Shopify App Store Scraper - Apps, Pricing & Developers

Scrape apps from the Shopify App Store (apps.shopify.com): app name, rating, review count, rating breakdown, pricing plans, developer name, address and support email, categories, languages, integrations, launch date, and screenshots. For merchant reviews, use the companion Shopify App Reviews scraper. Search by keyword, paste a search, category, developer or app URL, press Start, and export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call the scraper as an API.

Target website: apps.shopify.com

✨ Features of this Shopify App Store scraper

• Shopify app data extraction: name, tagline, description, key features, rating, reviews count, 1-5 star breakdown, price text, free plan and free trial days, every pricing plan with its price and features, developer details, resource links, categories, languages, "works with" integrations, launch date, Built for Shopify badge, screenshots and demo store.
• Reviews live in a separate actor: the Shopify App Reviews scraper returns one row per merchant review and accepts the app URLs from this actor's dataset (see the enrichment section below).
• Keyword, category and developer filtering: search the App Store by keyword, or scrape any category, subcategory or developer page.
• Pagination support: follows search and category pages until your item limit is reached.
• Sponsored results: paid (Ad) results are skipped by default, or kept and flagged with isAd.
• Monitoring cache: a cache project name skips apps you already scraped, so scheduled runs return only new ones.
• Proxy support: works without a proxy; Apify Proxy can be switched on if you need it.
• No browser required: the scraper reads pages over plain HTTP, which makes runs fast and cheap.

🧩 How to enrich Shopify apps with their reviews (Shopify App Reviews scraper)

This actor returns one row per app. When you also need the merchant reviews of those apps, use the dedicated Shopify App Reviews scraper. It returns one row per review and accepts the app URLs from this actor's dataset.

No code (Apify Console):

1. Run this actor for your keyword, category or developer. Open the run's Output tab.
2. Export the dataset as CSV or Excel with only the url column (one app URL per row), or copy the url values.
3. Open the Shopify App Reviews scraper, click Bulk edit (or Text file) under Shopify app or reviews URLs and paste the URLs.
4. Set Max reviews per app, optionally filter by stars or date, and click Start.
5. Join the two datasets on handle (this actor) = appHandle (reviews scraper).

With code (Python):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

apps = client.dataset("<APPS_DATASET_ID>").list_items(fields=["handle", "url"]).items

run = client.actor("confidential_gnat/shopify-app-reviews-scraper").call(run_input={
    "startUrls": [{"url": app["url"]} for app in apps],
    "maxItems": 50,
})

reviews_by_app = {}
for review in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    reviews_by_app.setdefault(review["appHandle"], []).append(review)

for app in apps:
    app["reviews"] = reviews_by_app.get(app["handle"], [])

Each review row has reviewId, rating, postedAt, body, storeName, storeCountry, usageDuration, developerReply, plus appHandle, appName and appUrl for the join.

🐍 How to scrape the Shopify App Store with Python, JavaScript or the API

Run the actor programmatically with the official Apify clients. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token from your Apify Console.

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("confidential_gnat/shopify-app-store-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": ["reviews"],
    "maxItems": 20,
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('confidential_gnat/shopify-app-store-scraper').call({
    keywords: ['reviews'],
    maxItems: 20,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL — start a run and wait for the dataset:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/confidential_gnat~shopify-app-store-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["reviews"], "maxItems": 20}'

💡 What you can use Shopify App Store data for

• Competitor research: compare ratings, review counts, pricing plans and features of every app in a category.
• Lead generation: build lists of Shopify app developers with their support email, address and website links.
• Review monitoring: pair the app list with the Shopify App Reviews scraper to track new merchant reviews and developer replies for your app or your competitors' apps.
• Pricing intelligence: follow plan prices, free plans and free trial lengths across a niche.
• Market sizing: find gaps in categories with few highly rated apps, and spot newly launched apps.

Shopify app developers, SaaS founders, agencies, investors and e-commerce analysts use this data for product strategy, sales prospecting and market research.

⚠️ Limitations & known issues

• Rate limiting — The App Store briefly answers bursts with "too many requests". The scraper waits and retries automatically; keep concurrency around 5 for large runs.
• Top-level category pages — Pages like /categories/marketing-and-conversion show one fixed page of featured apps (about 40). Use a subcategory /all URL for the full, paginated list.
• Free apps — Apps that are simply "Free" have no pricing plan cards, so pricingPlans is empty.
• No reviews here — this actor returns apps only. Merchant reviews come from the Shopify App Reviews scraper, which takes this actor's app URLs.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape the Shopify App Store legally?

This actor only collects data that is publicly visible on apps.shopify.com, without any login. Scraping publicly available data is generally considered lawful (see hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), but you are responsible for complying with Shopify's Terms of Service and laws such as GDPR or CCPA, for example when you store reviewer store names or developer emails.

What data does the Shopify App Store scraper return?

Every app comes with name, rating, reviews count and price text. With "Scrape full app details" on (default) you also get pricing plans, developer contact, categories, languages, integrations, launch date, screenshots and the rating breakdown. Merchant reviews come from the Shopify App Reviews scraper.

How many apps can I scrape from one search?

maxItems limits the apps saved for each keyword, search URL, category URL or developer URL. Search and category pages show 24-28 apps per page, and the scraper keeps paging until the limit or the last page.

Do I need a proxy to scrape apps.shopify.com?

No. The proxy is off by default and the site works without one. If you run very large jobs and see repeated rate limiting, lower the concurrency or switch on an Apify datacenter proxy.

How do I scrape the Shopify App Store with Python?

Use the Python example above: call the actor with your input, then iterate over the items of the run's default dataset.

Can I run this Shopify App Store scraper on a schedule?

Yes, with Apify Schedules. Set a cache project name and use the same one on every run: apps already scraped are skipped, not charged and do not count towards Max apps per search, so each run returns only new apps.

What output formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, either from the Output tab or through the Apify API.

Why are some sponsored apps missing from my search results?

Search and category pages mix paid (Ad) results into the list. They are skipped by default so positions match organic ranking; switch on "Include sponsored results" to keep them with isAd: true.
