Shopify App Store Scraper – Apps, Pricing Plans & App Reviews

Shopify App Store scraper (apps.shopify.com): search Shopify apps by keyword, list categories, get full app details (pricing plans, rating breakdown, developer, categories, languages, integrations, launch date) and Shopify app reviews with developer replies. No login, no browser.

Price: $2 per 1,000 apps and $0.50 per 1,000 reviews. Inputs that return nothing produce a free error row.

What data do you get?

Apps (type: "app")

• name, handle, url, tagline, shortDescription, description, keyFeatures, iconUrl, screenshots
• rating, reviewCount, ratingBreakdown (percent and count per star), reviewSummary (Shopify's AI summary of reviews)
• pricingSummary, hasFreePlan, lowestPaidPlanPrice and every pricing plan: plans[{name, price, priceAmount, billingPeriod, yearlyPrice, additionalCharges, freeTrial, features[]}]
• developer, developerUrl, developerAddress (business address published on the listing)
• categories, categoryHandles, features (category features), builtForShopify
• languages, worksWith (integrations), launchedAt, resources (privacy policy, FAQ, docs)
• position, searchQuery / category, isAd – the app's rank in the search results or category

Reviews (type: "review")

• appHandle, reviewId, reviewUrl, rating (1–5), date, text
• storeName (the reviewing store's business name), country, usageDuration (e.g. "Over 2 years using the app")
• developerReply and developerReplyDate

Modes

Mode	Input	Output
search	searchQueries – keywords like email marketing	Apps in App Store ranking order (ads skipped unless includeAds)
category	categories – handle or URL; top-level categories are expanded into sub-categories	Apps in category order
appDetails	appUrls – handles or URLs	One detailed row per app
reviews	appUrls + maxReviewsPerApp, reviewsSort (newest/relevance), reviewsRating (1–5)	Reviews with developer replies

With fetchAppDetails: true (default) search and category results include all app details. Set it to false for a quick list (name, rating, review count, pricing summary, short description, Built for Shopify) – same price per app, about 10× faster.

Pricing

Pay-per-event – you only pay for results. Platform usage is included.

Event	Price	When it is charged
app	$0.002 per app ($2 / 1,000)	Each app row (with or without full details)
review	$0.0005 per review ($0.50 / 1,000)	Each review row
Errors	Free	Unknown apps/categories, searches without results

Job	Cost
Top 20 apps for "email marketing" with full details	$0.04
All ~450 apps of the "Product reviews" category	$0.90
1,000 newest reviews of one app	$0.50

Apps are de-duplicated within a run, so an app found by several keywords is charged once. Set Max cost per run – the Actor stops cleanly at your budget.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor works as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n and other MCP clients). Ask, for example, "Compare the pricing plans of the top 10 Shopify product review apps" or "What do merchants complain about in Klaviyo's 1-star reviews from the last months?" The agent calls the Actor with:

{
    "mode": "search",
    "searchQueries": ["product reviews"],
    "maxApps": 10,
    "fetchAppDetails": true
}

Flat, consistently named fields (rating, reviewCount, plans[].priceAmount, developerReply) make the results easy for LLMs to compare and summarise.

FAQ

How many reviews can I get? All reviews shown on the App Store – the Actor follows the review pages (10 reviews per page) until maxReviewsPerApp is reached. Popular apps have tens of thousands; set 0 for all.

Why are ratingBreakdown counts rounded? Shopify shows them rounded (e.g. "47K"). Percentages and the total reviewCount are exact.

Are reviewers' personal names collected? No. Shopify App Store reviews are written by stores; the Actor only stores the store's business name, its country and how long it used the app. No emails, no profile links.

Why are some prices like "Free to install"? Usage-based apps don't have a fixed monthly price. price keeps Shopify's wording, additionalCharges explains the usage fees, and priceAmount is 0.

What about ads in search results? Sponsored listings are skipped by default so position reflects organic ranking. Set includeAds: true to keep them (marked isAd: true).

Do I need a proxy? No. The App Store is public HTML. The Actor is polite (3 parallel requests, automatic retries with back-off on HTTP 429). For very large runs you can enable Apify Proxy.

Which language? English listing texts (the App Store default). Pricing is shown in USD as published by Shopify.

Is it legal to scrape the Shopify App Store?

The Actor only extracts publicly available information that anyone can see on apps.shopify.com without logging in. It does not log in, does not install apps and does not collect personal data – reviews are attributed to store (business) names only, and developer details are the business information developers publish on their listings. Respect Shopify's Terms of Service, don't use the data for spam, and comply with laws such as GDPR when combining it with other data. If unsure, consult a lawyer. Read more: Is web scraping legal?
