    "title": "Google Maps Scraper",
    "name": "crawler-google-places",

}

Is it legal to scrape the Apify Store?

Apify Store Scraper only accesses publicly available data from the Apify Store marketplace — the same data you can see by visiting apify.com/store in any browser.

This scraper does not extract any private user data, passwords, email addresses, or any information not explicitly displayed on the public Store pages. We therefore believe that using this scraper for ethical research, market analysis, or tool discovery purposes is safe.

However, you are responsible for how you use the extracted data. Personal data (such as developer names and profile pictures that are publicly listed) is protected under GDPR in the European Union and other regulations worldwide. Use data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws. If in doubt, consult your legal team.
