# Apify Store API (`johnvc/store-actor-intelligence-api`) Actor Apify Store API - extract every public Actor's pricing, usage trends, success rate, ratings, and categories as structured JSON. Filter by keyword, category, pricing model, or developer, or sweep the whole store. For market research, competitor tracking, and AI agents. - **URL**: https://apify.com/johnvc/store-actor-intelligence-api.md - **Developed by:** [John](https://apify.com/johnvc) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.01 / 1,000 actor returneds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? 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 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. ### What you can extract | Group | Fields | | --- | --- | | Identity | actorId, name, username, title, url, categories, description, pictureUrl | | Maintainer | userFullName, userPictureUrl | | Usage | totalUsers, monthlyUsers, totalUsers7Days/30Days/90Days, totalRuns, totalBuilds, lastRunStartedAt | | Reliability | runs30DaysTotal/Succeeded/Failed/Aborted/TimedOut, successRate30Days | | Demand | bookmarkCount, reviewRating, reviewCount | | Pricing | pricingModel, pricePerUnitUsd, apifyMarginPercentage, trialMinutes, pricingEvents, pricingInfo | | Enrichment (optional) | readme, inputSchema, exampleRunInput, defaultRunOptions, seoTitle, seoDescription, isDeprecated, latestVersion | ### 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 ```json { "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. ### How to get started 1.

Last Updated: 2026.06.30 # Actor input Schema ## `search` (type: `string`): Filter Actors by keyword across title, name, description, developer, and README (e.g. 'instagram', 'pdf', 'maps'). Leave empty to match all Actors. ## `category` (type: `string`): Return only Actors in this Apify Store category. Leave empty for all categories. ## `pricingModel` (type: `string`): Return only Actors on this pricing model. Leave empty for all models. ## `username` (type: `string`): Return only Actors published by this developer handle (e.g. 'apify', 'johnvc'). Leave empty for all developers. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Order the results. 'relevance' (default), 'popularity' (most users first), 'newest', or 'lastUpdate'. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of Actors to return. Set to 0 to scrape the entire store (~33,000+ Actors, paged automatically). Defaults to 1000. ## `offset` (type: `integer`): Skip this many Actors before returning results. Use for resuming or sharding a large scrape. Defaults to 0. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Enrich each Actor with its full README and input schema (1-2 extra API calls per Actor). Use only with small result sets - it makes large scrapes slow. Defaults to false. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sortBy": "relevance", "maxItems": 1000, "offset": 0, "includeDetails": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `allResults` (type: `string`): Every dataset item from this run. ## `overview` (type: `string`): Tabular overview using the dataset's default view: Actor, developer, pricing, users, success rate, rating, bookmarks, and Store URL. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
