## Pricing

from $0.80 / 1,000 themes

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 Theme Scraper: Installs, Ratings & Downloads

**Every theme in the WordPress.org directory with active installs, downloads, ratings, versions, tags and requirements. $1.00 per 1,000 themes.**

Scrape the WordPress.org theme directory for active installs, downloads, ratings and theme details. Search or browse public theme data and export the results to CSV.

### 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
{
  "browse": "popular",
  "maxResultsPerList": 20
}
```

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 row (real run, trimmed)

```json
{
  "slug": "twentytwentyfive",
  "name": "Twenty Twenty-Five",
  "version": "1.5",
  "activeInstalls": 1000000,
  "downloads": 11101359,
  "rating": 4,
  "ratingCount": 14,
  "isBlockTheme": true,
  "requiresWp": "6.7",
  "requiresPhp": "7.2",
  "authorName": "WordPress.org",
  "lastUpdated": "2026-05-20T21:54:25Z",
  "tags": [
    "accessibility-ready",
    "block-patterns",
    "block-styles",
    "blog",
    "custom-colors"
  ]
}
```

Other fields: rating breakdown by stars, child/parent theme, commercial and community flags, author URL, created date, description (optional), preview, screenshot and homepage URLs.

### Who uses this

- **Theme makers**: track your installs and rating against competing themes.
- **Agencies**: shortlist well-maintained block themes by installs, last update and requirements.
- **Analysts**: measure trends like block-theme adoption across the directory.

### How to use it

1. Pick a list (popular, new, updated, featured), and/or add search keywords, feature tags (e.g. `e-commerce`), author usernames or theme slugs.
2. Set max results per list and run.

### Pricing

- **Theme: $1.00 per 1,000** (Silver $0.90, Gold $0.80)
- Plus $0.00005 per run. Failed or skipped targets are free.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** WordPress.org's public theme directory data, the same data its theme pages show.

**Are ratings out of 5?** Yes. WordPress.org stores them as 0–100; the Actor converts them to 0–5.

**Do I need a WordPress.org API key to collect theme data?**
No vendor API key is required.

**How do I search WordPress themes by keyword or feature?**
Add keywords to `searchQueries` and feature filters to `tags`. Set `browse` to None if you only want search or filtered results.

**Can I collect themes by author or specific theme slug?**
Yes. Add WordPress.org usernames to `authors` or theme slugs or URLs to `themes`.

**Can I export WordPress theme data to CSV or use MCP?**
You can download the dataset as CSV or connect an MCP client using [this MCP tools URL](https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=mrslm_data/wordpress-theme-directory).

**How much does it cost to save 1,000 WordPress themes?**
On the Free/Bronze tier, 1,000 saved themes cost $1.00, plus the $0.00005 run start fee, for $1.00005.

### 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.

# Actor input Schema

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

One of WordPress.org's theme lists. Choose None if you only want search, tag, author or slug results.

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Like the directory search box, e.g. "restaurant".

## `tags` (type: `array`):

Theme feature filters such as "full-site-editing", "e-commerce", "two-columns".

## `maxResultsPerList` (type: `integer`):

Per browse list, keyword, tag or author. 0 = all.

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

Usually not needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "browse": "popular",
  "includeDescription": true,
  "maxResultsPerList": 20,

# 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

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 = {
    "browse": "popular",
    "maxResultsPerList": 20

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "browse": "popular",
  "maxResultsPerList": 20
}' |
apify call mrslm_data/wordpress-theme-directory --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
