What does Apify Store Scraper do?

Apify Store Scraper calls the official Apify Store API with automatic pagination to extract the complete catalog of published actors. Unlike scraping HTML pages, it uses the same JSON API that powers the Apify Console — meaning data is structured, fast, and 100% accurate.

Key features:

• Extracts all 21,000+ actors in a single run (typically 2–4 minutes)
• Filter by category, pricing model, or developer
• Full pricing details including per-event costs and tiered pricing
• Real-time stats: total users, monthly users, success rate, bookmarks
• Clean, structured JSON output ready for analysis or import
