They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Built for Shopify app developers doing competitor research, agencies building market reports, and investors or analysts tracking app category trends. ### Why this scraper - Extracts rating, review count, and pricing directly from each page's JSON-LD and meta tags rather than scraping rendered DOM elements, so these fields are consistently populated instead of coming back empty or null on listings with non-standard layouts. - Priced at $0.002 per listing — for a 500-listing category sweep that's $1.00. - Only exports what's declared on the public listing page: app name, developer, rating, review count, pricing, category, description, icon, and badge status — no reviewer names or other personal data. ### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | url | string | Canonical URL of the app listing page | | appName | string | Name of the Shopify app | | developerName | string | Name of the app's developer/publisher | | rating | number | Average star rating (e.g. 4.7) | | reviewCount | integer | Total number of reviews the app has received | | pricingSummary | string | Short pricing text shown on the listing, e.g. "Free to install" or "Free trial available" | | category | string | Primary app category/taxonomy label | | description | string | Meta/SEO description summarizing the app | | iconUrl | string | URL of the app's icon image | | builtForShopify | boolean | Whether the app carries the "Built for Shopify" badge | ### Input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing" } ], "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Output ```json { "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing", "appName": "Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS", "developerName": "Klaviyo", "rating": 4.7, "reviewCount": 2949, "pricingSummary": "Free to install", "category": "DeveloperApplication", "description": "Klaviyo is a leading email and sms marketing app for Shopify. Improve your marketing ROI with our templates to deliver personalized email and sms campaigns.", "iconUrl": "https://cdn.shopify.com/app-store/listing_images/5edd9000b933a8fa88c152d1e498531f/icon/CP6B2OOv3PYCEAE=.png", "builtForShopify": false } ``` ### Pricing Pay per event: **$0.002 per app listing scraped**. Scraping 100 listings costs $0.20; a 1,000-listing category audit costs $2.00. ### Use cases - An app developer benchmarking competitor pricing tiers and review counts before setting their own app's pricing page. - A Shopify agency compiling a "top apps by category" report for a client's tech stack recommendation. - An investor or market analyst tracking how many apps in a category earn the "Built for Shopify" badge over time. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Pages to export. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many records. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxItems": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ahmdshrif/shopify-app-listing-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/3cVMcQHeCiZZZTLpM/builds/twQUaedq7mQNcRl5S/openapi.json
