🔍 What does Ghost Themes Scraper do?

It reads the official Ghost theme marketplace at ghost.org/themes and returns one row per theme: name, category, pricing tier, price, author or studio name, star rating, and a preview thumbnail. Turn on the optional detail mode and it also fetches each theme's live demo link, plus its purchase link for paid themes or its direct source download link for free official themes.

Run it on the Apify platform to schedule repeat checks, pull results through the API, or export straight to JSON, CSV, or Excel, no manual browsing required.

💡 Tips

• Leave every filter blank and raise maxItems to around 250 to pull the entire marketplace in a single run.
• Only turn on fetchDetails when you actually need the demo or purchase links. It roughly doubles the number of requests, so skip it for a quick price or rating comparison.
• Run it on a schedule if you want to track when new themes are added or prices change, since each run reads the marketplace fresh.

❓ FAQ

How many themes does this cover? Every theme currently listed on the official Ghost marketplace, around 242 as of this writing. Each run reads the live page, so the count reflects whatever is listed at run time.

Does this include the demo and purchase links by default? No. Turn on the "Fetch demo & purchase links" option to add them. It's off by default because it takes one extra request per theme.

Can I filter to just free themes, or just one category? Yes. Combine the category, pricing tier, and minimum rating filters to narrow results before you download.

Will this keep working if Ghost redesigns the marketplace page? It reads the page's current structure, so a significant redesign could require an update. If a run ever returns unexpectedly few results, open an issue in the Actor's Issues tab.
