Chrome Extensions Scraper

🧩 Build a clear Chrome extension market list

Chrome Extensions Scraper helps product teams, security teams, and marketers collect public Chrome Web Store data. Find extensions by URL, ID, search, category, or top chart. Get listing facts, ratings, user counts, publisher contacts, manifests, permissions, media, privacy links, and related extensions in one dataset.

• Find popular tools with a Web Scraper search.
• Compare listings for a Web Scraper Chrome Extension search.
• Build a market list with a Web Scraper Extension search.
• Review ratings and users for a Data Scraper Chrome Extension search.
• Discover products with a Web Scraping Tools search.

The first eligible copy of an extension is saved. If a later target finds the same extension, that later copy is ignored.

📦 Data you can get

Each row may include the extension name, ID, listing URL, descriptions, category, version, dates, size, minimum Chrome version, ratings, users, Featured and verified status, public publisher contacts, support and privacy links, images, videos, languages, manifest facts, and related extensions. Search, category, and chart rows also show the first target and source rank that found them.

Some fields can be null or empty when the Chrome Web Store does not show that fact.

🚀 Run the Actor

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Add Chrome Web Store URLs, IDs, search words, categories, or chart targets.
3. Set filters or a result limit if you need them.
4. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged once for each Chrome Web Store extension saved to the dataset. A target that is missing, private, unsupported, or not found does not create a charged row.

🔌 Integrations

Run the Actor with the Apify API, schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, or other Apify integrations.

❓ FAQ

Can I look up one extension by ID?

Yes. Add its 32-character extension ID or full Chrome Web Store URL.

Can I search for the best Chrome scraper extensions?

Yes. Add a search such as web scraper, then use rating, user, Featured, or verified filters if needed. These are source facts, not a quality check by this Actor.

Does it return the manifest and permissions?

Yes, when those facts are available. The row keeps parsed manifest facts such as permissions, host permissions, content scripts, and background service worker use.

Does it return publisher emails?

Yes, when an email is public on the listing. Missing contact fields stay null.

Does it scrape reviews or themes?

No. It can return the shown rating and rating count for extensions, but it does not collect review text or scrape themes.
