Chrome Web Store Leads Scraper

Extracts extension rankings, install counts, user ratings, and verified developer contact emails directly from the Chrome Web Store without running a headless browser.

Run directly on Apify Store — zero installation required.

What it does

This Actor searches the official Chrome Web Store (chromewebstore.google.com) by keyword and concurrently extracts metadata from the server-rendered item detail pages. It targets extension metadata for market research, developer outreach, and B2B lead generation.

Because it operates via direct HTTP streams rather than booting a full Chromium/Puppeteer instance, it finishes within seconds and uses negligible compute.

Extracted data fields

For each extension found, the actor extracts:

• id: The unique 32-character Chrome extension ID
• title: Extension public title
• developerEmail: Public developer / support contact email
• userCount: Active user count string (e.g. 1,000,000+ users)
• userCountNumber: Numeric parsed user count (e.g. 1000000)
• rating: Average review rating (1.0 to 5.0)
• url: Direct Chrome Web Store link
• description: Extension summary / tagline
• privacyPolicyUrl: Developer privacy policy URL
• iconUrl: Extension store icon image URL
• scrapedAt: ISO timestamp
