## 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

## JetBrains Plugin Marketplace Scraper

Extract plugin data from the [JetBrains Plugin Marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/) — the official store for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, PhpStorm, RubyMine, CLion, DataGrip, and Android Studio plugins.

The first and only Apify actor targeting plugins.jetbrains.com.

### What you get

Each record includes:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `plugin_id` | Numeric JetBrains plugin ID |
| `name` | Plugin display name |
| `xml_id` | Reverse-DNS plugin ID (e.g. `org.intellij.plugins.markdown`) |
| `downloads` | Total download count |
| `rating` | Average user rating (1–5) |
| `pricing_model` | `FREE`, `PAID`, or `FREEMIUM` |
| `vendor_name` | Vendor / publisher name |
| `vendor_email` | Vendor contact email |
| `vendor_url` | Vendor website URL |
| `vendor_is_verified` | JetBrains-verified vendor flag |
| `vendor_is_trader` | Registered trader flag |
| `tags` | Plugin tags (e.g. `AI`, `Code Tools`, `Theme`) |
| `compatible_products` | IDE product codes (`IDEA`, `PYCHARM`, `WEBSTORM`, etc.) |
| `version` | Latest version string |
| `version_since_build` | Minimum compatible IDE build number |
| `version_until_build` | Maximum compatible IDE build number |
| `description_html` | Full plugin description (HTML) |
| `icon_url` | Plugin icon URL |
| `preview_image_url` | Plugin banner/preview image URL |
| `plugin_url` | Plugin marketplace URL |
| `source_url` | Source code repository URL |
| `bugtracker_url` | Issue tracker URL |

### Modes

#### Catalog (default)
Paginates the full JetBrains Plugin Marketplace catalog (~10,000 plugins). Apply optional filters:
- `pricingModel`: `FREE`, `PAID`, or `FREEMIUM`
- `tag`: any tag string (e.g. `AI`, `Code tools`, `Theme`)
- `sort`: `downloads` (default), `rating`, `name`, `updated`, or `featured`

#### Search
Keyword search across plugin names and descriptions. Set `mode: search` and provide a `query`.

#### Plugin Detail
Fetch a single plugin by its numeric ID. Set `mode: plugin_detail` and provide a `pluginId`.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "catalog",
  "pricingModel": "FREE",
  "tag": "AI",
  "sort": "downloads",
  "maxItems": 100
}
````

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "git",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

```json
{
  "mode": "plugin_detail",
  "pluginId": "9525"
}
```

### Use cases

- **Developer tool market research** — track download trends, rating distributions, and category growth over time
- **VC / analyst intelligence** — monitor which plugins are gaining traction in the IntelliJ ecosystem
- **Competitive analysis** — compare plugin metrics against your own or competitor offerings
- **IDE extension discovery** — build curated lists of top-rated or trending plugins by IDE and category
- **Pricing model analysis** — understand the free vs paid vs freemium split across categories

### Notes

- Data is sourced from the public JetBrains Plugin Marketplace REST API — no authentication required
- Vendor email is only returned when the vendor has opted in to showing it publicly
- The `compatible_products` list comes from the latest plugin version's compatibility declaration
- Full catalog runs (~10,000 plugins × 2 API calls each) take roughly 60–90 minutes with default politeness delays
