# Apify Store Scraper (`gio21/apify-store-scraper`) Actor Scrape and analyze 20,000+ public actors from the Apify Store. - **URL**: https://apify.com/gio21/apify-store-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Gio](https://apify.com/gio21) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Apify Store Scraper Scrape and analyze 20,000+ public actors from the Apify Store. Built for portfolio research, competitive intelligence, and pricing analysis. ### What you get per actor - **Identity:** id, name, title, username, owner full name, profile pictures - **Discovery:** description, categories, badge, URL - **Adoption stats:** totalRuns, totalUsers, totalUsers7Days / 30Days / 90Days, bookmarkCount, lastRunStartedAt - **Quality stats:** actorReviewRating, actorReviewCount, runs30Days breakdown (SUCCEEDED / FAILED / ABORTED / TIMED-OUT), successRate30d - **Pricing:** pricingModel, primaryEventPriceUsd, pricingTiersByEvent (FREE / BRONZE / SILVER / GOLD / PLATINUM / DIAMOND per event), apifyMarginPercentage, pricingStartedAt - **Detail enrichment (optional):** createdAt, modifiedAt, exampleRunInput, isPublic, isDeprecated ### Use cases - **Niche research:** search "instagram" / "linkedin" / "shopify" and rank competitors by 30-day users - **Pricing benchmarks:** see what every actor in your category charges across all tiers - **Market gaps:** filter `minTotalUsers > 100` and `category=X` to map the established players - **Portfolio audit:** scrape `username=` your own profile and dump stats for every actor - **Hot-and-rising:** sort by `newest` + filter `minTotalUsers > 10` to find rising actors in their first weeks ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `searchTerm` | Free-text search across titles, names, descriptions. | | `category` | One of: AGENTS, AI, AUTOMATION, BUSINESS, DEVELOPER_TOOLS, ECOMMERCE, EDUCATION, INTEGRATIONS, JOBS, LEAD_GENERATION, MARKETING, NEWS, OPEN_SOURCE, OTHER, REAL_ESTATE, SEO_TOOLS, SOCIAL_MEDIA, TRAVEL, VIDEOS. | | `sortBy` | popularity / newest / relevance / totalUsers. | | `maxItems` | Cap on returned actors. The store has 20,000+ — be specific. | | `enrichWithDetails` | Adds createdAt, modifiedAt, exampleRunInput. Same flat price either way. | | `minTotalUsers` | Filter out abandoned / test actors. | | `pricingModelFilter` | PAY_PER_EVENT / PAY_PER_USAGE / PAY_PER_RESULT / FREE / FLAT_PRICE_PER_MONTH. | ### Pricing **$0.003 per actor scraped.** Pay-per-event. 1000 actors = $3. ### Notes - Uses Apify's own public Store API (no auth, no scraping needed for listing data). - The API filters some actors server-side (deprecated, draft, etc.) — counts toward offset, so pagination converges correctly. - Detail enrichment runs at concurrency=8 to keep wall-time low. - No proxy required. # Actor input Schema ## `searchTerm` (type: `string`): Search across actor titles, names, and descriptions (e.g. 'instagram', 'shopee', 'pdf'). Leave empty to list all. ## `category` (type: `string`): Filter by Apify Store category. Leave empty for no filter. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): How to sort the results. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of actors to return. ## `enrichWithDetails` (type: `boolean`): Adds extra fields from /v2/acts/{id}: createdAt, modifiedAt, builds, exampleRunInput. Doubles the API call count - cost is the same flat $0.003/actor regardless. ## `minTotalUsers` (type: `integer`): Drop actors below this user count. Useful to filter abandoned/private/test actors. ## `pricingModelFilter` (type: `string`): Only return actors with this pricing model. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchTerm": "", "category": "", "sortBy": "popularity", "maxItems": 50, "enrichWithDetails": true, "minTotalUsers": 0, "pricingModelFilter": "" } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped Apify Store actors with stats, pricing, categories, owner, URL. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "maxItems": 50 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gio21/apify-store-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
