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 ## CodeCanyon Item Scraper Extract script, plugin, and code item data from CodeCanyon (Envato Market) — prices, sales counts, ratings, author info, tags, compatibility details, and more. ### What You Can Scrape - **Search results** — find items by keyword across all or specific categories - **Category browsing** — browse PHP Scripts, WordPress, JavaScript, eCommerce, Mobile, and more - **Top sellers** — most popular selling items in any category - **New releases** — newest items added to any category - **Individual items** — enrich specific CodeCanyon item URLs with full details - **Pricing** — current item price in USD - **Sales & ratings** — total sales count, star rating, number of reviews - **Author info** — author name, profile URL, total lifetime sales - **Metadata** — tags, last update date, publish date, compatible software versions, file type, file size - **Preview availability** — whether a live demo is available ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | Select | `search` | `search` — keyword search; `byCategory` — browse a category; `topSellers` — popular items; `newReleases` — newest items; `byItemUrls` — scrape specific URLs | | `searchQuery` | Text | `wordpress plugin` | Keywords to search (used in search mode) | | `category` | Select | `php` | Category: PHP Scripts, WordPress, JavaScript, CSS & Design, HTML Templates, Mobile, Plugins, Forms, eCommerce, Social Networking, Utilities, Components & Libraries, Miscellaneous | | `sortBy` | Select | `sales` | Sort order: Best Sellers, Top Rated, Newest First, Price Lowest, Price Highest, Relevance | | `minPrice` | Integer | — | Minimum item price in USD | | `maxPrice` | Integer | — | Maximum item price in USD | | `startUrls` | List | — | CodeCanyon item URLs for `byItemUrls` mode | | `maxItems` | Integer | `50` | Maximum number of items to return (1–5000) | ### Output Each record in the dataset contains: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `itemId` | String | CodeCanyon item ID | | `title` | String | Item title | | `url` | String | Full CodeCanyon item URL | | `thumbnailUrl` | String | Item thumbnail image URL | | `previewUrl` | String | Live preview URL (if available) | | `price` | Float | Item price in USD | | `salesCount` | Integer | Total number of sales | | `rating` | Float | Average star rating (0–5) | | `ratingCount` | Integer | Number of ratings/reviews | | `author` | String | Author username | | `authorUrl` | String | Author profile URL | | `authorSales` | Integer | Author's total lifetime sales | | `category` | String | Item category | | `tags` | List | Item tags | | `description` | String | Short item description | | `lastUpdate` | String | Date of last update | | `publishDate` | String | Date item was published | | `compatibleWith` | List | Compatible software (e.g., "PHP 7.4+", "MySQL 5.6+") | | `fileType` | String | File type (e.g., "PHP", "JavaScript") | | `fileSize` | String | Download file size | | `hasLiveDemo` | Boolean | Whether a live preview is available | | `recordType` | String | Always `"codeCanyon Item"` | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO 8601 timestamp when scraped | ### Example Output ```json { "itemId": "812145", "title": "Slider Revolution Responsive WordPress Plugin", "url": "https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution/812145", "thumbnailUrl": "https://i.envato.com/images/slider-thumb.jpg", "previewUrl": "https://slider-revolution.net/", "price": 29.0, "salesCount": 890000, "rating": 4.52, "ratingCount": 12500, "author": "ThemePunch", "authorUrl": "https://codecanyon.net/user/themepunch", "authorSales": 1200000, "category": "WordPress", "tags": ["slider", "wordpress", "responsive", "jquery"], "description": "Slider Revolution is an innovative, responsive WordPress Slider Plugin.", "lastUpdate": "2024-01-15", "publishDate": "2012-06-21", "compatibleWith": ["WordPress 5.0+", "PHP 7.2+"], "fileType": "PHP", "fileSize": "18 MB", "hasLiveDemo": true, "recordType": "codeCanyon Item", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-15T10:30:00+00:00" } ```` ### FAQ **Q: What categories can I search?** A: CodeCanyon covers PHP Scripts, WordPress plugins/themes, JavaScript, CSS & Design, HTML Templates, Mobile apps, Plugins/Extensions, Forms, eCommerce, Social Networking, Utilities, Components & Libraries, and Miscellaneous. **Q: What's the difference between topSellers and byCategory?** A: `topSellers` returns the all-time bestselling items in a category sorted by total sales. `byCategory` lets you browse a category with your chosen sort order (e.g., newest, highest rated, price). **Q: Can I search for free items?** A: Set `maxPrice` to `0` to find free items. Note that CodeCanyon has very few free items — most are paid. **Q: How many items can I scrape?** A: Up to 5,000 items per run using `maxItems`. CodeCanyon paginates at ~15 items per page. **Q: Can I scrape a specific item I found on CodeCanyon?** A: Yes, set `mode` to `byItemUrls` and add the item URLs (like `https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution/812145`) to `startUrls`. **Q: How reliable are the sales counts?** A: Sales counts are scraped from the item listings as shown publicly on CodeCanyon. Very high numbers (like 800,000+) are rounded/abbreviated on the site; the scraper extracts the displayed value. **Q: What data is available on category pages vs. search results?** A: Search results, category pages, top sellers, and new releases all return similar card-level data (title, price, sales, rating, author). Individual item pages (`byItemUrls`) provide additional detail like compatible software, file size, tags, and live preview links. **Q: Does the scraper require authentication?** A: No. All scraped data is publicly visible on CodeCanyon without login. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape: search by keyword, browse a category, get top sellers, new releases, or enrich specific item URLs. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Keyword(s) to search for (used in search mode).
