## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## CodeCanyon Marketplace Scraper: Plugin & Script Sales Data

Scrape the [CodeCanyon](https://codecanyon.net) 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.

### Input

```json
{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "categories": ["wordpress", "php-scripts"]
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | Integer | `10` | Maximum number of items to return. |
| `categories` | Array | `[]` (all) | Limit the crawl to specific CodeCanyon categories: `wordpress`, `php-scripts`, `javascript`, `css`, `mobile`, `html5`, `plugins`, `net`, `apps`. Leave empty to crawl every category. |
| `resumeCursor` | String | — | Cursor from a previous run's Output — continues a stopped crawl instead of starting over. |

### 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.

# Actor input Schema

## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`):

What will this data feed? E.g. lead lists, KYB checks, price tracking.

## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`):

Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

## `sp_contact` (type: `string`):

We'll personally help with your use case. No spam.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of records to scrape

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Limit the crawl to specific CodeCanyon top-level categories. Leave empty to crawl the entire catalog (all categories).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...",
  "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...",
  "sp_contact": "Share your email here...",

  "categories": []

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
