Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Chrome Extension Details - Fetch Emails, Phones, Websites and Full Metadata from Any Chrome Extension ![Chrome Extension Details](https://i.imgur.com/nc1vbwt.png) Give it an extension ID or a full Chrome Web Store URL and it returns everything the store knows. Name, version, star rating, user count, full description, manifest JSON, icon URLs, file size, supported languages, last updated date, and full developer contact info including email, phone number, address, and company name. No browser, no HTML scraping. It talks directly to the store's own internal API. ### Use cases - Research competing extensions: compare user counts, ratings, and what permissions they request - Track version bumps and install growth over time for extensions you care about - Audit permissions and host access by inspecting raw manifest JSON - Collect developer emails, phone numbers, and addresses from store listings for outreach - Build a Chrome Web Store dataset for analysis, sales prospecting, or research ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `extensionIds` | array | required | List of Chrome extension IDs or full Chrome Web Store URLs. Accepts bare IDs (e.g. `gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo`) or full store URLs. | | `maxItems` | integer | 1000 | Maximum number of extensions to fetch per run. | | `timeoutSecs` | integer | 300 | Maximum total run time in seconds. | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | integer | 30 | Maximum time to wait for a single API request. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Datacenter (Anywhere) | Proxy type and location to use for requests. Supports Datacenter, Residential, Special, and custom proxies. Optional. | #### Example input ```json { "extensionIds": [ "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/merciapp-ai-writing-assis/gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo", "majdfhpaihoncoakbjgbdhglocklcgno", "bdlffpdkioakgjjpmgpboogfiaegbpgp", "oeopbcgkkoapgobdbedcemjljbihmemj" ], "maxItems": 1000, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` ### What data does this actor extract? One record per extension: ```json { "extensionId": "gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo", "name": "MerciApp - AI Writing Assistant", "version": "3.93.1", "summary": "Write better, faster, wherever you work.", "extensionDescription": "MerciApp helps you correct, rephrase...", "rating": 4.52, "ratingCount": 134, "userCount": 80000, "websiteUrl": "merci-app.com", "storeUrl": "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo", "iconUrl": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/...", "smallIconUrl": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/...", "isFeatured": true, "fileSize": "4.2MiB", "languages": ["English", "franΓ§ais"], "lastUpdated": "2026-05-04T15:12:53+00:00", "manifest": { "manifest_version": 3, "name": "__MSG_extensionName__", "version": "3.93.1", "permissions": ["activeTab", "storage", "scripting"] }, "developerEmail": "contact@merci-app.com", "developerPhone": "+33679280681", "developerCompany": "MerciApp", "developerContact": "ARTHUR OLLIER", "developerAddress": "295 Bd Saint-Denis\nCourbevoie 92400\nFR", "supportUrl": "https://www.merci-app.com" } ``` ![Sample output table](https://i.imgur.com/Xr3hEm4.png) | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `extensionId` | string | The bare extension ID. | | `name` | string | Full display name from the store listing. | | `version` | string | Current published version number. | | `summary` | string | Short one-line tagline from the listing. | | `extensionDescription` | string | Full long-form description from the store listing. | | `rating` | number | Average star rating (1.0 to 5.0). | | `ratingCount` | integer | Number of user ratings. | | `userCount` | integer | Approximate number of active installs. | | `websiteUrl` | string | Developer website URL from the listing. | | `storeUrl` | string | Direct link to the extension's Chrome Web Store page. | | `iconUrl` | string | URL of the extension's large icon. | | `smallIconUrl` | string | URL of the promotional banner image. | | `isFeatured` | boolean | Whether Google has marked this extension as featured. | | `fileSize` | string | Installed file size (e.g. "4.2MiB"). | | `languages` | array | Languages the extension supports. | | `lastUpdated` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of the most recent update. | | `manifest` | object | Parsed manifest.json from the extension package. | | `developerEmail` | string | Developer or support email from the store listing. | | `developerPhone` | string | Phone number listed by the developer. | | `developerCompany` | string | Company or publisher name. | | `developerContact` | string | Individual developer or contact person name. | | `developerAddress` | string | Physical address of the developer or company. | | `supportUrl` | string | Support or privacy policy URL. | ### FAQ **Can I pass full Chrome Web Store URLs instead of bare extension IDs?** Yes. Full URLs like `https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/merciapp-ai-writing-assis/gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo` and bare IDs like `gccahjgcckaemgpliioopngfgdaceffo` both work. **Does this actor scrape the page or call an API?** It calls the store's internal batchexecute API. Faster than page scraping and returns clean structured data, including the raw manifest JSON. **What happens if an extension ID is invalid or not found?** It logs the error and keeps going. The failed ID shows up in the dataset with an `errorMessage` field instead of extension data. **How many extensions can I run at once?** The default cap is 1000 per run. For larger lists, batch them using Apify's scheduling. **Does the manifest field have the full manifest?** Yes. The complete parsed manifest.json including permissions, content scripts, background workers, and host permissions. ### You might also find these useful - [Realtor Properties Contact Email](https://apify.com/b2b_lead_generation/realtor-properties-contact-email) - extract contact info and emails from Realtor.com property listings - [LoopNet Agents Email](https://apify.com/b2b_lead_generation/loopnet-agents-email) - extract agent emails and contact details from LoopNet commercial real estate listings ### Integrations Connect with other tools using [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations).
