FAQ
How often should I run this? Daily runs give the best trend data. Use Apify Scheduler to automate it.
How do I detect rank changes?
Compare rankInCategory for the same slug across runs using the scrapedAt timestamp. A rank going from 5 to 2 means the app moved up 3 positions.
Do I need a Zapier account? No. This actor fetches public data from zapier.com with no authentication required.
What does partnerTier mean?
Zapier assigns PLATINUM, GOLD, SILVER, or BRONZE tiers to partner apps based on their integration quality and user adoption. Higher tiers generally appear higher in rankings.
What is isPremium?
Apps marked premium require a paid Zapier subscription to use in automations. Filter with includePremiumOnly: true to focus exclusively on premium apps.
How are apps ranked within a category? Zapier orders apps by a combination of popularity, partner tier, and editorial curation. The exact algorithm is not public, making trend tracking valuable for competitive intelligence.
