How Shopify App Store Scraper Works

1. Configure your input. Pick a scrape mode: provide specific app URLs, category URLs, or let the scraper discover apps from the sitemap. Set maxItems to control how many apps you want.
2. The scraper crawls listings. For category URLs, it discovers individual app pages from the category grid. For direct URLs, it goes straight to each app detail page. Pagination and retries are handled automatically.
3. App data gets extracted. Each app page yields structured metadata — name, pricing plans, ratings, developer info, categories, screenshots, and badge status.
4. Reviews are optional. Enable do_fetch_reviews and the scraper follows into each app's review pages, collecting up to 5 pages of reviews per app. These are billed as premium records at a higher rate, so you only pay for them when you need them.

    "https://apps.shopify.com/smile-io"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10
}

Crawl a category

    "https://apps.shopify.com/categories/finding-and-adding-products"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Scrape with reviews (premium)

{
  "appsUrls": [
    "https://apps.shopify.com/smile-io"
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "do_fetch_reviews": true
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
appsUrls	array	[]	Direct Shopify App Store URLs to scrape. Each entry is a full URL like https://apps.shopify.com/oberlo.
categoryUrls	array	["https://apps.shopify.com/categories/finding-and-adding-products"]	Category pages to crawl for app discovery. The scraper extracts individual app URLs from these pages.
maxItems	integer	5	Maximum number of apps to scrape. Set to 0 for no limit.
do_fetch_reviews	boolean	false	Fetch full user reviews for each app. Billed as premium records at $4/1K instead of $2/1K.

If both appsUrls and categoryUrls are empty, the scraper falls back to Shopify's sitemap.xml to discover app URLs across the entire store.

FAQ

How do I scrape apps from the Shopify App Store?

Shopify App Store Scraper accepts three input modes. Provide direct app URLs in appsUrls to scrape specific apps, category URLs in categoryUrls to discover and scrape all apps in a category, or leave both empty to crawl the entire store via sitemap. Set maxItems to control volume.

How much does Shopify App Store Scraper cost to run?

Shopify App Store Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. Standard records (app metadata without reviews) cost approximately $0.002 per record ($2 per 1,000 apps). Premium records with full review text cost approximately $0.004 per record ($4 per 1,000 apps). Platform compute costs are minimal since the scraper uses Cheerio, not a full browser.

What data can I get from the Shopify App Store?

Shopify App Store Scraper extracts 14 fields per app: name, URL, page title, review count, average rating, description, pricing plans, categories, logo URL, developer name, developer email, Built for Shopify badge status, gallery images, and scrape timestamp. With reviews enabled, you also get individual review text, star ratings, reviewer store names, and developer replies.

Does Shopify App Store Scraper need proxies?

Shopify App Store Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default, which is the recommended configuration. The store applies rate limiting on high-volume requests, and the scraper handles this with automatic retries and conservative concurrency settings.

Can I scrape reviews from the Shopify App Store?

Shopify App Store Scraper supports full review extraction. Set do_fetch_reviews to true in your input, and the scraper will collect reviews from up to 5 pages per app, including star ratings, review body text, reviewer store names, dates, and developer replies. Reviews are billed as premium records since they require additional page requests.
