Shopify App Store Scraper – Apps, Pricing, Developers & Reviews

Pull structured data from the Shopify App Store (apps.shopify.com): app name, developer, developer website, star rating, review count, pricing plans, categories, launch date and descriptions. You can also pull merchant reviews: rating, date, text, store name, country, how long the store has used the app, and the developer's reply. Give it a category URL or a list of app URLs and get clean JSON, CSV or Excel back.

What you can use it for

• Competitor monitoring for Shopify app developers: track rivals' ratings, review counts, pricing changes and new reviews.
• Market research: size a category, see which pricing models win, and find niches with weak or poorly rated apps.
• Lead generation: build lists of app vendors with developer websites, for agencies, SaaS tools and investors.
• Review mining: pull merchant complaints and feature requests to inform your roadmap or sales pitch.
• Ecosystem analytics: follow launches by date, and track category trends over time with scheduled runs.

A full sample run (30 apps, 360 reviews) is in `sample-output.json`.

## Responsible scraping
- The Actor reads only public pages and never logs in.
- It follows apps.shopify.com/robots.txt. **Search URLs (`?q=`) are refused**, and so are `/internal/`, `/services/`, `/login/` and tracking parameters.
- Requests are polite by default: low concurrency, randomized delays and retries with backoff.
- Review data includes merchant store names. Process it in line with GDPR/CCPA and your own legal obligations. Shopify's Terms of Service restrict automated access, so you are responsible for how you use this tool and the data.

## Pricing (suggestion, not final)
Suggested **pay-per-result** pricing: **~$0.002 per app** and **~$0.0008 per review**, so 1,000 apps cost about $2 and 10,000 reviews about $8. Platform usage is included. *This is a draft suggestion only and has not been set on Apify.*

## FAQ
**Does it use the search page?** No. robots.txt disallows search, so start from categories or app URLs instead.
**How fresh is the data?** It is live on every run. Schedule the Actor for daily or weekly monitoring.
**Some fields are null?** Free apps often have no plan cards, and some developers list no website.
