Extract plans, MACC, PAYG, BYOL, trials, ratings, and timestamps to JSON/CSV. - **URL**: https://apify.com/immense\_insulator/azure-marketplace-plan-intelligence.md - **Developed by:** [xinyao a](https://apify.com/immense_insulator) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $2.50 / 1,000 azure marketplace plan rows This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Azure Marketplace Pricing API & Plan Export Compare Azure Marketplace pricing plans and export offers to JSON or CSV. This Actor turns Microsoft's public Marketplace catalog into procurement-ready plan rows for **plan comparison, vendor shortlisting, MACC analysis, and competitor research**—without a Microsoft login, API key, browser, or proxy. > Looking for an Azure Marketplace pricing API? This Actor exports plan-level pricing **types and commercial metadata** (PAYG, free trial, BYOL, reserved instance, MACC, and stop-sell status). It does not claim to provide negotiated or private numeric prices; confirm final commercial terms with Microsoft or the publisher. ### Real output: compare plans before procurement A verified cloud run returned **10 MACC-eligible SaaS plans across 7 offers; 9 of 10 were PAYG**. Representative rows: | Publisher | Offer / plan | Pricing type | MACC | Procurement or competitor-analysis use | |---|---|---|---:|---| | Imperva | Data Security — upfront with overage | PAYG | Yes | Compare billing variants within one vendor offer | | Imperva | Data Security — annual billing | PAYG | Yes | Identify alternate commercial plans and SKU IDs | | Degreed | Enterprise LXP | PAYG | Yes | Add an eligible vendor/plan to a sourcing shortlist | | Stackblitz | Enterprise | PAYG | Yes | Benchmark competing AI development offers | | Fini AI | Growth / Enterprise | PAYG / Free | Yes | Compare plan mix and monitor catalog changes | - [View the real output sample](https://tools.axinyao.com/azure-marketplace-macc-plan-data) - [Download CSV](https://tools.axinyao.com/static/azure-marketplace/azure-macc-security-sample.csv) - [Download JSON](https://tools.axinyao.com/static/azure-marketplace/azure-macc-security-sample.json) ### What the offer export includes Generic Azure Marketplace scrapers usually emit one listing row. This Azure Marketplace plan comparison API defaults to **one row per commercial plan** and exposes procurement signals otherwise buried in nested catalog JSON: - Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment benefit (`isMacc`) - plan pricing types (`Payg`, `FreeTrial`, `Byol`, `Ri`, etc.) - free/trial/PAYG/BYOL/stop-sell state - plan/SKU IDs and purchase-duration discounts - publisher, categories, rating, rating count, and source modification time - keyset pagination and reproducible source URLs Use the export to compare a publisher's plans, shortlist MACC-eligible products, inspect PAYG/BYOL/trial positioning, track offer changes, or benchmark competitors' Marketplace packaging. ### Downloadable Azure Marketplace offer export A current 10-row MACC-eligible SaaS sample is available with downloadable CSV and JSON: - [View the sample and procurement fields](https://tools.axinyao.com/azure-marketplace-macc-plan-data) - [Download sample CSV](https://tools.axinyao.com/static/azure-marketplace/azure-macc-security-sample.csv) - [Download sample JSON](https://tools.axinyao.com/static/azure-marketplace/azure-macc-security-sample.json) The sample was generated from a successful Apify cloud run and includes 10 plans across 7 offers. Nine of the rows are tagged PAYG. ### Input example ```json { "keyword": "security", "offerTypes": ["SaaS"], "pricingTypes": ["Payg", "FreeTrial"], "maccOnly": true, "freeTrialOnly": false, "outputMode": "plans", "maxItems": 500 } ```` | Field | Default | Meaning | |---|---:|---| | `keyword` | empty | Case-aware variants are searched in offer name, publisher, summary, and description | | `publisher` | empty | Publisher-name substring | | `offerTypes` | `[]` | `SaaS`, `VirtualMachine`, `AzureApplication`, `Container`, etc. | | `pricingTypes` | `[]` | Plan pricing filter; matching is case-insensitive | | `maccOnly` | `false` | Only offers marked MACC eligible | | `freeTrialOnly` | `false` | Only offers with free-trial plans | | `byolOnly` | `false` | Only BYOL offers | | `includeStopped` | `false` | Include stop-sell offers/plans | | `outputMode` | `plans` | One row per `plan` or one row per `offer` | | `maxItems` | `100` | Hard output limit, maximum 20,000 | ### Output example ```json { "recordType": "plan", "offerId": "DZH318XZLLJJ", "offerName": "...", "publisherName": "...", "offerType": "SaaS", "planId": "...", "planName": "...", "pricingTypes": ["Payg"], "isMacc": true, "hasFreeTrial": false, "isPayg": true, "isByol": false, "rating": 4.5, "ratingCount": 10, "lastModifiedAt": "2026-07-01T00:00:00Z", "marketplaceUrl": "https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/...?...", "sourceUrl": "https://catalogapi.azure.com/offers" } ``` Exact values come from the live catalog; the example only illustrates the schema. ### Data source and responsible use - Source: `GET https://catalogapi.azure.com/offers?api-version=2018-08-01-beta` - Public, credential-free JSON catalog data only. - No account bypass, personal profiles, emails, or other sensitive personal data. - The endpoint uses a beta API version and is not guaranteed by this Actor. Microsoft can change fields or availability. The client has bounded retries and validates every response. - Users remain responsible for complying with Microsoft terms and their own use case. Do not treat marketplace flags as contractual advice; confirm purchasing eligibility in Microsoft Marketplace. ### Local development ```bash python -m venv .venv . .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt pytest -q -m "not integration" pytest -q -m integration ``` Run locally with Apify storage: ```bash export APIFY_INPUT='{"maccOnly":true,"offerTypes":["SaaS"],"maxItems":5}' python -m src.main ``` Or build the production image: ```bash docker build -t azure-marketplace-plan-intelligence . ``` ### Store pricing The current Store price is **$2.50 per 1,000 output rows** (`$0.0025/result`). Apify charges the default dataset-item event when a row is written. Re-evaluate after 30–60 days of organic usage. # Actor input Schema ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive search across offer name, publisher, summary, and description. ## `publisher` (type: `string`): Return offers whose publisher name contains this text. ## `offerTypes` (type: `array`): Optional offer type filter.
