CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper: Plugin & Script Sales Data

Scrape the CodeCanyon marketplace — Envato's catalog of paid WordPress plugins, PHP scripts, JavaScript, HTML templates, and more. Returns item name, author, price, sales count, rating, tags, and compatibility for every item across all 9 top-level categories, or a subset you choose.

CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper Features

• Extracts the full catalog — 38,000+ items across WordPress, PHP Scripts, JavaScript, CSS, Mobile, HTML5, Plugins, .NET, and Apps.
• Returns per-item sales counts, the field most marketplaces don't expose and developers actually want when sizing a niche.
• Includes rating, review count, last-update date, and how long an item has been on sale.
• Captures tags and software compatibility (WooCommerce version, WordPress version, browser support) per item.
• Filter to specific categories with one input field, or leave it empty and get everything.
• Handles pagination automatically across the entire result set — point it at a category and let it run.

Who Uses CodeCanyon Data?

• Plugin and theme developers — size a niche before building, by comparing sales counts and pricing across competing items.
• Marketplace researchers — track pricing trends and category growth across the WordPress plugin economy.
• Competitive analysts — benchmark a specific author's catalog against similar sellers, sales and ratings included.
• Product managers — validate a feature idea against what's already selling, and at what price.
• Data teams — feed a structured, up-to-date CodeCanyon catalog into a BI dashboard instead of maintaining a spreadsheet by hand.

How CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper Works

1. Pick a scope — leave categories empty for the entire catalog, or list the categories you care about.
2. The scraper walks each category's full result set and queues every item it finds.
3. Each item page is visited for its complete field set — sales, rating, tags, compatibility, and more.
4. Records land in your dataset as the run progresses, ready to export in JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a resumeCursor in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit maxItems, your spend cap (maxTotalChargeUsd), or was aborted — start a new run with the same input plus that resumeCursor to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

• You are not re-charged for records the earlier run already delivered.
• Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its resumeCursor is no longer valid.
• resumeCursor is opaque — supply it unmodified.

FAQ

How do I scrape CodeCanyon?

Run this actor with an empty input for the full catalog, or set categories to the sections you want. No account or API key required.

What data can I get from CodeCanyon?

Item name, author, price, sales count, rating, review count, tags, compatibility, and publish/update dates — everything that's visible on an item's page, minus the source code itself.

Can I filter by category?

Yes. Set categories to any combination of wordpress, php-scripts, javascript, css, mobile, html5, plugins, net, and apps. Omit the field for the entire catalog.

How much does CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper cost to run?

Pricing is pay-per-record — check the actor's pricing tab for current rates. Set maxItems to control cost on any given run.

Does this include sales counts?

Yes — sales is a standard field on every item record. CodeCanyon is one of the few marketplaces that publishes this number, and it's usually the reason people run this actor in the first place.

Why Use CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper?

• Full catalog coverage — every category, not a hand-picked sample.
• Sales data included — the one field developers actually need to size a niche, returned on every record instead of buried behind a click-through.
• Resumable — a 38,000-item crawl doesn't need to finish in one sitting.
