FAQ

Do I need a GitHub API token to use this? No. The scraper accesses publicly available GitHub Marketplace pages without requiring any authentication or API keys.

What's the difference between apps and actions? GitHub Marketplace hosts two types of tools: apps (integrations that connect to your repositories and organizations) and actions (reusable workflow steps for GitHub Actions pipelines). Use searchApps for apps/integrations and searchActions for workflow actions.

Can I filter apps by price? Yes. Use the planType filter to show only free apps, paid apps, or apps with free trials available.

How many results can I get? The maxItems field supports up to 1,000 listings per run. GitHub Marketplace paginates results, so the scraper automatically fetches multiple pages as needed.

Can I scrape a specific app's details? Yes. Use mode=bySlug and provide the listing slug (the part after /marketplace/ in the URL). For example, dependabot for https://github.com/marketplace/dependabot.

What data is available for each listing? The scraper extracts all publicly visible metadata: name, description, pricing, categories, publisher information, installation count, ratings, and verification status.

Why might some fields be missing? The scraper only outputs fields that contain actual data. If a listing doesn't have a rating, installation count, or certain pricing details, those fields are omitted rather than returned as null.

How do I find the right category slug? Category slugs match the URL parameters on GitHub Marketplace. For example, browsing https://github.com/marketplace?type=apps&category=security corresponds to the security category.
