Shopify App Store Scraper — App Details, Reviews & Catalog Discovery

Scrape the Shopify App Store into clean, structured JSON — app details, store reviews, and full-catalog discovery by keyword. No account, no login, no API key. Look up apps by handle or URL, pull every review with rating and country, or find competitors across the whole catalog.

✅ Last verified working: 2026-06-01. This actor is monitored by an automated daily canary. When Shopify changes its markup, we patch fast and note it in the changelog below — so your data pipeline doesn't silently break.

Why this Shopify App Store scraper

Most Shopify App Store scrapers break the moment Shopify tweaks a page layout — and the worst part is they silently return nothing or a false "0 reviews" instead of erroring loudly. That's the source of nearly every "stopped working" complaint you see on competing actors. This one is built to stay working:

• Stable source of truth for details. App details are read from the page's official application/ld+json structured-data block — title, rating, review count, category, developer — which is far more durable than scraping CSS class names that change weekly.
• Robust, paginated reviews. Every review with its rating, the reviewing store's name and country, how long they've used the app, the date, the full text, and (where present) the developer's reply. An empty-but-200 review page is treated as a soft failure and retried with backoff — never reported as "0 reviews".
• Catalog discovery via the official sitemap. Find apps by keyword across the entire Shopify App Store catalog using Shopify's own sitemap (the canonical, always-fresh app index) instead of a fragile, client-rendered search box.
• Stable output schema (_schemaVersion) so your downstream code never breaks on a field rename.
• Monitored daily. A canary tests all three modes every day; any breakage is patched quickly and logged in the changelog at the bottom of this page.

If you've been burned by a scraper that quietly died, the whole reason FreshActors exists is operational reliability — "always-fresh" is the product.

What data you get

The actor runs in three modes. Pick one with the mode input.

Mode details — full app metadata

Field	Type	Description
handle	string	App slug (e.g. klaviyo-email-marketing)
url	string	Canonical app listing URL
title	string	App name
developer	string	Developer / publisher name
category	string	App category
rating	number	Overall star rating
reviewCount	number	Total number of reviews
pricingSummary	string	Pricing summary (e.g. "Free to install")
builtForShopify	boolean	"Built for Shopify" badge flag
icon	string	App icon image URL
_type	string	Record type (app_details)
_schemaVersion	string	Output schema version
_scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp of capture

Mode reviews — store reviews

Field	Type	Description
handle	string	App the review belongs to
reviewId	string	Stable review identifier
rating	number	Star rating (1–5)
storeName	string	Name of the reviewing store
country	string	Store's country
usedAppFor	string	How long the store has used the app
date	string	Review date
body	string	Full review text
developerReply	string|null	Developer's reply, if any
_scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp of capture

Mode discover — find apps across the catalog

Give a keyword (e.g. email, review, crm) and get full details records for matching apps drawn from the whole Shopify App Store catalog via the sitemap. Leave the keyword empty to enumerate the catalog from the top. Ideal for market research and competitor mapping.

Use cases

• App developers doing competitor research. Pull details for every app in your niche to track rating, review count, pricing, and the "Built for Shopify" badge — the exact data you'd otherwise copy by hand. Searching for a Shopify App Store API or Shopify app data export? This is it.
• Agencies & SaaS teams mining reviews for product insight. Use reviews mode to export hundreds of reviews per app, then run sentiment or feature-request analysis. Filter by reviewsSort to surface the harshest (lowest_rating) or freshest (newest) feedback first.
• Market researchers & VCs mapping the ecosystem. Use discover to enumerate apps by keyword across the catalog — build a dataset of email-marketing apps, CRMs, or review widgets to size a market or screen acquisition targets.
• Lead-gen & sales teams. Discover apps in a category, then enrich each with developer name and pricing to build a prospect list of Shopify ecosystem players. A faceless, no-API-key way to scrape Shopify App Store listings on demand.

Pricing

This actor is pay-per-result — no monthly subscription, you pay only for what you actually get:

Event	What it covers	Price (USD)
App details fetched	Charged once per app whose full details are returned	$0.002
Discovery result fetched	Charged once per app returned from catalog discovery	$0.001
Review fetched	Charged once per app review returned	$0.0001

How much does 100 results cost?

• 100 app details → 100 × $0.002 = $0.20
• 100 reviews → 100 × $0.0001 = $0.01
• 100 discovered apps (full details for each) → 100 × $0.001 = $0.10

So pulling details for 100 apps and 200 reviews each (20,000 reviews) costs about $0.20 + $2.00 = $2.20. (Apify platform usage is billed separately per their standard rates.)

FAQ

Is scraping the Shopify App Store legal? This actor collects only public, non-personal listing data — the same app details, ratings, and reviews any visitor sees, plus Shopify's public sitemap. There's no login and no private account data. As with any scraping, use the data responsibly and in line with applicable terms and laws; consult your own counsel for your specific use case.

Do I need an API key or a Shopify account? No. There is no official public Shopify App Store API, and this actor needs no API key, no login, and no Shopify account. You just provide handles, URLs, or a keyword.

How do I find an app's handle? The handle is the slug at the end of the app URL. For https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing, the handle is klaviyo-email-marketing. You can pass either handles (appHandles) or full URLs (appUrls).

Can I get app reviews, including the country and developer replies? Yes. In reviews mode you get each review's rating, the reviewing store's name and country, how long they've used the app, the date, the full text, and the developer's reply where one exists. Cap the volume with maxReviewsPerApp (up to 5000).

Can I discover or list all apps in a category? Yes — use discover mode with a keyword like email, review, or crm. It matches against the catalog sitemap and returns full details for up to maxApps (1000) matches. Leave query empty to enumerate the catalog from the top.

Can I get install counts / sold data / revenue? No — Shopify doesn't publish install counts or revenue on listing pages, so they can't be scraped. You do get reviewCount and rating, which are the standard public popularity signals.

How often is the data updated? It's live: every run fetches data fresh from Shopify at request time, stamped with _scrapedAt. The actor itself is verified by a daily canary across all three modes.

What format is the output and how do I export it? Structured JSON per record, with a stable _schemaVersion. From the Apify console or API you can export the dataset to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

What happens if Shopify changes its page layout? Details are pulled from the durable application/ld+json block, and a daily canary tests every mode. If something breaks, we patch quickly and log it in the changelog — that "always-fresh" reliability is the whole point of FreshActors.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run any mode on a cron (e.g. daily review pulls), or trigger runs via the Apify API/client from your own code.
