Chrome Web Store Scraper — Extensions, Themes & Ratings

Get Chrome extensions and themes from the Chrome Web Store: users, rating and rating count, version, last update, size, languages, category, the permissions each extension asks for, the data it says it collects, Featured and Established publisher badges, trader status and the publisher. Paste store links — searches with their filters, categories, collections, extension pages — or type search words, pick categories or list extension ids. No login, no browser.

Why this one

• 🔗 Searches, categories, single extensions. Paste a search with its filters (extensions or themes, minimum rating, Featured, Established publishers), a category in either order, the editors' picks, or any extension page. Or type search words and tick the categories here.
• ⚡ Fast. A live test run read 2,338 items with all their details — 1,000 Developer Tools, all 847 Dark & Black themes, 278 VPN extensions, 195 password managers from established publishers and 17 editors' picks — in 85 seconds.
• 🛡️ Permissions and privacy disclosures. Every item comes with the permissions and host permissions from its manifest, and — with details — the data types the developer says it handles (location, web history, website content…), the privacy policy link and whether the publisher declared itself a trader under EU consumer law.
• 🔒 No developer contact data. The store's data carries developers' e-mail addresses, phones and postal addresses; none of it is delivered. E-mail addresses and phone numbers written into descriptions are replaced with [e-mail removed] / [phone removed].
• 💸 You pay only for items delivered. A link that is not a store list, an unknown id or a search with no results comes back as a free record with the reason.

How to use it

1. Paste Chrome Web Store links (searches, categories, collections or extension pages), and/or type Search words, tick Categories, or list Extensions by id.
2. For search words, choose Extensions or themes, Minimum rating, Featured only and Established publishers only; for categories, the Category order. Set the Language of names and descriptions (en, de, ja…).
3. Set Max results per search. Switch off Open every item for its details if the list fields are enough — it is faster.
4. Press Start, and download the results from the Output tab as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To follow a category or your competitors' extensions (users, ratings, versions, permissions), save your input as a task and schedule it daily or weekly.

You can also call it from the Apify API, from Make, Zapier or n8n, or from an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

You are charged per extension or theme delivered — see the price on this page. Opening items for their details costs nothing extra, only time. Links that are not store lists, unknown ids and searches with no results are free. If your run has a Maximum charge, the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

FAQ

How many results per search? The Chrome Web Store itself stops a search at a few hundred items: in the test runs "vpn" gave 278 and "ai" (4 stars and up) 746. Categories go much deeper — a live run read 10,000 extensions of the Tools category (list fields only) in 269 seconds, and there were more. For more from a search, add more search words or use categories.

Are the filters checked? Yes. Type, minimum rating, Featured and Established publishers are asked of the store and checked again on every result; duplicates the store repeats between pages are dropped.

Why is publisher a person's name sometimes? Developers who are not registered traders publish under the "Offered by" name they choose, and it is given as the store shows it. Their e-mail address, phone and postal address are never delivered. When that name is itself an e-mail address or a phone number, publisher is empty.

Are reviews included? No. Reviews are written by private people; this Actor delivers the rating and the number of ratings.

Is this affiliated with Google or the Chrome Web Store? No. This is an independent tool that reads public Chrome Web Store pages.
