Shopify AppStore Scraper

This Actor collects public Shopify App Store app details, reviews, developer profiles, category listings, and keyword search results into an Apify dataset. No separate scraper API key or external subscription is required. This is an independent scraper and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Shopify.

Pricing and support

Check this Actor's Pricing section in Apify Store for current charges and whether platform usage is included or billed separately. No payment outside Apify is required to use this Actor. Pricing fields in the scraped data describe Shopify apps, not the cost of running this Actor.

For questions or problems, use the Issues tab on this Actor's Apify page. Include the run ID and relevant input, without credentials or other sensitive information.

Data limitations

Results reflect publicly available pages at the time of collection. Rankings, ratings, review counts, and app pricing may change. Page limits restrict how much data is collected; source availability, rate limits, or page changes can cause incomplete results. Check the run logs and stats record for failures. Examples below illustrate the output structure and are not current app metrics.

Source URLs, image URLs, and developer websites in results are collected data, not recommendations to purchase or subscribe to external services.
