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 ## Atlassian Marketplace Category Monitor Monitor which apps dominate every category on the Atlassian Marketplace. This scraper lists all apps within a chosen category ranked by install count (the default API sort order) — ideal for competitive analysis, category benchmarking, and tracking rank changes over time. ### What it does - Browses any of the 37 Atlassian Marketplace categories - Returns apps sorted by install count with a `rankInCategory` position field - Filters by hosting type (Cloud, Server, Data Center, or All) - Optionally filters by minimum average rating - Extracts name, vendor, tagline, rating, review count, install count, pricing model, categories, addon URL, and logo ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `category` | Select | Yes | `Project management` | Atlassian Marketplace category to browse | | `hosting` | Select | No | `cloud` | Hosting filter: `cloud`, `server`, `datacenter`, or `all` | | `maxItems` | Integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of addons to return (1–500) | | `minRating` | Float | No | — | Only include addons rated at or above this value (0.0–5.0) | #### Available categories Admin tools, Blueprints, Build management, Charts & diagramming, Code quality, Code review, Continuous integration, CRM, Custom fields, Dashboard gadgets, Dependency management, Deployments, Design tools, Document management, Documentation, Email, IDE, Integrations, IT & helpdesk, Language packs, Macros, Messaging, Mobile, Monitoring, Project management, Reports, Repository connectors, Repository hooks, Security, Shared workflows, Source code, Tasks, Testing & QA, Themes & styles, Time tracking, Utilities, Workflow #### Example input ```json { "category": "Project management", "hosting": "cloud", "maxItems": 50 } ```` ### Output Each record represents one Atlassian Marketplace addon. Example record: ```json { "rankInCategory": 1, "addonKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira", "name": "Jira Software", "tagLine": "Plan, track, and release great software", "vendorName": "Atlassian", "categories": ["Project management", "Agile"], "rating": 3.85, "reviewCount": 1200, "installCount": 85000, "pricingModel": "Paid", "hosting": ["cloud"], "addonUrl": "https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211580/jira-software", "logoUrl": "https://marketplace.atlassian.com/product-listing/files/abc123.png", "status": "public", "lastUpdated": "2026-05-14T00:00:00.000+00:00", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-20T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` #### Output fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `rankInCategory` | Integer | 1-based rank by install count within the category | | `addonKey` | String | Unique addon identifier (e.g., `com.vendor.addon`) | | `name` | String | Display name of the addon | | `tagLine` | String | Short marketing tagline | | `summary` | String | Longer description | | `vendorName` | String | Name of the vendor/publisher | | `categories` | Array | All categories this addon belongs to | | `rating` | Float | Average star rating (1.0–5.0) | | `reviewCount` | Integer | Number of reviews | | `installCount` | Integer | Total install count | | `pricingModel` | String | `Free` or `Paid` | | `hosting` | Array | Hosting types: `cloud`, `server`, `datacenter` | | `addonUrl` | String | URL to the addon's Marketplace page | | `logoUrl` | String | URL to the addon's logo image | | `status` | String | Addon status (e.g., `public`) | | `lastUpdated` | String | ISO-8601 timestamp of last modification | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO-8601 timestamp when data was scraped | ### Use cases - **Competitive analysis**: See which apps rank at the top of any category - **Market research**: Track install counts and ratings across all Project Management or Workflow tools - **Trend monitoring**: Run on a schedule to detect rank changes over time - **Vendor benchmarking**: Compare your app's position against competitors in the same category ### 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. ### Data source Data is fetched from the public [Atlassian Marketplace REST API v2](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/docs/). No authentication, cookies, or proxy is required. # Actor input Schema ## `category` (type: `string`): Atlassian Marketplace category to browse. ## `hosting` (type: `string`): Filter by hosting type.
