relevance, popularity, topRated, cheapest, mostRuns, newest, or lastUpdate.
limit	integer	How many Actors to return (auto-paginated, max 1000).
offset	integer	Skip this many Store results before collecting.
minRuns	integer	Keep only Actors run at least this many times.
minRating	number	Keep only Actors rated at least this high (0 to 5, decimals allowed).
pricingModel	string	Keep only Actors on this pricing model (FREE, PAY_PER_EVENT, and so on).
enrichWithDetails	boolean	Add dates, run options, and repo URL (one extra API call per Actor).

Sorting and the search term

The Apify Store API only respects the search text when sorting by relevance. So when you combine a search term with any other order, this Actor fetches a pool of relevance matches, keeps the ones that actually mention your term, and ranks them itself. Popularity, top rated, cheapest, and most runs rank over up to 1000 matches. Newest and recently updated need one extra API call per Actor, so they are limited to 200 matches when a search term is set. For very broad searches, narrow the term to get exact rankings.

Output

Each dataset item is one Actor:

{
  "title": "Instagram Scraper",
  "name": "instagram-scraper",
  "fullName": "apify/instagram-scraper",
  "developer": "Apify",
  "username": "apify",
  "url": "https://apify.com/apify/instagram-scraper",
  "apiUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~instagram-scraper",
  "description": "Extract Instagram posts, reels, profiles, ...",
  "categories": ["SOCIAL_MEDIA"],
  "badge": null,
  "pricingModel": "PAY_PER_EVENT",
  "priceUsd": 0.0027,
  "totalRuns": 153970973,
  "totalUsers": 318106,
  "totalBuilds": 2834,
  "users7Days": 17243,
  "users30Days": 33830,
  "users90Days": 56817,

  "pictureUrl": "https://images.apifyusercontent.com/..."
}

With enrichWithDetails set to true (and always for the newest and lastUpdate sorts), each item also includes createdAt, modifiedAt, gitRepoUrl, defaultMemoryMbytes, defaultTimeoutSecs, and seoTitle.

Run summary (OUTPUT)

The run's default key-value store record OUTPUT holds an aggregate for the whole result set:

{
  "query": { "search": "instagram", "requestedSort": "popularity" },
  "returned": 20,
  "requestedLimit": 20,
  "storeTotalForQuery": 3558,
  "scanned": 200,
  "totalRunsAcrossResults": 214813254,
  "totalUsersAcrossResults": 1106273,
  "averageReviewRating": 4.72,
  "mostPopular": "apify/instagram-scraper",
  "topRated": "apify/instagram-profile-scraper",
  "cheapest": "some/free-actor",
  "pricingBreakdown": { "PAY_PER_EVENT": 19, "FREE": 1 },
  "generatedFrom": "https://api.apify.com/v2/store"
}

How it works

The Actor calls the public Apify Store API, paginates through results, dedupes them (the relevance search returns overlapping pages), applies your filters, ranks client-side when needed, and optionally fetches per-Actor details. It uses the run's APIFY_TOKEN automatically for higher rate limits, with no configuration needed.

Use cases

• Pick the right Actor by comparing the best and cheapest options for a task.
• Market research: size up a niche before building your own Actor.
• Competitor tracking: snapshot runs, users, and ratings on a schedule.
• Dashboards and agents: feed live Store stats into your own tools.
