## Pricing

from $0.64 / 1,000 plugins

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## WordPress Plugin Scraper: Stats, Installs & Reviews

**Get the numbers behind any WordPress.org plugin: active installs, rating breakdown, support resolution, versions and compatibility, plus its public reviews. $0.80 per 1,000 plugins, $0.40 per 1,000 reviews.**

### Quick start

1. Press **Start**. The form is already filled with this example input, so the first run returns real rows in under a minute:

```json
{
  "plugins": [
    "woocommerce",
    "wordpress-seo"
  ]
}
```

2. Swap in your own values, or call the Actor through the Apify API, Make, Zapier, n8n or the Python/JS clients with the same JSON.
3. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel from the **Output** tab, or schedule the run to repeat.

### Sample plugin row (real run, trimmed)

```json
{
  "slug": "wordpress-seo",
  "name": "Yoast SEO – Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI",
  "author": "Yoast",
  "version": "28.8",
  "activeInstalls": 10000000,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "numRatings": 27820,
  "ratings": { "1": 846, "2": 139, "3": 201, "4": 642, "5": 25992 },
  "supportThreads": 45,
  "supportThreadsResolved": 42,
  "supportResolvedPercent": 93,

}
```

Review rows: plugin slug, title, star rating, date, review text, reply count and URL. Reviewer names are not collected.

### Who uses this

- **Plugin makers**: track your installs, rating and support score against competitors.
- **Agencies and site owners**: vet plugins before installing (last update, tested-up-to, support resolution).
- **Investors and analysts**: size WordPress niches by installs.

### How to use it

1. Add plugin slugs or URLs, or search by keyword, tag, or a list like `popular` / `new` / `updated`.
2. Turn on **Include reviews** and set reviews per plugin.

### Pricing

- **Plugin: $0.80 per 1,000** (Silver $0.72, Gold $0.64)
- **Review: $0.40 per 1,000** (Silver $0.36, Gold $0.32)
- Plus $0.00005 per run.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** WordPress.org's public plugin directory pages, data endpoints and review feeds, read at a polite pace.

### 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.

Plugin slugs or WordPress.org plugin URLs, e.g. "woocommerce" or "https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/".

## `searchKeyword` (type: `string`):

Optional. Find plugins by keyword (e.g. "booking calendar") and scrape the top matches, in directory order.

## `tag` (type: `string`):

Optional. Scrape plugins listed under a directory tag, e.g. "seo" or "ecommerce". Used only when no search keyword is set.

## `browse` (type: `string`):

Optional. Scrape a built-in directory list. Used only when no keyword or tag is set.

## `maxPlugins` (type: `integer`):

## `maxReviewsPerPlugin` (type: `integer`):

Newest reviews to save per plugin when reviews are on. 0 = all.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "plugins": [
        "woocommerce",
        "wordpress-seo"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mrslm_data/wordpress-plugin-stats-reviews").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "plugins": [
    "woocommerce",
    "wordpress-seo"
  ]
}' |
apify call mrslm_data/wordpress-plugin-stats-reviews --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mrslm_data/wordpress-plugin-stats-reviews"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
