Zapier App Directory Scraper

Collect a review list from Zapier’s public app directory. Each row contains the app name, its integration-page URL and the description inside that app’s card.

Start with the saved example

The public example shows the saved input and output fields. Run it, then open the resulting dataset to inspect the actual records.

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://zapier.com/apps"
  ],
  "maxResults": 3
}

The September 11 source capture begins with Google Sheets, Gmail and Slack. Their summaries come from the individual cards. The separate navigation list containing NetSuite, Salesforce and other apps is excluded; its text does not become a product description.

Scope and input

The Actor selects individual app cards in the fetched HTML and removes duplicate item links within that page. It does not execute JavaScript, scroll, sign in or follow item pages. A page without accepted cards can return no rows; inspect the final source URL before treating that as a genuine empty directory.

searchUrls supplies the public pages or API responses to request. maxResults caps rows separately for each URL, from 1 to 1,000; the schema default is 10. Two input URLs with a cap of three can produce six rows. There is no automatic pagination, cross-page deduplication or complete-inventory guarantee. Increasing the cap cannot reveal records absent from the response.

Use the item URLs to evaluate current triggers, actions and account requirements manually. This Actor does not extract that compatibility detail, build Zaps, connect accounts or test a workflow. The directory’s marketing description remains a source claim, even when it appears in a structured export.

Dated output example

This record comes from the September 11, 2026 source capture. Future source wording and ordering can change.

{
  "source": "zapier-app-directory-scraper",
  "kind": "integrations",
  "index": 1,
  "title": "Google Sheets",
  "url": "https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations",
  "description": "Create, edit, and share spreadsheets wherever you are with Google Sheets, and get automated insights from your data.",
  "input_url": "https://zapier.com/apps",
  "source_url": "https://zapier.com/apps"
}

Field	Meaning
title	Individual app or library name.
url	Source item URL, or the library’s declared homepage/repository/asset URL.
description	This item’s source summary; null when absent.
source, kind	Existing source and record-type labels.
index	One-based position among accepted rows for this input URL.
input_url, source_url	Requested URL and final response URL after redirects.
company	Optional explicit publisher/company value; missing information must not be inferred.
raw	Original library or structured JSON record when supplied.

Keep JSON when nulls and nested metadata matter. CSV and Excel exports are useful for a manual review. Store the run or dataset ID beside the export to retain its collection time. Compare exact item URL across dated captures, and keep your evaluation notes separate from source descriptions. A missing record in a capped response does not prove removal or loss of support.

Pricing

Charges apply to exported rows plus the existing memory-based Actor start event. Result charges per 1,000 rows are:

Plan	Result charge per 1,000
Free	$3
Bronze	$2.7
Silver	$2.55
Gold	$2.4
Platinum	$2.25
Diamond	$2.1

The Free start rate is $0.00005 per GB with a one-unit minimum; paid plans retain their displayed discounts. The Actor’s unchanged 4,096 MB default uses four start units. The Pricing tab shows current terms. Set a total charge cap for bounded API or Console runs.

Questions and operating notes

Does a listed item prove compatibility or quality? No. The export records directory or registry claims. Evaluate the current item documentation for your intended use.

Can I schedule it? Apify supports Tasks, schedules, webhooks and dataset APIs. Check a small example before adding recurring work; this Actor does not maintain comparison history or send notifications itself.

What happens when a source fails? Failed fetches fail the run while preserving earlier rows. Check the final status and server log before treating a multi-URL dataset as complete. Keep the previous valid snapshot if a refresh fails.

What should I report? Open an Actor issue with the public input, run ID and expected field. Exclude account credentials and private data. Respect the source’s terms and applicable rights when reusing its descriptions.

Why do some navigation app names disappear from the export? The website has navigation links as well as directory cards. This Actor selects the cards, where an app name and its own summary belong together. A navigation link alone cannot supply that summary.

Can I compare descriptions across automation platforms? Yes, as separate source observations. The same Google Sheets name appears in the n8n sample, but its directory description differs. Keep both platform URLs and do not infer equivalent triggers, actions or access requirements from the matching name.

Does this check whether an app requires a paid account? No. Subscription requirements and available operations need evaluation on the current integration and vendor pages. The Actor collects directory summaries without connecting accounts or running a Zap.

What identity should I use for a repeat review? Within this export, use the exact Zapier item URL together with its Actor source. Keep the run ID and collection time alongside it. The software catalog review demonstrates why app names and shared websites are insufficient across different catalogs.

Can I replace an older complete list with this sample? A three-row capture is a sample. It may omit an item because of ordering or a changed cap. Retain older exports until the input scope and source behavior justify a replacement.

The Asana Apps Scraper provides a separate platform directory for comparison. Its app presence and wording remain Asana-specific evidence.
