Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### What does Apify Store Scraper do? **Apify Store Scraper** extracts structured data from the [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store) marketplace — the world's largest collection of web scraping and automation actors.

This is data returned by the scraper — it is not related to the cost of running Apify Store Scraper itself. *** ### How much does it cost to run Apify Store Scraper? **Apify Store Scraper** uses a **Pay Per Event** pricing model — you only pay for the actors successfully extracted. | Use case | Results | Estimated cost | |---|---|---| | Quick market snapshot | 100 actors | ~$0.05 | | Category analysis | 500 actors | ~$0.25 | | Full developer catalog | 1,000 actors | ~$0.50 | | Full Store export | 25,000 actors | ~$12.50 | > 🎁 **New Apify users get $5 in free credits** — enough to scrape up to 10,000 actors on your first try. Apify Store Scraper **does not use proxies or browser rendering** — it calls the Apify Store's public search API directly. This makes runs extremely fast (typically under 10 seconds for 100 results) and very cheap to operate. *** ### Apify platform advantages By running **Apify Store Scraper** on the Apify platform, you get all of these for free: - ⏱️ **Scheduling** — run on a daily, weekly, or custom cron schedule to monitor the Store over time - 🔌 **API access** — trigger runs and retrieve data programmatically via the Apify API - 🔗 **Integrations** — connect directly with Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack, Airbyte, and more - 📦 **Export formats** — download results as JSON, CSV, XML, Excel, or HTML - 📡 **Webhooks** — trigger actions automatically when a run completes - 📊 **Run monitoring** — track performance, logs, and history from the Apify Console - 🔒 **Secure storage** — your datasets are stored securely and available on demand *** ### 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](https://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. *** ### Frequently asked questions #### Does Apify Store Scraper work without an Apify account? No — you need a free Apify account to run actors on the platform. Creating one takes less than a minute and gives you **$5 in free credits** to get started. #### How many actors are available on the Apify Store? The Apify Store has **24,000+ public actors**, with new ones being added every day. Set `maxItems` to `25000` and `sortBy` to `newest` to track the latest additions. #### Can I filter actors by multiple categories at once? Yes. Set the `categories` input to an array with multiple values, for example `["AI", "SOCIAL_MEDIA", "ECOMMERCE"]`. Results will include actors that match **any** of the selected categories. #### Can I get all actors from a specific developer? Yes — use the `username` input field with the developer's Apify username. For example, setting `username` to `"apify"` returns all actors published by Apify's official team. #### What is the difference between `APIFY` and `COMMUNITY` in the `managedBy` filter? - `APIFY` — actors built and maintained by the Apify team (218 actors total) - `COMMUNITY` — actors built by independent developers (24,000+ actors — the vast majority of the Store) #### What pricing models exist in the Apify Store? Based on live Store data, three models are used: - `FREE` — no cost beyond standard platform usage - `PAY_PER_EVENT` — pay per result extracted (most common: ~51% of the Store) - `FLAT_PRICE_PER_MONTH` — fixed monthly subscription (~36% of the Store) #### How do I get only free actors? Set `pricingModel` to `["FREE"]`. This returns all actors that have no cost beyond standard Apify platform usage. #### Can I scrape Apify Store data via API? Yes. Once you have an Apify account, you can trigger this Actor and retrieve results via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). The API tab on this page shows ready-to-use code examples in Node.js, Python, and cURL. #### How often is the Apify Store data updated? The data reflects the live state of the Apify Store at the time of each run. Schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly to capture changes over time. *** ### Support Found a bug or want a new feature?
