How much does it cost to scrape Shopify App Store reviews?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

You pay a small start fee per run and a per-review fee for records saved to the dataset.

Small tests with a few reviews are inexpensive, while larger monitoring jobs scale with the number of review records collected.

Quick start

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Paste one or more Shopify App Store app URLs.
3. Set the maximum number of reviews per app.
4. Optionally select star ratings to filter.
5. Click Start.
6. Download the results from the dataset.

Input options

Shopify App Store app URLs

Paste URLs such as:

https://apps.shopify.com/judgeme/reviews
https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing

App handles

You can also enter handles directly:

judgeme
klaviyo-email-marketing

Maximum reviews per app

Controls how many review rows are saved for each app.

Start with 25 for quick tests.

Increase the value for historical analysis.

Rating filter

Select one or more star ratings when you want only positive or negative reviews.

Examples:

• 5-star reviews for testimonial mining
• 1-star and 2-star reviews for pain-point research
• 3-star reviews for feature-gap discovery

Locale

Use a Shopify App Store locale code such as en, de, fr, es, ja, or pt-BR.

Maximum pages per app

A safety cap that prevents unexpectedly long runs.

Each Shopify App Store review page usually contains around ten reviews.

Data quality notes

The actor returns fields that are publicly visible on Shopify App Store review pages.

Some merchant details or developer replies may be absent on specific reviews.

When a field is not visible, the value is returned as null.

Limits

Shopify App Store review availability depends on the public listing.

Very old pages or filtered views may return fewer records than requested.

Use sensible review and page limits for predictable run time.

FAQ

Can I use the scraper through the API?

Yes. Use the API examples above or call the actor from any Apify client with app URLs, handles, limits, and filters.

Can I use it with MCP?

Yes. Use the MCP URL and configuration examples above to connect the actor to compatible AI tools.

Troubleshooting

The run returned no reviews

Check that the app handle or URL is valid and that the app has public reviews.

Try the app listing URL in a browser, then rerun with a small limit.

I got fewer reviews than requested

The selected rating filter may have fewer matching reviews, or the page limit may be too low.

Increase maxPagesPerApp or remove rating filters.

Some reply fields are empty

Developer replies are only returned when they are visible for a review.
