Google Workspace Marketplace Scraper

Extract public Google Workspace Marketplace app listings for SaaS sales, partnerships, app-store SEO, competitive research, and market intelligence workflows.

What does Google Workspace Marketplace Scraper do?

Google Workspace Marketplace Scraper collects public app listing data from https://workspace.google.com/marketplace. It can scrape the marketplace home page, category pages, search results, and direct marketplace URLs.

The actor saves structured app records including names, descriptions, developers, ratings, review counts, install counts, categories, screenshots, support links, privacy links, and marketplace URLs.

Who is it for?

• 🧭 SaaS sales teams building lead lists of Workspace add-on vendors.
• 🤝 Partnership teams finding integration partners in CRM, productivity, education, and collaboration categories.
• 📈 App-store SEO teams monitoring titles, descriptions, ratings, and install signals.
• 🕵️ Competitive intelligence analysts tracking competitors across Google Workspace Marketplace categories.
• 💼 Investors and market researchers mapping software segments around Google Workspace users.

Why use this actor?

Manual marketplace research is slow. Category pages contain many apps, and search pages are useful for niche discovery. This actor turns those pages into a clean dataset that can be exported, filtered, enriched, and scheduled.

Data you can extract

Field	Description
appId	Google Marketplace app identifier
name	App listing name
shortDescription	Short listing summary
longDescription	Full listing description when enabled
marketplaceUrl	Public Marketplace app URL
developerName	Developer or vendor name
developerWebsite	Vendor website
developerContact	Public contact/address field when shown
ratingAverage	Average star rating
ratingCount	Review/rating count
installsText	Marketplace install label such as 1M+
installs	Numeric install count from the public payload
categoryNames	Marketplace categories
privacyPolicyUrl	Privacy policy URL
supportUrl	Support URL
screenshotUrls	Screenshot image URLs

How much does it cost to scrape Google Workspace Marketplace?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A $0.005 start event is charged once per run, and each saved app listing is charged at the formula-derived benchmark price of about $0.000027 per app listing. You can keep costs low by using maxItems during testing and then raising it for production runs.

Quick start

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Add one or more Marketplace category URLs, search terms, or category slugs.
3. Set maxItems to the number of app listings you need.
4. Run the actor.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect it to your workflow.

Input options

Start URLs

Use startUrls for direct pages such as:

• https://workspace.google.com/marketplace
• https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/category/business-tools
• https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/category/productivity
• https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/search/CRM

Search terms

Use searchTerms to generate Marketplace search pages automatically. Examples:

• CRM
• project management
• calendar booking
• AI assistant

Category slugs

Use categorySlugs when you know the Marketplace category path. Examples:

• business-tools
• productivity
• communication
• education
• utilities

Maximum apps

maxItems limits saved app records across all inputs. Use a small value such as 25 for tests and a larger value for production collection.

Long descriptions

includeLongDescription saves full app descriptions. Disable it if you only need compact rows.

Scheduling

Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly runs to monitor category changes, rating changes, and new entrants. Store each run's dataset or export results to a warehouse for historical analysis.

Data quality notes

The actor reads public Marketplace payloads returned by Google. Some fields may be missing when the Marketplace listing does not expose them. Install counts can be both text labels and numeric values, depending on what Google provides.

Limitations

• The MVP focuses on public app listings, not reviews.
• It does not log in or collect private Workspace data.
• Marketplace pagination can change; the actor extracts listings visible in the returned public page payload.
• Category names are mapped from public menu metadata when available.

Legality and ethical use

This actor collects publicly available marketplace listing data. Always follow Apify terms, Google terms, and applicable laws. Do not use the output for spam or abusive outreach.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get fewer apps than requested?

The selected page may expose fewer public listings than your maxItems value, or duplicate apps may appear across multiple input sources and be saved only once.

Why are some category names empty?

The actor always saves numeric category IDs. Human-readable category names depend on category menu metadata being present in the fetched page.

Can I scrape reviews?

This actor is optimized for listings. Reviews are a separate entity type and should be handled by a dedicated review scraper or a future named dataset.
