FAQ

Do I need an Adobe account or API key? No. The scraper uses the same public API that powers the Adobe Exchange website. No credentials required.

What is the difference between EC and CC extensions? EC (Experience Cloud) extensions are integrations for Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento), Experience Manager, and other enterprise products. CC (Creative Cloud) extensions are plugins and panels for desktop apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro.

Can I search Creative Cloud plugins by keyword? Yes — set appType to CC and provide a query. However, the CC search endpoint returns fewer results than EC search. For broader CC coverage, use mode=browse to get the featured plugin list.

How many extensions can I scrape? The maxItems parameter supports up to 10,000 items. Adobe Exchange typically has thousands of EC extensions available.

How do I find a specific extension by ID? Set mode to getById and provide the extension ID in the ids field. IDs can be numeric (e.g., 109051) or alphanumeric (e.g., ab4uu4uvot). You can find IDs in the extension URL: exchange.adobe.com/apps/ec/{id}.

Are prices included in the output? Adobe Exchange does not expose pricing data via its API. Pricing information is only shown on the extension detail pages for some extensions and is not returned by the API.

Can I filter by Adobe product (e.g., only Photoshop plugins)? Currently, direct product filtering is available for browse mode (CC featured). For search mode, including the product name in the query (e.g., "photoshop panel") is the most effective approach.
