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 ## BigCommerce App Marketplace Scraper Scrape app data from the [BigCommerce App Marketplace](https://www.bigcommerce.com/apps) — the official store for BigCommerce platform integrations. No authentication required. ### Features - **Search by keyword** — find apps matching any query (e.g. "analytics", "shipping", "email") - **Browse by category** — list apps in a specific category (Analytics, Marketing, Payments, etc.) - **Fetch by App ID** — retrieve one or more specific apps by their unique identifier - **Rich output** — ratings, reviews, vendor details, categories, pricing, screenshots, and more ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | select | `search` (default), `byCategory`, or `byAppId` | | `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to search (mode=search) | | `category` | select | Category slug to browse (mode=byCategory) | | `appIds` | array | List of app IDs (mode=byAppId) | | `maxItems` | integer | Max apps to return (1–500, default 20) | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Optional Apify proxy | #### Example Input — Search ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "analytics", "maxItems": 20 } ```` #### Example Input — Browse by Category ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "analytics-reporting", "maxItems": 50 } ``` #### Example Input — Fetch by App ID ```json { "mode": "byAppId", "appIds": ["google-analytics", "klaviyo"] } ``` ### Output Each item in the dataset contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `appId` | string | BigCommerce app identifier | | `name` | string | App name | | `tagline` | string | Short app tagline | | `description` | string | Full description | | `vendor` | string | Vendor/developer name | | `vendorUrl` | string | Vendor website | | `categories` | array | List of category names | | `pricing` | string | Pricing model (Free, Paid, etc.) | | `pricingDetails` | string | Detailed pricing info | | `rating` | number | Average rating (0–5) | | `reviewCount` | integer | Total review count | | `iconUrl` | string | App icon URL | | `screenshotUrls` | array | App screenshot URLs | | `url` | string | App marketplace page URL | | `recordType` | string | Always `"app"` | | `scrapedAt` | string | Scrape timestamp (ISO 8601) | #### Example Output ```json { "appId": "google-analytics", "name": "Google Analytics", "vendor": "BigCommerce", "categories": ["Analytics & Reporting"], "pricing": "Free", "rating": 4.5, "reviewCount": 312, "url": "https://www.bigcommerce.com/apps/google-analytics", "recordType": "app", "scrapedAt": "2024-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQs **Does this require authentication?** No. The BigCommerce App Marketplace uses a public Algolia search index that requires no login. **What categories are available?** Accounting & Tax, AI, Analytics & Reporting, B2B & Wholesale, Catalog & Order Management, Checkout, CMS & Hosting, CRM & Customer Service, Data Transfer & Migration, ERP, Financing, Marketing, Merchandising, Mobile, Payments & Security, POS & In-Store, Product & Shipping Protection, Product Sourcing & Home, Sales Channels, Shipping & Fulfillment, Site Tools. **How do I find an app's ID?** Visit the app's marketplace page; the URL slug is the app ID (e.g. `/apps/google-analytics` → ID is `google-analytics`). **What is the data rate limit?** The public Algolia index is rate-limited per IP. For large scrapes (200+), enable Apify proxy to rotate IPs. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose how to find apps: search by keyword, browse by category, or fetch specific apps by ID. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword to search for apps (used when mode=search). ## `category` (type: `string`): App category to browse (used when mode=byCategory).
