Zapier Apps Scraper

Zapier Apps Scraper creates a structured dataset of app records collected from zapier.com. Each dataset item represents one app in the Zapier directory and can include the name, slug, website, description, premium and beta flags, partner tier, categories, and logo, with optional triggers, actions, searches, paired integrations, alternatives, and Zap templates. Query the source using a category, subcategory, app slug, sort filter, or a direct Zapier 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 apps from Zapier's public directory. Supported coverage includes:

• Main directory categories (for example marketing, productivity, artificial-intelligence, or all).
• Optional child subcategories (for example ads-conversion, ai-agents, spreadsheets).
• Direct app slugs via appIds (for example google-sheets, slack, gmail).
• Sort filters: popularity (default), premium, beta, and recentlyLaunched.
• Direct directory, category, or app-integration URLs via startUrls.
• Optional app-profile enrichment (extractAppDetails) for triggers, actions, searches, paired integrations, alternatives, and Zap templates.

Triggers, actions, searches, integrations, alternatives, Zap templates, and FAQs appear only when extractAppDetails is enabled. If no input is set, the Actor scrapes all apps in the directory.

Retrieve the data through the API

1. Start the Actor with a JSON input containing a category, subcategory, app slugs, 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

• triggers, actions, searches, integrations, alternatives, zapTemplates, howItWorks, and faqs are present only when extractAppDetails is enabled.
• isPremium, isBeta, and isUpcoming reflect the directory flags at run time.
• Within a run, apps are deduplicated by slug. Across runs, key on slug.
• A single app that fails to fetch is skipped or written with listing-level fields; the Actor fails soft.
• 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 app records keyed on slug
Google Sheets	Apify integration	Shareable integration catalog
S3/cloud storage	Scheduled export or integration	Periodic directory archive

Pricing and cost examples

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

Records	Estimated base cost
1,000 apps	$1.50
10,000 apps	$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 extractAppDetails increases cost per app.

Limitations and responsible data use

• Only publicly accessible Zapier directory data is returned; operation lists require extractAppDetails.
• Premium/beta flags and partner tiers reflect the directory at run time and change over time.
• Extraction depends on Zapier'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 app in the Zapier directory, identified by slug.

Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

Use slug; it is unique per app and stable across runs.

Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. triggers, actions, searches, integrations, alternatives, and zapTemplates are present only when extractAppDetails is enabled; websiteUrl and description may be absent for some apps.

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 app record written to the dataset is one dataset-item charge; enabling extractAppDetails adds one listing-details charge per enriched app.
