FAQ

How often does the ranking change? Rankings reflect the live Atlassian Marketplace API which updates frequently. Run this scraper on a schedule to capture ranking changes over time.

Why does pricingModel sometimes not appear? Pricing information requires an additional API call per addon to fetch the version details. It is populated for all addons; if missing, the addon has no published versions yet.

What does rankInCategory represent? It is the 1-based position of the addon in the category as returned by the Atlassian Marketplace API, which sorts by total install count (most-installed first).

Can I get data for multiple categories in one run? Run separate instances for each category you want to monitor.

What is the difference between server and datacenter hosting? server refers to self-hosted Jira/Confluence Server instances. datacenter refers to the Atlassian Data Center tier. cloud is the Atlassian-hosted SaaS offering.

Are free-plan-only results possible? Yes — set minRating: 0.0 and leave pricingModel unset. Use the hosting: "cloud" default for the most accurate free-tier results.
