FAQ

Can it search the store by keyword? No. The store's search pages are off-limits to robots, so the Actor works from IDs and links. Use Discover similar to grow a list from a few known extensions.

Does it collect developer emails? No. Only the public developer or company name is saved.

Is it legal?

This Actor only reads pages and feeds that the website itself publishes to every visitor without a login. It obeys each site's robots.txt, keeps a polite request rate, and never tries to get past logins, paywalls, captchas or bot checks. It does not collect personal data such as emails, phone numbers or names of private individuals. You are responsible for how you use the data: follow the source site's terms, copyright and the privacy laws that apply to you (GDPR, CCPA, etc.). This tool is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the platforms it reads.
