Apify Store API

Extract commercial intelligence on every public Actor in the Apify Store as structured JSON: pricing, usage trends, reliability, ratings, and categories. Filter by keyword, category, pricing model, or developer, or sweep the entire store in one run. Built for market research, competitor tracking, pricing analysis, and AI agents - and priced to be the cheapest Apify Store data API on the market.

What it does

This API reads the Apify Store and returns one row per Actor with the data that actually matters for analysis:

• Pricing - pricing model, per-event price ladder, margin, trial, and the full pricing object preserved verbatim.
• Usage trends - total users plus 7-, 30-, and 90-day active users, total runs, builds, and the last run time.
• Reliability - 30-day run outcomes (succeeded / failed / aborted / timed out) and a computed success-rate percentage.
• Demand and quality - bookmarks, review rating, and review count.
• Identity - title, name, developer, categories, description, icon, and the Store URL.

Turn it on for a single keyword, one category, or the whole store. Optionally enrich each Actor with its full README and input schema.

Input

Every field is optional. Run with no input to sweep the whole store (capped by maxItems).

Field	Type	What it does
search	string	Keyword filter across title, name, description, developer, and README
category	enum	One of the 25 Apify Store categories (AI, DEVELOPER_TOOLS, ECOMMERCE, ...)
pricingModel	enum	FREE, FLAT_PRICE_PER_MONTH, PRICE_PER_DATASET_ITEM, or PAY_PER_EVENT
username	string	Filter to one developer handle (e.g. apify)
sortBy	enum	relevance (default), popularity, newest, lastUpdate
maxItems	integer	Cap on Actors returned. 0 = the entire store. Default 1000
offset	integer	Skip this many Actors first (resume or shard a large scrape)
includeDetails	boolean	Add full README + input schema per Actor (slower; use for small sets)

Example input

{
  "category": "AI",
  "pricingModel": "PAY_PER_EVENT",
  "sortBy": "popularity",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Pricing

Pay only per Actor returned, on Apify's transparent pay-per-event model - no subscription and no upstream API key to buy. The per-result price is set to undercut every comparable Actor in the store, so even a full-store sweep costs very little. See the live price on the Store card above.
