Splunkbase Scraper

Scrape Splunkbase — Splunk's official app and add-on marketplace. Search apps by query or category, or fetch specific apps by ID. Returns title, description, download count, version, author, categories, compatible Splunk versions, license info, compliance flags, and more.

What this actor does

• Two modes: search (browse/filter by query + category) and getById (lookup by app ID)
• Search filters: free-text query, category filter (25 categories)
• Enriched metadata: per-app detail and release history fetched automatically
• Real data: download counts, version, compatible Splunk versions, compliance flags (FedRAMP, FIPS), cloud compatibility
• Empty fields omitted — no nulls in output

FAQ

Does this require a Splunk account? No. Splunkbase's public REST API (/api/v1/app/) is accessible without authentication for public apps.

Does it use proxies? No proxies are needed. The Splunkbase API returns JSON from standard datacenter IPs.

What's the difference between app and addon? Splunk "apps" are full applications with dashboards and UI. "Add-ons" are technology add-ons (TAs) that provide data inputs and field extractions without a standalone UI.

How do I find an app's ID? Look at the Splunkbase URL: splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1876/ — the number is the ID.

How many apps can I scrape? Splunkbase has 3,000+ apps. Set maxItems up to 10,000 for a full crawl.

Are rating/review fields included? The API returns rating data when available. Many apps have no reviews, so these fields are omitted when empty.
