AppSumo Scraper

AppSumo Scraper creates a structured dataset of software deal records collected from appsumo.com. Each dataset item represents one product deal and can include the name, listing URL, price, original price, rating, review count, category, deal type, plan types, and company details, with optional listing details, founder profiles, and paginated reviews. Query the source using a catalog source, category, keyword search, or a direct AppSumo URL, control the result limit with maxItems, and retrieve records through the Apify Dataset API or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Coverage and available records

The Actor returns AppSumo deals from the current catalog, new arrivals, Radar, categories, keyword searches, or direct URLs. Supported coverage includes:

• Catalog sources: current (active deals), newArrivals (New Arrivals collection), and radar (AppSumo Radar).
• Category groups (marketing, operations, build-code, media-design, sales-leads, customer-engagement) with optional subcategory slugs.
• Keyword search filtering.
• Direct product, category, new-arrivals, Radar, or browse URLs via startUrls.
• Optional listing details (plans, FAQs, company info, overview) when scrapeListingDetails is enabled.
• Optional founder profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter/X, bio, website) when includeFounderDetails is enabled.
• Optional paginated customer reviews when scrapeReviews is enabled, capped by maxReviews.

Plans, FAQs, company info, and the full overview appear only when scrapeListingDetails is enabled; founder profiles appear only when includeFounderDetails is enabled.

Retrieve the data through the API

1. Start the Actor with a JSON input containing sources, category, keywords, or start URLs.
2. Wait for the run to finish, or use the synchronous run endpoint.
3. Retrieve items from the run's default dataset via the Dataset API.
4. Paginate the dataset or export it in the required format.

The Apify Console generates ready-to-run code for Python, JavaScript, and other languages in the Actor's API tab; see that tab for the current endpoint and authentication details. Never place a real API token in a URL or example.

Data quality and record handling

• plans, faqs, companySize, headquarters, overviewHtml, and founders are conditional on the enabled toggles and on what AppSumo publishes.
• price and originalPrice are numeric USD values; averageRating is on a 0–5 scale.
• Within a run, products are deduplicated by id. Across runs, key on id.
• A product that fails to fetch is still written with listing-level fields; the Actor fails soft so one blocked product does not stop the run.
• Enable Apify Residential proxies (the default) and keep detailConcurrency modest to reduce blocks.

Export and pipeline examples

Destination	Recommended method	Typical use
PostgreSQL/Supabase	Dataset API or webhook consumer	Store deal records keyed on id
Google Sheets	Apify integration	Shareable deal-tracking sheet
S3/cloud storage	Scheduled export or integration	Periodic deal archive

Pricing and cost examples

Billing is pay-per-event. Each product written to the dataset is one dataset-item charge ($1.50 per 1,000); enabling listing details adds a listing-details charge, and enabling reviews adds a reviews charge, each $1.00 per 1,000. apify-actor-start is a small one-time per-run charge.

Records	Estimated base cost
1,000 products	$1.50
10,000 products	$15.00

Estimates assume the published pay-per-event model and do not include Apify platform usage; Apify subscription plan discounts may reduce the per-event rate. Enabling listing details or reviews increases cost per product.

Limitations and responsible data use

• Only publicly accessible AppSumo listings are returned; plans, FAQs, and founder data require the corresponding toggles.
• Deal availability, pricing, and ratings reflect AppSumo at run time and change over time.
• Extraction depends on AppSumo's current availability and site structure, which can change without notice.
• No historical snapshots are stored unless the user archives dataset exports.
• Users are responsible for compliance with applicable terms of service and privacy obligations.

Dataset questions

What does one dataset item represent?

One dataset item is a single AppSumo software deal (product), identified by id.

Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

Use id; it is unique per product and stable across runs.

Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. plans, faqs, overviewHtml, founders, and reviews are conditional on the enabled toggles; price and averageRating may be absent where AppSumo does not publish them.

Can I retrieve the records as CSV or JSON?

Yes. The dataset can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Apify Console or Dataset API.

How do I paginate large datasets?

Raise maxItems (set 0 for unlimited) to collect more records in a single run, then paginate via the Dataset API.

What counts as a billable result?

Each product record written to the dataset is one dataset-item charge; enabling listing details or reviews adds one charge per enriched product at the corresponding rate.
