## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## JetBrains Marketplace Plugins Scraper

Scrape plugin data from the [JetBrains Marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com) — the official store for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, and all JetBrains IDEs. No authentication required.

### Features

- **Search by keyword** — find plugins matching any query (e.g. "python", "git", "AI assistant")
- **Browse by tag** — list plugins under a specific tag (AI, Testing, VCS, etc.)
- **Fetch by plugin ID** — retrieve one or more specific plugins by their numeric ID
- **Pricing filter** — filter by Free, Freemium, or Paid plugins
- **Rich output** — downloads, rating, vendor details, tags, icon URL, source code URL, and more

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `mode` | select | `search` (default), `byTag`, or `byPluginId` |
| `searchQuery` | string | Keyword to search (mode=search) |
| `tagId` | integer | Tag ID to browse (mode=byTag). Use the [tags page](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/tag/) to find IDs |
| `pluginIds` | array | List of numeric plugin IDs (mode=byPluginId) |
| `pricingModel` | select | Filter: `ALL`, `FREE`, `FREEMIUM`, or `PAID` |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max plugins to return (1–1000, default 20) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Optional Apify proxy |

#### Example Input — Search

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "python",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "pricingModel": "ALL"
}
````

#### Example Input — Browse by Tag

```json
{
  "mode": "byTag",
  "tagId": 286,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

*(Tag 286 = "AI")*

#### Example Input — Fetch by Plugin ID

```json
{
  "mode": "byPluginId",
  "pluginIds": [6954, 164, 631]
}
```

### Output

Each item in the dataset contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `pluginId` | integer | Numeric plugin ID |
| `name` | string | Plugin name |
| `xmlId` | string | Package/XML plugin identifier |
| `description` | string | Full description (HTML) |
| `preview` | string | Short text preview |
| `vendor` | string | Vendor/author name |
| `vendorUrl` | string | Vendor website |
| `downloads` | integer | Total download count |
| `rating` | number | Average rating (0–5) |
| `pricingModel` | string | `FREE`, `FREEMIUM`, or `PAID` |
| `tags` | array | List of tag names |
| `iconUrl` | string | Plugin icon URL |
| `url` | string | Plugin marketplace URL |
| `updatedDate` | string | Last update date (ISO) |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Scrape timestamp |

#### Example Output

```json
{
  "pluginId": 6954,
  "name": "Kotlin",
  "xmlId": "org.jetbrains.kotlin",
  "vendor": "JetBrains",
  "downloads": 36991445,
  "pricingModel": "FREE",
  "tags": ["Programming Language"],
  "url": "https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6954",
  "scrapedAt": "2024-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"
}
```

### FAQs

**Does this require authentication?**
No. The JetBrains Marketplace has a public REST API that requires no API key or login.

**Which IDEs does this cover?**
All JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, Rider, Android Studio, etc.) — they all share the same plugin marketplace.

**How do I find tag IDs?**
Browse [plugins.jetbrains.com/tags](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/tags) and note the ID in the URL (e.g. `/tag/286-ai` = tag ID 286).

**What is the data rate limit?**
The public API is rate-limited per IP. For large scrapes (500+), enable Apify proxy to rotate IPs.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "mode": "search",
    "searchQuery": "python",
    "tagId": 286,
    "category": "VCS",
    "pluginIds": [

const run = await client.actor("crawlerbros/jetbrains-marketplace-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
